The costly lesson of mismanaged agency relationships can create quite the hit to your brand. Mike shares a raw account of how trusting an Amazon management agency without proper oversight created a perfect storm of inventory problems that coincided with tariff changes—a mistake that will have a significant cost.Drawing from both perspectives—Mike as a brand owner who experienced the setback firsthand, and Jon as an agency owner who helps brands navigate Amazon—this conversation delivers crucial insights for anyone considering outsourcing their Amazon operations. The hosts dissect where things went wrong, revealing that the fundamental issue wasn't necessarily the agency itself, but rather the brand's approach of "abdication instead of delegation."The episode introduces a powerful framework for evaluating agency performance: measuring inputs before outputs. During the first 2-3 months of an agency relationship, brands should focus on concrete actions being taken rather than final results. This means tracking whether promised campaign structures are being implemented, listing refreshes are being completed, and proper keyword segmentation is occurring. Only after this foundation is established should the focus shift to performance metrics.Beyond tactical advice, the conversation challenges conventional wisdom about KPI selection. Why focusing solely on ACOS or ROAS can be misleading, as these metrics can be easily manipulated. Instead, they advocate for broader measures like TACOS (Total Advertising Cost of Sale) and contribution margin metrics that better reflect true business performance. Discover practical guidance on agency vetting, including interviewing multiple candidates, meeting the actual account manager who'll handle your business, and setting realistic timeframes for evaluation.Whether you're considering hiring your first Amazon agency or looking to improve an existing partnership, this episode offers an invaluable perspective from those who've experienced both sides of the relationship. Avoid the costly mistakes that even experienced brands can make when navigating the complex world of Amazon management.

The Performance Marketing Association (PMA) released its third triennial affiliate marketing survey, revealing a booming industry. Data from eight networks, 53 publishers, and over 20,000 brands showed ad spend skyrocketing from $6 billion to $13.63 billion (a 14.42% CAGR), exceeding e-commerce growth and contributing 10% to overall US e-commerce revenue. While cashback and coupon sites remain significant, their market share decreased, likely due to the rise of card-linked offers and buy now, pay later options. These, along with influencer marketing, fueled growth, though the overall increase in market size means some sectors saw proportional decreases in share. The survey also highlighted growth in less directly correlated sectors like finance and telecom, and a slight decrease in ROAS (from 12:1 to 11:1), potentially due to a shift towards top-of-funnel traffic.

Here's a tough pill to swallow — chasing a high ROAS might actually be costing you growth and customers.Over the last few months, we've been deep in the weeds with brands trying to “beat” their ROAS targets, only to realize they're leaving massive opportunities on the table by focusing on the wrong metric.In this episode, we're tearing down the myth that higher ROAS is always better. Instead, we show why the smartest brands are going after the lowest sustainable new customer ROAS to dominate ad auctions, outbid competitors, and drive real profitability.This isn't guesswork. We share real client examples where dialing down the ROAS target, backed by strong retention and lifetime value, created insane competitive advantages.Ready to rethink your ROAS strategy and win the auction?

This week we're joined by Nate Moran, Senior Director of Growth, Digital Strategy & Analytics at Edgewell Personal Care—the company behind brands like Schick, Banana Boat, Wet Ones, and more. With a career spanning Red Bull, Newell, Unilever, and now Edgewell, Nate brings a sharp perspective on what it takes to turn data into decisions and insights into impact.In this conversation, Nate and host Dave Feinleib explore the evolving relationship between analytics, creative, performance marketing, and AI. They dig into how Nate and his team think about data strategy, omnichannel planning, and the question on every marketer's mind: where should we spend the next dollar?If you're navigating retail media, e-commerce, or digital growth today, this episode offers a smart, candid look at the challenges—and opportunities—of scaling modern brand performance.Key Takeaways & Episode HighlightsWhy profitability, performance, and category management need to work together in an omnichannel world—and how Edgewell ties these functions across the business.What “the next best dollar” means at Edgewell, and how the team balances incrementality, ROAS, and long-term brand health.Lessons from managing 30,000+ SKUs at Amazon (before APIs made it easy) and how those scrappy skills still apply today.The role of a clear, focused data strategy—and why owning your data is critical for AI readiness and true self-serve analytics.How AI and generative tools like ChatGPT and Snowflake are reshaping workflows, and why agentic AI might be the real unlock for the future.Why creative still matters: performance spend alone won't build trust or brand love—and how to balance emotional storytelling with analytics-driven media.Rapid Rundown QuestionsFavorite Edgewell product: Jack Black Dual Defense SPF MoisturizerBrand that's nailing it creatively: Liquid DeathGo-to tech tools: ChatGPT and SnowflakeFavorite read/listen: The Long and the Short of It by Les Binet and Peter FieldFavorite way to recharge: Mountain biking and snowboarding in Bend, OregonConnect with Nate: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanmoran/Get the It'sRapid Creative Automation Playbook: https://itsrapid.ai/creative-workflow-automation-playbook/Take It'sRapid's Creative Workflow Automation with AI survey: https://www.proprofs.com/survey/t/?title=ffgvdEmail us at sales@rapidads.io with code “BEYOND2025” to find out how you can save more than $1,000 on our Digital Sell Sheets and Retail Media Automation solutionsTheme music: "Happy" by Mixaud - https://mixaund.bandcamp.comProducer: Jake Musiker
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.
In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Greenfield, CEO of Provalytics, to explore how AI is transforming marketing attribution in a privacy-first world.

Learn how accurate attribution tracking transforms marketing results Look, let's face it - guesswork is the cancer of all business. As I always tell my clients at Predictable Profits, you need to eliminate that guesswork with proper data. That's why I invited Michael Cooney, co-founder of WhatConverts, onto the podcast. I've had multiple agency clients rave about this tool that's helping them generate better results and higher ROAS for their clients. We dive deep into why native conversion pixels from Meta or Google fall short, how to properly value different types of leads, and why understanding the complete customer journey is critical for making smart marketing decisions. My guest today, Michael Cooney, built WhatConverts after running his own agency for over 20 years. He experienced firsthand the frustration of trying to prove marketing ROI to skeptical clients who couldn't see the full picture. When a client once said to him, "These leads seem like they're from existing customers, not marketing," Michael realized he needed a better solution - a truth-seeking tool that would reveal exactly which marketing efforts were driving valuable conversions. That's when WhatConverts was born, and it's now tracking over 4 million leads per month across industries. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The limitations of standard conversion tracking How dynamic number insertion works The complexity of modern buyer journeys Issues with standard cookie windows The importance of data-driven decision making WhatConverts' six-step process Proper troubleshooting for underperforming campaigns Value-based pricing for marketers Links: LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcooney/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/mc_cooney Email:michael.cooney@whatconverts.com Company Website:https://www.whatconverts.com/ Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be.
