View AllLeapOut Digital Opens 2H 2026 with Three Enterprise Retail Commerce Wins
New engagements with Kino Consumer Philippines, Rustan’s and Primer Group underline the ICOM member agency’s strength across retail commerce, Shopify platforms, performance marketing and next-generation AI search visibility.
LeapOut Digital entered the second half of 2026 with three enterprise wins across prominent Philippine organisations — Kino Consumer Philippines for Lola Remedios, Rustan’s and Primer Group. Each engagement serves a different business objective, yet together they reflect the same opportunity: helping brands grow through connected retail commerce.
Three Wins, One Clear Direction
The new engagements reinforce LeapOut’s focus on retail commerce as a strategic growth engine rather than a simple online sales channel.
For Kino Consumer Philippines, the agency is delivering a full digital marketing and brand campaign for Lola Remedios — built to strengthen awareness, sharpen messaging and drive measurable commercial impact across channels.
For Rustan’s, LeapOut is supporting a Shopify migration together with content production and catalogue management, helping elevate one of the Philippines’ most established premium retailers through a stronger and more scalable digital commerce foundation.
For Primer Group, the brief centres on AI search visibility — Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) across the group’s Shopify storefronts — supporting its push to be found, cited and recommended as consumers shift from search engines to answer engines.
Taken together, the wins highlight how retail and consumer brands are looking for more integrated partners: agencies that can connect storytelling, acquisition, technology, merchandising and platform performance as one unified system.
Commerce Now Extends Beyond the Storefront
These wins also reflect a broader market shift. Businesses are no longer asking only how to launch or improve an online store. They are asking how brand, content, customer acquisition, platform performance, merchandising, data and post-purchase relationships can work together as a connected growth engine.
That shift plays directly into LeapOut’s expanding role: combining commerce strategy, Shopify expertise, performance marketing, content operations and AI search capability to help brands build more resilient digital ecosystems.
Retail commerce is no longer just about launching a website or driving traffic. The real opportunity is to connect brand, platform, merchandising, discovery and loyalty into one system that compounds over time.

Enterprise Commerce Momentum Continues
Beyond these immediate wins, LeapOut continues to build a wider pipeline in enterprise commerce.
Upcoming work includes enterprise migrations on Shopify with integrations to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enabling brands to connect customer-facing commerce with inventory, finance and back-office operations.
The pipeline also includes building loyalty initiatives for Belo and supporting Maxicare’s headless commerce journey — both examples of how commerce strategy now reaches beyond checkout into retention, experience design and long-term customer value.
These projects underline a clear pattern: clients increasingly need solutions that are not only visually compelling and conversion-focused, but also operationally sound, scalable and future-ready.
An ICOM Perspective with Regional Relevance
As an ICOM member agency, LeapOut sees these wins not simply as isolated account additions, but as proof of a broader capability increasingly relevant across the network: the ability to bridge modern retail commerce, Shopify platform expertise and AI-era discoverability.
That perspective is strengthened by active participation in the wider ICOM community, where collaboration across markets continues to shape how member agencies solve increasingly complex commerce challenges for clients.
Looking Ahead
The start of 2H 2026 signals more than short-term momentum for LeapOut. It confirms a longer-term direction centred on connected commerce — where brand, platform, acquisition, content, operations and retention are designed to work as one.
For ICOM partners, this creates clear opportunities for collaboration in retail, Shopify and digital growth mandates where integrated commerce capability is becoming an increasingly important differentiator.
That conversation will soon have a home: LeapOut, together with the RCJ Group, will co-host the ICOM World Meeting 2027 in Manila — welcoming the network to one of Asia’s fastest-moving commerce markets.
