Marketing can't force people to buy what they don't need. According to Dale Harrison, 65-90% of market share within a category is determined by brand recall at purchase.This week, Elena and Rob are joined by Dale Harrison, former experimental physicist turned marketing effectiveness expert. Dale breaks down the NBD-Dirichlet model that governs consumer behavior, explains why most growth stories have nothing to do with brilliant marketing, and reveals why reach (not targeting) drives market share. Plus, learn about the mathematical reality behind brand loyalty and why your job as a marketer is to make subtle nudges, not force outcomes.Topics covered: [04:00] Marketing as hacking brains, not forcing behavior [13:00] The NBD-Dirichlet model explained through consumer purchase patterns [22:00] Why brand loyalty is actually polyamorous repertoire buying [26:00] Two ways brands grow: organic category growth vs. market share theft [38:00] Effective CPM vs. total CPM and the targeting efficiency trap [42:00] Share of voice correlation to market share success To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.

Itaconix PLC CEO John Shaw talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's record performance in the first half of 2025, with revenues rising 73% year-on-year. Shaw detailed the company's progress across its three core business areas and highlighted Itaconix's positioning as a specialty ingredients company with growing momentum. In the Performance Ingredients segment, revenue doubled in Europe, bolstered by recurring orders from major customers. North American sales also diversified, supported by purpose-driven brands. The company also extended its supply agreement with Croda, strengthening its position in the odour neutralisation segment. Discussing SPARX formulated solutions, Shaw noted new collaborations with North American brands in the laundry and automatic dish detergent markets, specifically through innovations in detergent tablets linked to the company's partnership with Bonals. A significant development came with the launch of the BIO*Asterix e-commerce platform, initiating sales of plant-based building blocks for research purposes. “We started Itaconix's growth journey in specialty plant-based building blocks with the launch of our BIO*Asterix e-commerce site,” Shaw said. Despite a volatile trading environment, Shaw said raw material supplies and profitability remained steady. Looking ahead, the company is building inventory and improving production efficiency in anticipation of future demand, while also exploring options for its long-term production footprint.

Spotify's (SPOT) earnings Tuesday morning will be one closely watched by investors, says CFRA's Ken Leon. While he says its only competition in terms of market share is "maybe YouTube," the stock's massive run higher may be stopped by ballooning valuation. He has a hold rating on Spotify.

MJ Gottlieb (Loosid App) Interview – 361Firm's 4th Newport July 2025 SUMMARY KEYWORDS. AI, sobriety, addiction mentor, sober dating, market share, addiction statistics, brand equity, sober shop, Loosid marketplace, non-alcoholic beverages, social impact, investment, relapse prediction, treatment centers, funding round.SPEAKERS MJ GottliebMJ Gottlieb 00:00My name is MJ Gottlieb, co founder and CEO of Loosid App. So we are now in Newport, Rhode Island, at the 361 conference. Fantastic conference, very let's see. I thought it was a very powerful I've been to a lot of these. I think it was a particularly powerful discussion that we had around AI and AI ability to help AI's ability to also hurt, depending upon whose hands it's in, right? Another very interesting discussion, a lot of people are using AI to fluff up their valuations, and not really they're doing a disservice to the really the power of this next generation of machine learning, right? And so, like in our case, our newest technology, Sam, which stands for sobriety, addiction mentor is now layered with AI. AWS is now funding Sam AI and really showing how the more information you give it, the better and better it then can really be a predictive relapse agent for that individual. Basically the Sam has the ability, as it lays on 1% per user persona and another user persona, it starts building a predictive relapse agent that then can be modeled for government bodies, treatment centers, for outcomes and measures. And so it's very powerful when it comes to really the ability of AI in the right van sober dating. We are the number one company in the sober dating space. We do own that position right now, and so we're here at this conference just just secured an external funding round, and now looking to fund the next phase of our growth. But yeah, right now, as it stands from our sober dating community, which is about 180,000 members, we do have the top position with regard to you know that, however, that leading position only represents less than 1% of the market share. And so the question it becomes, how effectively and quickly can you scale and move into the full market share? Because if you look at the statistics of addiction, 300 million people suffering from an alcohol use disorder worldwide, 38% of adult Americans suffering from some illicit substance use disorder, and upwards of 30% of American adults are actually choosing not to drink. And so how can we put them together in a safe and supportive environment to really show them how to live a sober life? And so now, as we continue to build our brand equity, we find ourselves in now seven different verticals we recently we recently launched the Loosid sober shop as an LTV strategy where people can buy merch, whether it's a hoodie, a hat or whatever it may be to really have them take ownership of their sobriety. But from the investment lens, it adds about 135 to $140 lifetime value per the Loosid member in q4 we also launched the Loosid marketplace, where we partner with 37 brands in the sobriety and wellness space. Think of it as a sober group, con, if you will, where we pre negotiated those discounts to Loosid members that they wouldn't otherwise know about or be able to take advantage of. And so it acts as a retention strategy, because even if someone doesn't doesn't want to use Loosid dating anymore, they find the love of their life, they could simply toggle off dating and still take advantage of 1000s of dollars throughout the year in some of our partners, like better help, or brain tap, which is the top brain fitness app in the world, or various non alcoholic beverage brands. And it's really about showing people how to live a fun, safe and enjoyable life in sobriety. Yeah. Well, as we continue to build our brand equity, the goal is for Loosid to be synonymous with sobriety. So when you walk into a restaurant, we don't want people asking, you know, where the the non alcoholic beverage menu is. We want them asking where the Loosid menu is. When we are looking at stadiums, we want people not to have a sober section. We want them to have a Loosid section where, where even mothers can take their kids and know that that there, there won't be that crazy rowdiness, because you're in a Loosid section. And so as we look five and 10 years down the down the road, we're that's really where we're. Looking to go where Loosid is synonymous with sobriety. We now have five of our non alcoholic beverage brands that wants to make a Loosid drink, which we'll then use as a B to C and A B to B initiative and roll that out. The non alcoholic beverage market surpassed 12 150 $2 billion last year, and so as we put ourselves into new verticals, it gives us the ability to kind of leverage and accelerate our brand equity. And who knows, in the future, maybe we run the whole table and then take it public from it, from the standpoint of, if you're struggling and don't know, of a sober resource, we recommend downloading any one of the Loosid sober platforms, whether it be Loosid sober community, Loosid sober dating, but from an investment side, if you're interested in taking advantage of a social impact opportunity, where the more people we help, the better and better we increase shareholder value. And so we're very uniquely positioned in that regard, that the more people we help, the greater and greater you know our company value. So if you're someone that that's that's interested in that opportunity, we welcome to reach out to our office, and we're happy to talk.

video: https://youtu.be/ucGrNLdsql0 Comment on the TWIL Forum (https://thisweekinlinux.com/forum) This week in Linux, we've got a bit of bad news from Intel as they abruptly ended Clear Linux out of no where and Arch Linux warned users that malware was found in the AUR. It's not all bad this week though because Wayback is back on the show with the first preview release for keeping X11 desktops alive in our future Wayland powered world. Plus according to one source, Linux usage is even higher than we already thought it was. A couple of episodes ago I reported that we broke the 5% threshold on the US desktop market based on StatCounter data but according to one source it's already climbed passed 6%. What source you ask? The analytics of U.S. federal government websites. Speaking of governments, GitHub is trying to get EU lawmakers to scale Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund into a EU wide program to fund critical open‑source projects. Also for some more good news, we're so close to hitting 100,000 subscribers on the channel, if you want to help please consider subscribing.

In this special edition episode, Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis address the unprecedented challenges facing retailers with Steve's "10 Tantalizing Tips for Tumultuous Times." Steve rates current market turbulence at a 9 out of 10, comparing it to COVID-era disruption but noting the added complexity of legal uncertainties around tariff policies.The news segment covers significant retail developments, starting with ongoing tariff turmoil. A U.S. court ruled Trump's tariff policies illegal, creating additional uncertainty for retailers already struggling with implementation. Steve explains how this legal challenge, combined with the administration's failure to secure the promised "90 deals in 90 days," has intensified market turbulence.Earnings season revealed stark contrasts in retail performance. While Abercrombie & Fitch, Costco, and Dick's Sporting Goods posted strong results, Target's struggles were particularly alarming—down nearly 4% compared to Walmart's 4-5% growth, highlighting a major and continuing performance gap between direct competitors. Department stores including Macy's, Dillards, and Kohl's continued their downward trajectory, with most posting negative comps. The episode also covers Hudson's Bay Company's final closure in Canada, with Canadian Tire acquiring the historic brand's IP for $30 million.The second segment focuses on ten essential tactics for survival and growth. The first foundational tips emphasize radical commitment to reality and transparency, urging retailers to honestly assess their situation and act accordingly. Steve advocates for embracing uncertainty and building agility into operations, followed by maintaining innovation through continuous testing despite budget pressures.Customer-focused strategies include choosing your passionate core of fans (inspired by Seth Godin's work), being human-centered while digitally enabled, and prioritizing storytelling over purely functional benefits. Steve emphasizes that people buy a brand's story before they buy the product.Strategic excellence tips include "editing to amplify"—narrowing customer and offering focus to boost signal amid market noise—and conducting comprehensive friction audits of the customer journey. The hosts stress distinguishing between table stakes (necessary but non-differentiating capabilities) and true differentiators that create competitive advantage.The final tip, "cash is king," proves particularly relevant given tariff impacts on cash flow. Throughout the discussion, the hosts acknowledge that guidance must be tailored to individual circumstances—strategies for Walmart differ significantly from those needed by smaller specialty retailers. The episode serves as both a reality check and practical roadmap for retailers navigating what Steve describes as an era of unprecedented uncertainty, volatility, and competitive pressure where strong players are aggressively pursuing market share opportunities.

It was Friday the 13th in March of 2020, and Steven Miller was staring at a suddenly irrelevant budget. Hours earlier Warby Parker had shuttered every one of its 280 stores to protect employees and customers. “Remember that plan we just approved?” he asked the leadership team. “Forget it.” In its place he introduced PAR—Pause, Adjust, Redeploy—a framework that let finance review cash daily, pivot marketing dollars to booming e-commerce, and preserve innovation spend while the world locked down. The episode crystallized Miller's philosophy: data guides decisions, but agility preserves advantage.Raised as a strategy consultant at Monitor Company, Miller learned early to hunt for competitive leverage. A New York City Urban Fellows stint deepened that lesson when a commissioner advised him to “read the budget if you want to know a society's values.” The line sent him chasing the intersection of money and mission—from Flatiron's venture trenches to Majestic Research, where the 2008 crisis forced layoffs and, ultimately, a sale to ITG that began with his cold call. Warby Parker appealed because it made a tangible product and pledged social impact.Miller joined when the firm had 20 employees and no stores; today it approaches 4,000 people and, he tells us, opens “40-plus new locations a year.” Eight capital raises and a 2021 direct listing later, his remit is constant: align capital with purpose. By measuring four-wall EBITDA, inventory turns, and cost lines against revenue, Miller ensures every dollar advances a simple mission—help more people see clearly around the world daily.

A study from Les Binet and Peter Field found that for every 10-point increase in excess share of voice, brands see around a 0.5% annual market share growth on average. But does this marketing principle still hold true in today's fragmented media landscape?This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob are joined by VP of Strategy Dan Cleveland to explore excess share of voice (ESOV) and its enduring relevance. They dive into how ESOV correlates with growth, why it's still a valuable planning tool, and what happens when brands let their share of voice slip below market share. Plus, discover why TV remains crucial for building the top-of-funnel awareness that drives long-term brand performance.Topics covered: [01:00] The history of share of voice and why it matters[03:30] How excess share of voice links to market share growth[08:00] When ESOV doesn't work (and what that reveals)[12:30] Using share of search as a real-time metric[16:00] Why top-of-funnel channels drive brand awareness[21:00] The risks of underspending compared to your share of market[27:00] Practical steps to apply ESOV to your strategy To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.
