Allow CookiesAndrew Rozdale’s family immigrated to Canada from England and settled in North Vancouver which is where he grew up.
In his early twenties, Andrew got an opportunity to live and work in Europe for a few years. His British heritage made this easier since he had EU citizenship. This chapter in his life had a profound impact on him. During those years Andrew embraced the culture and he appreciated how the locals valued quality over quantity. According to Andrew, this way of life positively affected him and his future decisions.
Soon after, he launched his own company that sold products from Europe to customers in North America. A significant part of the success of his business had to do with the company website he built. Following a successful run, he received an offer to purchase his business which he accepted. Even though he sold his business, he retained his ecommerce roots.
After this chapter in his life, he was hired by some of Canada’s most well-known digital and ecommerce agencies. In addition to his education at the BC Institute of Technology (BCIT), Andrew acquired extensive job training to stay ahead of the ever-changing digital landscape. Over the years, he worked on more than 100 mid to large-scale digital projects, learning and growing from each one. Being an early adopter of new technology, Andrew loves anything that makes him feel like he’s living in the future.
Andrew joined Imprint Plus in 2021 as the ecommerce manager, with a long track record of success. He draws upon his knowledge of ecommerce, digital branding, content strategy, SEO/SEM, and UX to help Imprint Plus optimize its online performance. His data-driven approach allows him to consistently achieve positive measurable results.
