Prime Day competition is rising. Learn how smarter Amazon ads, AMC audiences, DSP, video, and AI creative can help sellers capture more traffic and conversions before, during, and after it. Prime Day is no longer just about turning up your Amazon PPC budget and hoping the extra traffic converts. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali Patel sits down with Destaney Wishon of BTR Media to break down what sellers should expect from Prime Day, how advertising behavior has changed, and why brands need a more intentional strategy around bids, budgets, audiences, and creative. Destaney explains why campaign structure is one of the biggest levers sellers can control before a major shopping event. Instead of relying on one broad campaign, she recommends segmenting campaigns by goal, including awareness, ranking, efficiency, brand defense, auto discovery, and conquesting. This gives sellers the flexibility to shift budget based on what they actually want to accomplish, whether that is improving BSR, protecting profitability, capturing existing demand, or creating more awareness before shoppers are ready to buy. The episode also dives into how AMC and DSP are changing the way Amazon sellers approach advertising. Destaney shares why shoppers often click or add to cart days before purchasing, which means brands may be cutting off future sales if they lower bids too quickly. She also explains how AMC audiences can help sellers target higher-intent shoppers, such as cart abandoners or people more likely to buy premium products, while DSP and streaming TV can help create demand before shoppers even search on Amazon. To close the conversation, Destaney breaks down practical Prime Day tactics for new brands, low-priced products, lead-in and lead-out periods, dayparting, automatic campaigns, and creative assets. Her biggest reminder is that there is no one-size-fits-all Prime Day strategy. The brands that win are the ones that understand their goals, know their margins, use data wisely, and build an ad strategy that fits their business instead of copying someone else's playbook. In episode 528 of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali and Destaney discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 01:48 - Destaney Wishon's Amazon Advertising Background 02:49 - The 3-Part Prime Day Advertising Checklist 03:22 - How To Segment Campaigns By Strategy 05:35 - Bid Management For Ranking, Efficiency, And Discovery 06:32 - Why Amazon Ads Are Harder Than Before 09:02 - Why Shoppers Take Longer To Convert 10:20 - How Multiple Ad Types Improve Conversion 12:24 - How To Use AMC Audiences For Prime Day 16:21 - Creating Demand Before Shoppers Search 20:27 - Sponsored Prompts, Video Ads, And AI Creative 26:42 - Prime Day Q&A: AMC, Bids, Budgets, And New Brands
In this episode of The DTC Insider, Brian Roisentul sits down with Arshad Bahl, founder of Amrita, to discuss what it really takes to build a profitable DTC brand in an industry obsessed with growth at all costs.Arshad shares how the CPG landscape has changed over the last decade, why venture capital has shifted the priorities of many founders, and why he believes profitability, customer retention, and operational excellence matter far more than chasing revenue at any cost.They dive into the retention strategies that have helped Amrita grow sustainably, including why the first three orders are the most important in a customer's journey, how to bridge the trust gap with new customers, and why referrals and word-of-mouth continue to outperform many modern acquisition channels.Arshad also breaks down his approach to manufacturing, margins, customer acquisition, and channel strategy, sharing practical insights for founders looking to build stronger businesses without relying solely on paid media.Plus, they discuss the importance of building a business around your values, creating opportunities for neurodiverse talent, and why a profitable $5 million business might be a better outcome than a stressful $100 million one.--This episode is brought to you by BSR.BSR helps 7-figure+ brands build and optimize strategic growth systems that unlock hidden revenue and scale profitably, without adding chaos, channels, or unnecessary spend.To learn more about BSR, visit their website or book a call.

Today, I have the honor to speak with back-to-back BSR champion, Josh Izewski. Josh not only won the ten mile race, but he did so in an impressive 45 minutes and 8 seconds, that is roughly a 4 minute and 30 second mile pace. This unbelievable performance not only set a course record, but it marked the fastest 10-miler ever by an American! Josh joins me to discuss this amazing accomplishment. He explains what he believes makes the broad street run unique, how he approached it, how he managed to run the course 65 seconds faster than his winning time last year, and what it meant to him to set the course record at the largest 10-mile race in the country. Roughly 40,000 runners raced down broad street, and Josh tells me what it was like leading the pack with the huge crowds who came out to cheer and bring the energy that only Philly can provide. Josh unpacks what he did differently that allowed him to be aggressive on race day, how he stays consistent and dialed-in with his training and how his mentality and belief helped him run at his best. Josh recently signed as a professional runner with Asics and he is set to move closer to his family in the New Jersey / Pennsylvania area with his fiancée and dogs.Josh's InstagramSupport the show

In this episode of the Broad Street Review Podcast, host Darnelle Radford welcomes director Morgan Green to discuss the Philadelphia Theatre Company's adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. They explore the shared leadership model in Philadelphia theatre, the unique interpretations of the cast, and the relevance of the play in today's society. The conversation delves into character analysis, choreography, and the audience's engagement with the production, highlighting the emotional and political themes that resonate with contemporary issues.A Bold and Modern New AdaptationCaesarAdapted by Tyler Dobrowsky From Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare Directed by Morgan GreenWhat would you do to protect your home?Shakespeare's classic political tragedy is reborn as a gripping contemporary thriller in this bold new adaptation by Tyler Dobrowsky. Caesar stays true to Shakespeare's original language but trims the story to its leanest, most urgent core—cutting to the heart of ambition, authoritarianism, and the cost of protecting democracy.Brutus, a principled Roman senator, joins a conspiracy to assassinate Julius Caesar, fearing the rise of tyranny. But once the deed is done, the fragile dream of liberty spirals into violence, unrest, and civil war. As alliances shift and Rome descends into chaos, the play asks: Who gets to hold power? And at what price?Running just 95 minutes, Caesar is fast-paced and fiercely relevant, inviting audiences to draw parallels between ancient Rome and the political tensions of our world today.In a season about what it means to be home, Caesar asks: who gets to shape the future of a nation? And what are we willing to risk to defend the place—and people—we love?ABOUT MORGAN CLAIRE GREENPTC: Debut.

It served as a commuter bike, camera dolly, and grip truck during YBC founder Joshua Crone's first two years in Hollywood. When actors came by the studio they would find it parked outside to make room for rehearsal or filming. Over time the yellow bicycle became a signpost, a symbol of the collective: a loose-knit group of theater and film artists committed to doing ambitious work, even under humble circumstances. A group that was going places, even if it meant cycling uphill against the wind. When Crone moved to New York in 2018, the bike stayed behind in Joshua Tree. But its spirit lives on in its successor, a 1975 Raleigh (pictured here at Lyons Falls, NY), and in its namesake: Yellow Bicycle Collective.As a resident theater company of the new Yellow Bicycle Theater in Center City, Philadelphia, Yellow Bicycle Collective is now a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit corporation committed to producing edgy new writing, experimental reworking of classic plays, and training in all aspects of fringe theater and indie film production. Its mission, as outlined in its Articles of Incorporation, is to enrich, educate and entertain the community by providing unique experiences at the interface of theater and film.FOR MORE INFORMATION: https://yellowbicycle.org | https://yellowbicycle.com/

Learn how to take back control of your Amazon PPC, fix costly agency mistakes, and use rules-based ads plus new Sponsored Products video formats to scale profitably on Amazon. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley dives into one of the biggest pitfalls he sees Amazon sellers fall into: handing their PPC over to an agency before they truly understand how advertising works. That loss of control doesn't just cost money; it keeps you in the dark on whether your campaigns are actually growing your brand or quietly draining profits in the background. To prove it, he spotlights a real case study from the new Helium 10 Outsourced to Optimized series. Helium 10's own Carrie Miller and Destaney Wishon from BetterAMS walk through what happened when they opened Carrie's account: profitable campaigns randomly shut off, creatives that didn't match search intent, and VCPM display campaigns that looked like rock stars in the dashboard but weren't driving incremental sales. From there, they rebuild the entire strategy on the fundamentals: a clean campaign structure, SKUs grouped intelligently, 10-30 targets per campaign, and rules-based bid management tied to real business objectives, such as organic rank, BSR, and strict ACoS targets. Throughout the conversation, you'll see how a self-described “non-PPC person” can learn to manage sophisticated Amazon ads with the help of Helium 10 Ads and their Ads Academy training. Destaney shows Carrie how to utilize bid rules, keyword harvesting, negative targeting, and Amazon's newer tools, such as Creative Studio and Sponsored Products video ads, without turning PPC into a full-time job. They also break down off-season strategies, what to fix when you're getting impressions but no conversions, and how much of your revenue should realistically flow back into ads. The big takeaway: whether you keep an agency, lean on software, or run everything yourself, you need to understand the basics of Amazon PPC so you can keep partners accountable and finally take back control of your Amazon advertising.

Why the focus on pricing and why is it so important at the end of the day?Chad 00:00:48 Yeah. So. Well, firstly, the reason why I was focused on price was that I was trying. I'm trying. I'm still working through it. I've been working on turning around my e-commerce business. It's been deteriorated over time. Didn't get a lot of love for me as I've been building other initiatives in my life.Chad 00:01:03 And so, you know, for me, I optimize spend and my ACOs, and I've been optimizing our conversion rate and my listings itself and the infographics on those listing pages. But the one thing that's driving the most to the bottom line is a very small lever, and it swings big doors, but it's not being swung with price. And I just couldn't understand why. Like if we have a $10,000 ad campaign, you would never leave it on. You would never leave it on optimized, you'd always be optimizing it. So why is nobody optimizing price? Because it's a it's hard to understand and it's very manual. And by the time you make the change to the price, the market shifted. So this is why I focus on it. And it's a juicy it's a delicious problem.Josh 00:01:50 It really is. And it can provide I mean it's a huge impact to your bottom line, right? If you want to, you know, increase your bottom line, the best way to do it is just by raising your prices.Josh 00:02:01 Says Roland Frazier, one of the previous guests that we've had on the show. One of the things that he does first, when he acquires any businesses is he simply raises prices. Because to your point, so many brands do not touch their price. They're too scared to be honest with you because they're like, well, I like sales where they're at. If I raise them, you know, 10%, 25%, I'm going to lose it. All right. And I think I actually fell in that camp prior to all of the inflationary environment that we've been in recently with Amazon continually increasing their FBA fees. You've got manufacturers increasing, you know, the cost of goods that you're purchasing from them. ACOs is going up ads. So with all of that, like our back was against the wall, although I felt like, hey, 1999 is kind of the that's the tipping point. You go over the $20 like you cross that mental bridge of $20 and something cents Since all heck is going to break loose, right? And I'm just going to be in a downward spiral, lose my market share.Josh 00:03:08 And on the contrary, we raise the price by $5, increase the price by 25%, and still maintain we were currently the number two best seller in that entire product category. Didn't move a needle. We stayed right there. Now we've got more profit coming to the bottom line. So I want to ask you the question, Chad. Like, are you seeing the same thing with a lot of the clients that you're working with and these early users of the software, that there is more room to increase prices on Amazon, and it's not affecting organic rankings or it's not a spiral downward. Or are you seeing the opposite true of hey, really like lower your price? Yeah, you get margin compression. But man, you you shoot to the roof and you stay locked in in those top positions. What what have you seen.Chad 00:03:57 Well, okay. So Profasee in general is about maximizing profit without sacrificing your BSR. So there's a lot of people in the Amazon space that say, just raise prices. And that's a lot of times could be reckless advice and insight, right? Because like, pricing isn't one size fits all.Chad 00:04:14 And yes, pricing needs to change. But the question is should it go up or should it go down because you can increase price and that may offset demand and you can lower price. It may spur demand. It'll increase ...
