THE LIVE SHOPPING SOLUTION FOR E-COMMERCE BRANDS


LIVESCALE PRESS KIT

WELCOME TO
LIVESCALE.

Our Mission:

Founded in 2016 by long-time friends and partners


Virgile Ollivier and Laurent Boutet, we sought to harness
the power of live streaming to create a solution that em-
powered creators to connect in real time, across media
platforms. From there, we identified a need for stronger,
more engaging e-commerce tactics, combining a brand’s
in-store persona with the engaging, viral moments con-
sumers expect each day on their devices. From there came
the Livescale you see today: a live shopping solution that
empowers brands to engage, convert, and attract cus-
tomers, through our fully customized and brand-owned
live shopping solution.
