NEW YORK , August 10, 2011 (press release) – Shiseido has officially unveiled their first eCommerce site, opening up a new sales pipeline in the highly lucrative US Market. The site was designed by Night Agency, a digital creative agency based in New York.

Shiseido appointed Night Agency to lead the massive site overhaul in January 2011 as part of a concerted effort to further integrate digital and social into their marketing mix. Night Agency was responsible for leading creative and strategic development for the iconic beauty brand's digital presence in the US, and tapped partners Netrada and Demandware to provide eCommerce solutions. Night Agency has also been awarded responsibility for digital media planning and buying as well as supporting specific product launches in the digital space.

"One of our guiding principles is to have a deep understanding of our customer, and we are dedicated to high quality, high image and high service," explained Gisela Ballard, Executive Director of Marketing, Shiseido Cosmetics America.
