How do you turn small TikTok creators into big sales? Our guest shares his playbook for building a loyal creator army, getting more posts, and scaling TikTok Shop beyond Amazon. What does it really take to turn small creators into big sales on TikTok Shop? In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali Patel sits down with Josh Hadley to unpack the systems, strategies, and mindset shifts that helped him build an affiliate army of more than 5,000 creators. Josh shares how TikTok Shop helped revive his business during a difficult season and why sellers should stop treating creator marketing like a side tactic and start treating it like a real growth engine. A big takeaway from this episode is that success on TikTok Shop does not come from sending random samples and hoping for the best. Josh explains how brands need to get laser-focused on their target audience, identify the right creator profiles, and build outreach systems that actually lead to responses. He walks through how his team finds creators, studies competitors, uses outreach tools, sets commission structures, manually approves samples, and gets creators off-platform to build stronger, long-term relationships. His approach is less about chasing big influencers and more about finding the right smaller creators with strong content potential. Josh also dives into what most sellers are missing after the first outreach. He explains how creative briefs, email nurture flows, contests, and regular communication help turn one-time creators into loyal brand ambassadors. For Amazon sellers, this episode is especially valuable because it shows how TikTok Shop can complement an existing brand when the right SOPs, systems, and team are already in place. If you have been wondering how to get creators to actually post, how to compete with brands using similar tactics, and how to make TikTok Shop work without abandoning Amazon, this episode offers a detailed, actionable blueprint. In episode 508 of the AM/PM Podcast, Shivali and Josh discuss: 00:00 - Introduction 00:52 - Josh Hadley's Background And Why TikTok Shop Matters 02:46 - When Amazon Sellers Should Expand To TikTok Shop 06:22 - The Playbook Behind 40 Viral Videos And 5,000 Creators 07:14 - From Business Struggles To A TikTok Shop Breakthrough 11:51 - How To Find The Right Creators And Study Competitors 19:38 - Bots, Targeted Collaborations, And Sample Approval Strategy 24:58 - Why Off-Platform Creator Contact Is Critical 27:28 - Email Nurture, Creative Briefs, And Getting More Creator Posts 28:54 - Commission Rates, Creator Selection, And Why Small Creators Win 36:32 - Fulfillment, Creator Retention, And Long-Term Relationship Building 45:06 - Why TikTok Shop Is Still A Gold Rush For Brands

If you're a creative, marketer, or brand strategist, you've probably felt the frustration of working on campaigns that lack clear direction. Maybe you've been handed a brief and thought, This doesn't feel right, but you weren't given the space to challenge it. Or maybe you've seen brands struggle to stand out because they're stuck following trends instead of creating something original. In this episode, Cole sits down with Matt Trappe—photographer, director, and brand strategist in the running world—to help you understand how creatives can play a bigger role in shaping brand strategy, rather than just executing it. Matt and Cole break down why integrating creative thinking into brand strategy leads to stronger, more authentic storytelling—and ultimately, better results. Key Topics: The tension between marketing and creativity—why brands need both but often default to marketing-led approaches. How brands can empower creatives to contribute beyond execution and influence strategy. The importance of knowing your audience deeply rather than relying solely on data-driven decisions. Why originality and authenticity matter more than ever in an era of mass content production. The viral success of the Strava x Chipotle challenge and how great storytelling drives engagement.

Julian Cole is the Strategy Principal at the Strategy Finishing School, where more than 4,000 strategies from agencies, clients and elsewhere have come to round out their strategic capabilities, particularly when it comes to briefing. Julian has a particular interest in improving briefing, particularly the creative brief. For over a decade, procurement has been looking for ways to reduce marketing and advertising costs. One of the main focuses has been reducing agency fees. But of course, there was a more effective solution, but perhaps not an easier solution to improving advertising and marketing outputs and effectiveness while at the same time reducing waste. That is by improving briefing. The way clients brief their agencies. And how agencies develop creative briefs for themselves. Julian shares his insights on how to improve the creative brief and the distinct differences between a client brief to the agency sand the agency creative brief.

When you need creative assets, it's your role to brief this to the design team as succinctly and as organised as possible. Learning from my mistakes on what not to do, these 10 nuggets are compiled from what I WISH I'd known straight away. One thing's for sure, they didn't cover this in ANY of my marketing qualifications. Happy design team = happy life (and incredible campaigns!) so listen up!
If you're in a creative role at your agency, you're probably familiar with receiving creative briefs that just don't measure up. Instead of getting inspired to do great work, you're left wondering where to start or what the point of the project is. If you've ever created or pitched a brief, on the other hand, you've probably worked from a template or simply checked off the boxes of the bare minimum — it happens to the best of us! This week, I'm interviewing Tim Brunelle, a creative director with decades of experience in marketing and advertising. Over the years, he has seen hundreds of creative briefs that span the whole spectrum between gold and garbage. When our brief falls flat, it won't inspire our creative minds to do great work. In this episode, Tim challenges us to think bigger and better rather than checking off the boxes and reading from a sheet of paper in our briefing meetings. When we think creatively about our creative briefs, we get a wealth of inspiration in return. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why creative briefs often fall flat for creative teams Why brief-makers should care about the project just as much as the creative team they're hiring The two core functions of creative briefs What the pipeline of the creative briefing process should look like How to mentor and inspire creativity across teams to collaborate on the briefing process Why location is important when discussing your vision Determining when a creative brief is necessary to inspire a team to do ground-breaking work

Esther Wang is two years into her strategy career. We recently spoke in a Sweathead Happy Hour (online) about creative briefs–How do you make them good? How do make them better? How do make them something that creative teams will use? So, in this episode, we wanted to have that kind of conversation again. We talk about why talking about creative briefs is a much more complicated discussion than many people realize. We workshop a creative brief to get teachers to use an online learning system. And we discuss the 3 to 4 phases that brief writers tend to mature through. There is a lot of thinking out loud in this episode but, without admitting the mess involved in our work, well, we'd be liars.

This episode is a panty dropper. Oh man we are already sorry for writing that line BUT we promise it sorta makes sense given that today's episode is all about underwear. And even wilder: recycled underwear. Keep your pants on while we explain: this week we spoke with Eleanor Turner, the founder and CEO of The Big Favorite, which is a company making super soft and circular understuffs (their brilliantly coined term for undershirts and underwear) for men and women. They are an innovative, thoughtful, and offbeat brand with an incredible mission to put a dent in the 11 million pounds of understuffs that go into landfills and incinerators every day. EVERY DAY, YOU GUYS. To use their great slogan: The Big Favorite goes places, just not in the trash. The Big Favorite is new to market but already making a big splash—being worn by the likes of Nicole Richie and featured in Vogue and Marie Claire among others. Eleanor herself is a heavy hitter in the fashion design world, with iconic American brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch, and J.Crew on her resume. She also co-founded the direct-to-consumer company, Argent, where she innovated workwear with four patents pending and dressed trailblazing women like Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Glossier's Emily Weiss, and actress, Awkwafina, among others. We got to hear about how The Big Favorite was formerly a cotton workwear brand led by her great grandfather in the 30s and how she revived it using a lot of the original heart and story and adding in quirkiness, fun, humor, and intention.Beyond the amazing backstory and mission, we gabbed about:—How undergarments are the one apparel category you can't donate or resell. And how The Big Favorite is changing that with their zero-waste, plastic-free, circular, understuffs.—The genius process of how TBF is recycling their own textiles—How Eleanor created a Brand Personality and tone of voice for TBF that deviates from the sustainable fashion industry status quo and how that has impacted everyone from the models on her photoshoots to consumers.—The eventual plan for these products to be carried at corner stores so that good quality can meet convenience.—The creative strategy for people to experience joy when they interact with the brand. —The importance and payoff of taking risks with your branding.—Not shying away from the funny/weird sides of your business —Eleanor's mission to conquer textile waste, get her hands dirty cleaning up the planet...and have a blast doing it.—Her time as the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer at ArgentWe also play a rousing game of Mascot Who? and riff on slogans that would convince party-going teens to ‘responsibly rage' and recycle their beer cans.

How can we unlock our creative potential in a COVID-19 world of work from home lockdowns? Starting this week on the B-side with James Barrow podcast, I'll be launching the ‘In the house sessions' where I speak to guests remotely from home, and discuss all things I would typically, along with how they're responding to the changes brought about by these crazy, unprecedented times.In this episode though, I'll be going solo, sharing my perspective on the recent events and drawing upon information supplied by the UN, who have put out a Global brief to creatives, to develop ideas that promote their public health messages. And because I suffered a touch of social isolation, lockdown-induced cabin fever, I threw in an unashamedly rubbish COVID-19 inspired D'angelo cover, for your listening pleasure.I discuss the UN's creative brief in detail and how we can maintain our health, sanity and stay creative in isolation. And I have a massive rant about a few things that are grinding my gears too if you skip through these sections I won't hold it against you.It's somewhat of a stream of consciousness so forgive me for jumping around a bit.

"Tabletop direction" means that Catherine has worked on a plethora of food commercials, including McDonalds, Pomidorka, Honig, and more. We get in to what it’s like being one of few women on set in a highly technical environment, imposter syndrome, working in a creative profession, and asking for raises. At one point I mention negotiation scripts, I’ve used Ramie Sethi’s (found here) if there are others you’ve tried, please do let me know!

The Creative Brief is the blueprint of a marketing communications effort. It provides guidance and vision for all the disciplines required to construct a successful integrated campaign—Research, Strategy, Account Management, Creative, Media, Production, PR, Social, Search, and Experiential. Unfortunately, most briefs are poorly crafted, overly long and often ignored. An effective brief, by contrast, inspires collaborative excellence among all involved in the process. In an era when brands bring together multiple agencies to execute an integrated campaign, clear and effective Creative Briefs are more important than ever. ----more---- About Michael Lynch's guest: Jim Copacino is Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Copacino+Fujikado in Seattle He began his career in New York at DDB and Young & Rubicam, before moving west to Chiat/Day Seattle.

Normally tAPC After Dark come right before an interview in place of an intro but Liana's chat is already 90 minutes long so this is gonna stand on its own. John DeGore and Anastatia Lanz, both designers and AIGA board members, have come over to talk about Pixels of Fury and some exciting new about the Creative Briefs podcast. Internet Links and Things!

Howdy! Today's chat is with John DeGore, the co-creator of Creative Briefs, a podcast featuring chats with “designers and other creative professionals”. We met through Amy Garbark who, after I asked if I could interview her, she exclaimed that she was in popular demand and produced John's business card. I didn't think I was the only game in town and so it was exciting to realize there was someone else investigating creativity in these parts. Ninety percent of the people I interview are sought out by me via a polite email and John was no different—except this time we did a trade of sorts. He had me over to chat about the AP Collection, (and bitch like the privileged fool I am about art school) before we sat down for our chat at my place. This allowed me to compare how we podcast and I definitely learned a lot. John was raised locally and traveled the world with the army, including a tour in Iraq. Afterwards, he attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and has built his design career in Pittsburgh. Currently he serves as secretary on the board for the local chapter of the AIGA. He is a cool dude and I look forward to what he does next. Enjoy our chat!
