We are sparring partners
not a service provider.

We advise brands with plain language, on equal terms and with a deep understanding of Amazon mechanisms. So that your business doesn't remain Amazon's plaything — and your Amazon advice brings more than nice slides.

How we work
PLEC team picture, Amazon consulting for brands

PLEC is not classic advice. We are a small, powerful unit of strategists, practitioners and experienced Amazon managers.

Our mission: Helping brands to ensure their independence, profitability and management through strategic Amazon advice. No PowerPoint advisors. But people who have mastered Amazon operationally.

The team behind our Amazon consulting for brands

Memoji, Amazon advice for brands
Phil Layer
Founder & Strategy Lead
Phil is the one who doesn't give up even after the third 'why. ' He doesn't think Amazon from the platform's point of view, but from the brand's point of view — and challenges every assumption until the figures are right.

Niclas M. Schuck
Advertising & Conversion Lead
Niclas never thinks of campaigns just in terms of clicks, but always in terms of buyers. With one eye on ad data and another on content, he ensures advertising that doesn't fizzle out, but sells.

What makes us different

🧩
Not a buzzword
Bingo
We speak plain language — even when it's uncomfortable.
🛠️
From practice,
for practice.
We come from doing. Not PowerPoint consultants, but real implementers.


🤝
We are your sparring partner.
We challenge, think along, ask the right questions — not just service according to regulations.

We believe that Amazon cannot be taken for granted — and certainly cannot be planned with Excel logics. If you want to be successful here, you need insight, the courage to make clear decisions and persistence.

Who works with us

We work with brands that are ready to make decisions.
🚀
With teams that want to get things done.
🤝
With companies that do not outsource responsibility but seek genuine exchange.
Memoji, Amazon advice for brands

“Our work starts where standard processes fail: When figures are no longer correct, growth fails or costs explode. We are by your side — but not as a recipient of orders, but as a sparring partner who tells you honestly what works. And what not. ”

Phil Layer, founder of PLEC

That's what our customers say

Memoji, Vendor Central Cost Audit
With PLEC, we have brought structure to our business, received transparency, advice and support — acting instead of reacting. There are professionals at work here who know what they're doing. This is a great pleasure, not only because of the visible success, but also because it fits on a personal level.

Memoji, Vendor Central Cost Audit
The complex requirements of AMAZON and their functions were always solved or a suggestion for an acceptable solution was found. The regular updates and optimization support have helped us significantly increase sales figures.

Martin Apfelbacher,

Alfred Schladerer Schwarzwälder Hausbrennerei GmbH
Memoji, Vendor Central Cost Audit
Business without Amazon is not an option. Once that's clear: How are you? Phil Layer knows it and can communicate it. With him, we developed a hybrid vendor/seller approach, which is already a sales engine today. And we're just getting started...
