Tell Us About GoPlaces
GoPlaces launched in April 2024 with a vision to become the number one social commerce partner in the world. In two years, we have scaled from two co-founders to a team of 50, partnered with 22 clients, and generated £5m ARR — with a forecast to triple that in the next 12 months. We look after the full end-to-end management of TikTok Shop for our clients with everything from account management and customer service to live shopping, media amplification and creator/affiliate management.
We operate at the intersection of marketing, social media and retail. Our clients include Trip, PerfectTed, Haleon, Wrigley’s Extra, Pepsico, Shark Ninja, LG, UPSA and Sensodyne. Our campaigns combine data-driven intelligence with creativity and technology — from sell-out launches and overnight follower growth, to making TRIP the number one drinks brand on TikTok Shop in under 3 months.

What Makes GoPlaces Unique?
At the centre of our offering is OnePlace, our proprietary AI-powered intelligence platform, built to solve two critical industry problems. The first is fragmented and unreliable platform data that limits decision making. The second is the utilisation of proprietary internal agents that optimise everything from creator selection to machine learning powered inventory analysis.
Our proprietary tech stack gives our clients unique visibility on performance, measurement and our internal teams the tools needed to make real time decisions that optimise performance. New features include the embedding of all creators to brand approval and feedback flows and halo effect measurement that allows brands to understand the impact of the channel on their wider commerce and marketing goals.
