Robert Cardiff is the co-founder and COO of Laundry Sauce, an 8-figure DTC brand reinventing the way consumers experience laundry. With a background in venture building and performance marketing, Robert helps Ecommerce brands unlock growth by identifying white space, building high-affinity products, and scaling through bold creative bets.Before launching Laundry Sauce, Robert founded multiple consumer businesses and now leads Give Ventures, a nonprofit teaching entrepreneurship to underserved youth in Central and South America. His work spans brand development, manufacturing operations, investor storytelling, and go-to-market execution—giving him rare end-to-end insight into what it takes to launch premium products in commoditized categories.In 2021, Robert and his co-founders made a $40,000 investment in a single anchor video—before making a single sale. That video helped legitimize their vision and raise millions in capital, setting the stage for their early DTC success. By skipping Amazon, obsessing over product-market fit, and treating customer feedback as gospel, Robert and his team built a brand people actually love in a category no one cared about.In This Conversation We Discuss: [00:39] Intro[01:22] Positioning beyond generic options[02:18] Differentiating in legacy categories[04:05] Asking why they'd buy your product[07:04] Iterating through multiple brands[08:45] Episode Sponsors: StoreTester and Intelligems[11:57] Partnering with top creatives[13:18] Launching with paid media first[15:33] Hiring experts for each channel[17:21] Growing with mostly organic traffic[18:10] Getting DTC focus right first[20:05] Surveying customers to guide R&DWant more insights from top Ecommerce leaders?
