Send us a textWant a marketing plan that survives platform changes, rising CPCs, and slow seasons? We sit down with CMO Matt Tyner to unpack a practical playbook for home service companies that blends brand building with capacity-aware demand generation. From HVAC to roofing, Matt's path reveals why the cheapest leads come from strong brands, how consistent execution compounds, and where most contractors accidentally sabotage their results.We get tactical fast: schedule blocking that protects strategy time, capacity boards that guide spend, and a weekly reporting rhythm that replaces guesswork with clarity. Matt outlines the metrics he tracks—booking rate, set rate, close rate, average ticket, reviews, NPS, and referrals—and explains how a dedicated follow-up team added millions in closed revenue without turning up the pressure. You'll hear why education-first newsletters outperform coupon blasts, what a thoughtful 120-day estimate cadence looks like, and how to keep tone aligned with your sales DNA.If you run multi-location brands, you'll appreciate Matt's deep dive on localization. Creative must reflect the market; what works in the Midwest can ring false in Florida. We talk about filming smarter, tightening shots, and adapting social and media mixes to demographics and seasonality. And when it comes to channel strategy, Matt makes the case for diversification: balance SEO, LSA, PPC, direct mail, OTT/CTV, OOH, referrals, and community partnerships so no single platform can derail your pipeline.The throughline is simple and demanding: consistency is the real silver bullet. Stick with partners long enough to learn, keep budgets steady enough to measure, and show up for your community so trust precedes every search. If you're ready to get brand-forward, tighten your follow-up, and lead with empathy while you scale, this conversation will give you concrete steps to start today.If this resonated, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a contractor friend who needs a steadier plan.

In this post-mortem episode, hosts Mike Ryan and Chris dive deep into the data behind the last peak season to reveal the true cost of Black Friday. They confirm what many performance marketers feared: the event is a "promotional bloodbath where margins are lost".The numbers are shocking: Google Ads spend was up over 31% year-over-year, but revenue only grew 15%, resulting in a massive 12% drop in Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). But the real trouble is profitability. Mike reveals an exclusive chart showing how the average gross profit margin dropped by 9 percentage points in the final week of November.What else is covered in this data-driven post-mortem:The Dilution of Demand: Why Black Friday search volume has been on a secular decline since peaking in 2018, and why the "doorbuster" concept is dead.The Hourly Opportunity: A never-before-seen hourly analysis that pinpoints the exact time when Cost Per Order (CPO) cools down and conversion rates peak, revealing the best time to run your budget.Competitor Strategy: A look at how Amazon is continuously ramping up spend, while the competition from Teemu drastically fell off on Black Friday itself.The Final Warning: Why the relentless increase in CPCs is the single biggest threat to the middle-of-the-pack online retailer.About smec (Smarter Ecommerce): At smec - Smarter Ecommerce, we specialize in transforming business goals into optimized ad campaigns.

EPISODE TW: Physical assault. Satan's misogynistic minions were hard at work this week… but so were we! The Supreme Court heard not one, but TWO abobo-related cases this week: First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin AND a case involving a violent clinic harasser we personally know all too well. SCOTUS is playing with the safety of pregnant people, the future of clinic protections, and the legality of deception as a political strategy. Did you think we'd let you drown in legalese all on your lonesome? HELL NO! Moji is flying solo this week on the pod, but she brought in the big guns to break down in normal peoplespeak WTF what went down this week. GUEST ROLL CALL! Dr. Michele Goodwin is BACK! The constitutional law scholar, award-winning author, AAF board member, and the sharpest legal badass we know is here to help us understand exactly what these cases mean and what the court is signaling about the future of abortion access. PLUS, welcome back Kristin Hady! AAF's very own Programs Director, extremist whisperer, and longtime Ohio-based clinic defender. Kristin has firsthand experience with the clinic harasshole whose case is now in front of the justices. She shares her personal story of how truly VIOLENT and dangerous this man is, and how his behavior connects to the larger ecosystem of anti-abortion extremism. This is a goodie you don't want to miss! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all. We gotchu. OPERATION SAVE ABORTION: Check out our NEW Operation Save Abortion workshop, recorded a live from Netroots Nation 2025 that'll train you in coming for anti-abobo lawmakers, spotting and fighting against fake clinics, AND gears you up on how to help someone in a banned state access abortion.

If Amazon ads now feel like a maze of rising CPCs, endless keywords, and dashboards that never sleep, you're not imagining it. The platform has shifted from organic-first to pay to play—and the only sustainable response is smarter execution that blends learning systems with human strategy.We sit down with the CEO of Ava Commerce to unpack what “AI-driven” should actually mean for Amazon and D2C brands. Instead of black-box promises, we explore a configurable approach: let AI learn from your data across campaign creation, bid optimization, dayparting, and keyword negation, but keep owners and PPC leads in control with rules at the store, product, and campaign levels. You'll hear how to tag products into portfolios with different TACOS goals, automate keyword isolation, and sunset underperformers quickly—freeing 65% of the grunt work so humans can focus on decisions that move margin.Context still wins. We break down when to push for top-of-search visibility over strict ACOS, how to pair ads with pricing and promotions to lift conversion, and why creative and SEO matter more than ever for CTR and CVR. We also dig into audience strategy for DSP, where human insight crafts timing and intent—like targeting competitor buyers when they are most likely to repurchase—while AI handles the execution. Beyond ads, we touch on cash discipline through FBA reimbursements and vendor funds recovery, and why unlimited strategic support helps teams turn software into outcomes.If you're ready to scale profit, not just spend, this conversation offers a clear playbook: align creative with conversion, reclaim lost dollars, and deploy configurable AI that learns while you lead. Subscribe, share with a fellow seller who needs a smarter PPC plan, and leave a review with the one lever you're automating first.Ready to scale your Amazon business?

Q3 earnings are in, and the consolidation is real. Hosts Mike Ryan and Chris dive into the gravity-defying numbers, confirming that Google's core ad revenue is up a strong 12.6% year-over-year (YoY), and their massive Cloud backlog sits at $155 billion USD. Chris states that Google is not the "bee-headed chicken" but remains the dominant "American eagle". The focus then shifts to Amazon, which has truly become a services business (Cloud and Ads), with its retail component no longer the core driver of its wealth.But the big story isn't the growth—it's the crisis. Mike and Chris reveal a dangerous surge in ad costs: CPCs in PMAX and Shopping are up an alarming 30% year-to-date (since week one of the year), with Shopping CPCs specifically soaring by 36% YoY. Chris warns that this kind of inflation is a "real threat" to Google's business model because it is "forcing especially small and middle businesses out" of the auction. They discuss whether a competitor like OpenAI could challenge Google by offering "massively discounted CPCs" to eat into market share. Finally, Mike introduces the free smec Market Observer tool that helps online retailers benchmark their CPCs and check competition levels from giants like Amazon and Temu.About smec (Smarter Ecommerce): At smec - Smarter Ecommerce, we specialize in transforming business goals into optimized ad campaigns.

The term crisis pregnancy center (CPC) refers to anti-abortion facilities that mislead, confuse, delay, misinform, and purposefully re-direct pregnant people looking for education and services, including abortion care. They are often referred to as fake clinics, but they are beginning to offer some medical services. Garnet Henderson and Susan Rinkunas, journalists and co-founders of Autonomy News, sit down to talk with us about the new, harmful deceptions that CPCs are rolling out nationwide.CPCs claim, without good evidence, an in-progress abortion can be halted through an “abortion pill reversal,” or the placement of progesterone between the ingestion of mifepristone and misoprostol—the two medications needed a medication abortion. This is based off myths of anecdotal regret, not scientific studies. In fact, the medical consensus is clear: the "abortion pill reversal" pseudoscience is ineffective and potentially dangerous. A case this Supreme Court term, First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin, stemmed from a subpoena from New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin to the First Choice chain of CPCs, seeking evidence on their abortion pill reversal claims. They have fought the subpoena up to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the "One Big Beautiful Bill" has cut Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid. Abortion providers are forced to make a choice: continue providing abortions and remain ineligible to participate in Medicaid, or halt abortion services. There is no early gestation ban on abortion in Wisconsin, but Planned Parenthood has chosen not to provide abortions in response to this law.

What is the role of the sponsor in planning and delivering major projects? When it comes to public transit infrastructure, on time and on budget is only part of the story. In this episode of Navigating Major Programs, Andrew Antinucci and Carol Deveney—seasoned sponsorship and governance experts at CPCS—join Riccardo in a layered and comprehensive conversation exploring what it really means to ensure not just completion but the benefits of every major programme.The three self-professed transit geeks unpack this evolving role in Canada. The sponsor is critical, but often misunderstood, responsible not just for justifying cost and schedule, but for identifying and defending monetizing and non-monetizing benefits throughout a project's lifecycle—for the communities the build will employ, serve, and exist within. From the business case to resisting scope adjustments to navigating multi-layer funding in a changing political climate, project sponsors are quietly shaping the success of the country's most ambitious projects.Key TakeawaysWhy the project sponsor is a champion of public benefits, not just project outputs;The importance of post-evaluation for recognizing the short- and long-term benefits;What Canada can learn from the UK's more mature sponsorship practices;How clear accountability reduces risk and speeds decision-making;What it takes to support scope, governance, and expectations at every phase.Quote:“When we're spending public money, I think all of us would agree we've got an absolute duty to say that we're spending it wisely because these things are expensive. There's never enough money to go around, not just our sector, but all the sectors. So the focus on cost should always be there. But, I think benefits are more difficult to explain because a lot of the time, especially in major projects, people get money, they understand what cost is, but the benefits are sometimes more nuanced.” - Carol DeveneyThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Read Riccardo's latest at https://riccardocosentino.com/ Find out more about Andrew Antinucci: https://cpcs.ca/team/andrew-antinucci/Find out more about Carol Deveney: https://cpcs.ca/team/carol-deveney/ Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

Your brand isn't an ad account but most Amazon and e-commerce sellers treat it like one. In this episode of Built by Business with Andy Isom, Andy explains why over-dependence on ads is the silent killer of e-commerce brands, how rising CPCs are exposing fragile businesses, and what separates brands that survive from those that collapse the moment ad spend stops. You'll learn how to: Spot if you're treating your brand like an ad account. Build organic flywheels with reviews, content, and community. Balance ad spend with long-term brand equity. Ads should fuel your growth not be your entire business model. Listen in to learn how to shift from rented growth to owned growth.

In this episode of The Ad Project, Joe and Maarja discuss the latest Amazon Ads algorithm changes shaking up Sponsored ProductsKey takeaways:Auto campaigns now account for nearly 40% of impressions, with broad match also climbing.Exact match still drives the highest conversion rates (>20%), but its share is shrinking.CPCs are rising on broad (+20% YoY) while auto remains cheapest.Amazon is weighting “Loose Match” and “Substitutes” more heavily within auto targeting.Advertisers should balance discovery and efficiency: run auto/broad with strong negatives, harvest winners into exact/phrase, and monitor impression share shifts.Adapt your strategy now—the balance between efficiency engines (exact) and discovery engines (auto/broad) is the new reality of Amazon Ads.

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that's been heating up since Amazon unveiled it at Unboxed last October: using AMC audiences for Sponsored Products. It's a conversation that's gone from a slow simmer to a full-on boil in recent months, and we've brought in two of Acadia's sharpest retail media minds to break it all down: Ross Walker and Carlos Sastre. We'll be exploring where the real impact is showing up, what's working, and what this shift means for the future of Sponsored Search. Tune in to find out more! "I don't care about winning every single eyeball for a keyword. I only care about winning the subset of eyeballs that are most likely to convert, be a high lifetime value customer, or be most likely to purchase multiple products in my assortment. That is the new game that we are moving towards in the future." Ross Walker KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Ross, and Carlos discuss: Overview of AMC Audiences for Sponsored Ads: The distinction between using AMC audiences in DSP vs. Sponsored Ads. In Sponsored Products/Brand Ads, AMC audiences act as bid modifiers rather than strict targeting mechanisms. Limitations and Current Capabilities: Advertisers can only boost bids for specific audiences, not exclude or exclusively target them. Only one AMC audience can be applied per campaign currently, which introduces campaign complexity. The "crawl, walk, run" approach: Start simple by identifying the campaign goal (upper vs. lower funnel) before layering in AMC audiences. Recommendations to duplicate existing campaigns and layer AMC audiences for more efficient targeting. Strong results from using purchaser and subscriber lookalike audiences (doubling ROAS and improving conversion rates). Cautions against hyper-granular audience building, which may limit scale and statistical significance. Leveraging “out of the box” audiences first before building complex custom audiences. Keep initial testing straightforward, scaling complexity only if justified by results. Notable reductions in CPCs and significant increases in ROAS for test campaigns that adopted AMC audiences. Dual campaign strategy allows efficiency gains without sacrificing overall volume. The introduction of more AMC-style features directly in the Amazon Ads console (e.g., new-to-brand bid boosting). The shift from keyword/product targeting towards audience-based bidding and what that means for campaign architecture and ROI. Amazon's continued pace of innovation in ad products enables proactive brands to gain an edge. The future of advertising on Amazon involves refining audiences beyond keywords, focusing spend on high-value customers. The importance of adapting campaign strategies to stay ahead as the platform evolves.

Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) is the most powerful tool you're not using. In this deep dive episode, Norm Farrar is joined by Mansour Narouzi of Incrementum Digital to break down how the smartest Amazon brands are using AMC to gain a competitive edge, unlock hidden customer data, and build powerful ad strategies using real insights. Whether you're a 7-figure seller or just getting started with DSP, this is your no-fluff, straight-tactics guide to understanding and using AMC — in plain English.
This week on the Autism Little Learners Podcast, I'm resharing one of my favorite episodes with Destiny Huff — and trust me, if you missed it the first time, now's your chance to tune in! We dive into all things IEPs — with a focus on accommodations and modifications that are truly neurodiversity-affirming. I know so many of us are working hard to write IEPs that are strengths-based and aligned with our values. This conversation will leave you inspired and more confident in doing just that. Destiny also shares such powerful insight about partnering with advocates. Instead of viewing them as adversaries, how can we team up and work toward shared goals?
Trump's new tariffs are crushing seller margins and confusing even the most advanced Amazon operators. But while most sellers are panicking, smart brands are pivoting. In this episode, Norm Farrar is joined by Dan Ashburn, co-founder of Titan Network and operator of $100M+ in Amazon brands, to break down exactly what sellers need to do in the short and long term to navigate tariffs, protect their cash flow, and gain market share while others retreat. This is your full game plan to survive — and thrive — through the chaos. _________________________________ This episode is sponsored by Levanta: Most sellers rely on ads to grow. But lately, that growth comes at a higher price. ROAS is inconsistent. CPCs are rising. And scaling often means overspending. Levanta's Affiliate Shift Calculator helps you explore a smarter mix—by modeling what would happen if you reallocated a portion of your ad spend into affiliate marketing. It's a free, expert-built forecast based on your own inputs—not guesswork.
Most brands obsess over acquiring new customers... But what if the real money — and sustainable growth — is hiding in the customers you already have?
Most companies take weeks to launch personalized B2B ads. I did it in five minutes—without AI. One campaign re-engaged a ghosted lead, got their CMO's attention, and closed the deal fast. Some companies using this are slashing CPCs by 50% and doubling engagement. The arbitrage is now—before everyone catches on.
