Alibaba, adidas, Fortnum & Mason and Made.com to headline marketplace-retailer partnerships keynote at IRC 2019

Leading ecommerce players including Alibaba, adidas, Fortnum & Mason and Made.com are set to start the ball rolling at IRC 2019 by headlining a discussion focused on the ‘win-win’ scenario of emerging marketplace-retailer partnerships.

The retail quartet looks to set eyes on the new retail model. It sees a swift of what retailers used to consider the competition. Retail players are joining their forces with marketplaces to win customers rather separating to rival their counterparts. As a result, the ‘better together, than apart’ phenomenon sees both parties benefiting equally. That is, retailers get a larger exposure to their products, and marketplaces woo shoppers with a large selection of distinct products.

To explore this developing business model, Ian Jindal, co-founder and editor in chief of Internet Retailing, Stephen Dowling, vice president, digital growth of adidas, Zia Zareem-Slade, customer experience director of Fortnum & Mason, and Jo Jackson, chief creative Officer of Made.com as well as David Lloyd, managing director, UK & Nordics of Alibaba Group will share their thoughts in a panel discussion at IRC 2019.

The panel discussion named ‘Better together: Exploiting partnerships between retailers, brands, consumers and marketplaces’ will aim to explore the rising marketplace-retailer partnerships and their effect on the consumerism. Join the 10:15 am pre-coffee break discussion at Internet Retailing Conference 2019.
