The journey of GTP iCommerce began in 2011 with the registration of the domain name—a simple idea ready to take shape. By 2012, this idea transformed into action as GTP iCommerce started from a home office, securing its first clients. The first client was a friend, followed by a major automotive dealership group in Perth.
As the business grew, so did the need for more space. In 2014, GTP iCommerce moved into its first official office in Pinjarra. However, with bigger ambitions came the need for larger premises. By 2016, the team expanded into Secret Harbour and Henderson, marking a period of rapid growth.
2017 was a pivotal year. The team had grown large enough to need business cards, marking a small but significant milestone. During this time, Google recognised GTP iCommerce’s impact by sending over the iconic Google Bike. By the end of the year, the Perth office had expanded to 10 team members, solidifying GTP iCommerce as a rising force in the digital marketing space.
In 2018, the momentum continued. GTP iCommerce expanded into a second unit in Henderson, providing more room for the growing team and larger goals. Tom Parker joined as co-director, investing in the business and shaping its future direction. That same year, the company achieved a major industry milestone by becoming a Google Premier Partner, recognising its ability to deliver exceptional results.
By 2021, GTP iCommerce’s leadership structure evolved, with Pod Leads becoming shareholders, ensuring that the company’s growth continued to be driven by those who had been integral to its success.
2024 marked another milestone year for GTP iCommerce. The company formed a strategic partnership with XDNA, further enhancing its capabilities. The acquisition of Aligned Agency strengthened its market position, and the opening of a new Fremantle office marked another exciting chapter in its evolution.
From humble beginnings in a home office to becoming a nationally recognised agency, GTP iCommerce’s journey is one of continuous growth, innovation, and a commitment to helping businesses thrive. And this is just the beginning.
