Sweating James Mcavoy GIF

I was sweating in Facebook’s office

You know when your CAC jumps 30% overnight and you’re begging for slides, not excuses? That was “sweating in Facebook’s office” in a nutshell.

  • How Dollar Shave Club nearly lost its edge—even after scaling up like a champ

  • The 4-word fix one CMO pulled to slow the slide (hint: it’s about WHO, not WHAT)

  • Why “lots of ads and tweaks” gets you sloppy—and what you do instead

  • A framework so clear you’ll wonder why others are making digital marketing complicated

If you hate surprises in your ad reports, this post is your antidote. Read it here before your own CAC starts sweating.

What if Your Next 100 Conversions Came From $0 Ad Spend?

People aren’t just shopping online anymore — they’re living online. Today, people listen to creators, not ads. So here’s the question your team will ask for Q4 :

How can I copy the Gymshark, Rhode, and Alo Yoga of my niche with a scalable creator program?

The answer?

By working with multiple niche creators at massive scale. 

  • Chip Ing went from 3 → 50 sales/day using massive product seeding, repeat gifting deals, and data-powered campaigns.

  • Bulk grew to $120M+ by partnering with sports coaches who loved their products. 

  • Duolingo disrupted language ed by teaming with creators whose audiences wanted to learn. 

But finding these influencers, managing hundreds of relationships, and tracking ROI in real time… it’s overwhelming 😵‍💫

Click Analytic makes it easy:

  • AI discovery of creators tagging you or competitors

  • One-click seeding & gifting—no spreadsheets or DMs

  • Live content, mention & ROI dashboards

  • Shopify UGC integration for repeat sales

Sound interesting?

  • Zero-risk 30-day trial

  • No contracts; cancel anytime

  • Full onboarding & support—no dev work required

The best DTC brands are already building their influencer armies. Want to know how they do it? 👀

Tik tok shops can make you a millionaire-
But your business probably isnt right for it.

The BEST shops brands have the same DNA:
- Impulse offer price point (below $29.99)
- female first targeting
- demand capture on MORE sales channels (viral on tik tok means viral on amazon)
- built in repeat (to make the affilate/gifting worth it)

Ridge is too expensive, too male, and too low LTV to work.

But if you check the boxes it can be a 10m a year channel FAST
