Scandinavian digital consultancy firm Zington, and interactive live video shopping provider Bambuser, announce a strategic partnership to bring interactive live video shopping to Nordic e-commerce companies.

In the spring of 2020, Zington noted an increased interest in live shopping solutions in Europe and began work on finding the best solution for its customers. Bambuser, a pioneer in mobile live streaming since its inception in 2007, launched Live Video Shopping based on its proprietary technology in September 2019. Bambuser thus became the first company to offer live shopping outside Asia and today the technology is used by some of the world’s largest brands and e-commerce companies.

Tonje Berg, CEO of Zington Digital Business Norway said, “We believe that live shopping is the future of e-commerce. Meeting the modern consumer requires more than static images and product descriptions. The social and entertaining aspect of shopping will continue to evolve, and so will the merging of online and offline channels. We have already started live shopping projects and expect to announce our first joint customer soon.”
