Ex-Amazon insider Kara Babb shares how to use social media, branding, and AI to build unforgettable brands and drive real emotional connections with customers. Kara Babb, a former Amazon vendor manager, joins us to unravel the complexities of branding in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape. Drawing from her rich experience, Kara emphasizes the necessity of an omnichannel strategy, highlighting how sustainable brand success relies heavily on building a presence both on and off Amazon. She shares her insights on the significance of external traffic and creative brand awareness campaigns, with compelling examples like Poppy and BirdBuddy, to show how they can create sales surges and foster growth in the competitive market. Our exploration takes a fascinating turn as we examine BirdBuddy's innovative use of TikTok to capture the millennial and Gen Z audience, uncovering how creative content strategies can lead to explosive viral success. We discuss the hurdles platforms like Amazon face in the realm of social media, and the cultural barriers that live shopping encounters in the West compared to its success in Asia.

The conversation moves toward the frontier of AI in shopping, where we discuss how platforms like TikTok and AI models are reshaping consumer search behaviors.
