"Today more than ever before having a strong online offering is paramount to future success. Faced with the challenges of 2020, those that have been able to embrace the digital revolution quickest and most imaginatively whilst keeping their identity central have thrived where others have faltered.

The 2020 Hiscox online art trade report revealed that the impact of Covid-19 accelerated online sales, with online-only auction sales by Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillips 436% higher than the same period last year.

As an auctioneer I know how powerful ownership of auction data is for growing your business. iRostrum gives you this control, control of your data, your brand and your digital marketing strategy, with the freedom to access the global marketing options that will work hardest for you."
