Description

A lot’s changed in the past 5 years, and we’re not just talking about the resurgence of those terrible bucket hats. 
America’s favorite EBITDADDY (and Nik) are back and talking about all the changes to things like Facebook creative targeting, affiliate marketing, and Shopify that you need to know about. Is it better to create one ad set with ten ads or one ad set with one ad? Will Shopify become obsolete thanks to TikTok shop? And is affiliate marketing dead?
Nutrabolt and Bloom Nutrition are out there being savage AF, but we have to take a second to ask WTF Athletic Greens is doing. Could they even compete in brick-and-mortar if they wanted to, especially considering Bloom just raised $90 million? How long can they sustain on Amazon before realizing manifest destiny is the way to go?  
 
Tune in for that—and more. 
 
 
Give customers more choice—and save your margins—with Postscript CashBack.
This is the better alternative to coupons.
 
Offer customers a CashBack option anywhere you use a coupon—popups, welcome series, or over SMS and email. When customers select a store gift card for their CashBack option, they return to purchase multiple times and spend more.
 
Postscript is the DTC darling of SMS for a reason—they’re in the biz of making brands more money–more efficiently. Learn more at postscript.io/limited

So many DTC brands think nice PR is more important than honesty. But that’s not us. We're Nik & Moiz, and we're tired of all the hot air in our industry. This podcast is the behind-the-scenes conversation that gets to the heart of what DTC is really like. Nik Sharma founded Sharma Brands, and Moiz Ali’s company Native was acquired by P&G for $100M. We have no reason not to call people out, and share our spicy takes. This is the conversation you won’t hear anywhere else, with two of the most experienced names in the industry. We’ll be diving deep into industry moves, autopsies on failed brands, and why we’re investing in certain companies. First episode drops soon with new episodes every Wednesday after that.
