You don’t need to go all AI or NO AI with your creatives… leaning too far either way means wasting budget on low-quality output or falling behind brands launching faster. The smarter approach sits in the middle. We use AI as a supplement in specific parts of our creative workflow where it fills gaps we couldn’t solve efficiently otherwise. Take a mattress brand as an example. You can't easily ship a mattress to a UGC creator. It's expensive, logistically painful, and the content you get back is usually mediocre anyway. You either run without that type of content, or you use AI to create a high-production photoshoot or a lifestyle video that would have cost 10s of 1000s of dollars to produce in a real studio. We're doing the latter, and it's working. It falls flat when brands use it as a shortcut on products where real content could be created easily and would perform better. People can tell if it’s AI-generated or not. Maybe not consciously, but the feed scroll is trained now. If you're running AI creative on a skincare brand that could easily get genuine UGC, you're sacrificing performance because the authenticity isn’t there. The best approach is to use AI to strengthen parts of the creative workflow that would have otherwise cost 1000s in production.

Meta quietly rolled out two new breakdowns in Ads Manager. 1. First time vs. repeat purchase conversion data. 2. Visibility into how much of your performance is being driven by their AI. It’s worth pulling, but not worth trusting blindly. We've seen...
The thing that got you to $1M won't get you to $10M. What got you to $10M won't get you to $50M. Brands hit a ceiling when they stop testing. They find a winner and protect it instead of building the...
As I was building my MRR analysis feature, I realized that there is much more power in our MRR schedule than we realize. With the correct metadata, we have a revenue intelligence engine that will provide more insight for our sales...
The same ratings look better or worse, depending on the format they are presented in. Researchers find: “Cumulative formats tend to buffer negative feedback, making poor scores appear less severe. This can help reduce customer churn and maintain trust in platforms. In contrast, incremental...
Early positioning beats late capital every time. Amazon just invested $50 billion in OpenAI for 6 percent ownership and distribution rights. Microsoft invested $13.8 billion starting in 2019 and owns 23.5 percent with exclusive IP, revenue sharing, and API control locked through...
Vineet Jain's board: "Why aren't you doing freemium? Why are you swimming upstream?" Box and Dropbox were giving it away. Raising billions. He refused. Freemium is for consumers. Not enterprises. 2016: Gartner puts @Egnyte in the Leader quadrant. Next to companies that raised...

Ecom operators are surrounded by data meant to guide them, yet they’re still operating in the dark. Plenty of brands know their ROAS. Far fewer know their: - Break-even ROAS - Blended CAC against contribution margin - CPMs relative to 2026...

I get questions about our home valuation every day. They usually sound like “they made a bad offer” - this is actually what’s happening: They selectively price low-risk homes aggressively. They keep wider spreads on higher-risk homes. When I look into bad offer...
