WHERE PREMIUM BRANDS COME TO GROW
If your eCommerce marketing used to work brilliantly and lately it’s feeling like you’re pushing harder for smaller returns — you’re not imagining it. The landscape has genuinely changed. And the instinctive responses most brand owners reach for when results decline are almost always the ones that make things worse. In this episode, Catherine Langman […]
A premium eCommerce brand. $4,000 a month in Meta ads. Conversion rate: 0.9%. They’d tried everything on the ads side. New creative. New audiences. New campaign structure. A new agency.

Let’s talk about the week you’re probably having… Petrol prices have hit $2 a litre – and heading higher – thanks to the US-Israel strikes on Iran disrupting global oil supply.

Social posts, emails, product descriptions, blog articles, ads. The volume is enormous. But most of it lands with a thud. No engagement. No emotional response. If you even notice it at all… […]
Two weeks ago on the podcast, we went deep on the damage that constant discounting does to your brand. The profit erosion. The customer conditioning. The way it trains your audience to never pay full price. We talked about the four buyer types and how constant discounting only speaks to one of them — while […]
