Where Premium Brands Come To Grow
We’re in that strange, liminal week between Christmas and New Year. The turkey’s been eaten, the presents have been opened, and there’s this quiet space before the new year kicks off. It’s a natural time for reflection as well as for looking ahead. I know many of you are ambitious and have big goals you […]
It’s Christmas week. The orders have shipped – or at least, most of them have. The mad rush is behind you. And hopefully, you’re either on a beach somewhere or at least within striking distance of a cold drink and a good book. So today’s episode is a little different. This isn’t a tactical deep-dive. […]
Right now, you’ve got about a week to prepare for what could genuinely be one of the most profitable – and least stressful – marketing periods of your entire year. Now, I know what you might be thinking. “Cath, I’m exhausted. I’ve just pushed through the Christmas rush. The last thing I want to […]
We’re in the first week of December now. Which means you’ve got roughly 14 days of meaningful marketing time before most of your customers mentally check out for the holidays — and before your shipping cut-off dates make the whole thing a bit irrelevant anyway. Now, I know what you might be feeling right now. […]
Most ecommerce brands that are struggling to grow right now are stuck because they’re making one critical error. They don’t have the right overarching growth strategy in place. And I know what you’re thinking – “But I’m doing marketing! I’m sending emails, posting on social media, running ads, maybe even working on SEO.” Yes. You’re […]
Can we talk about the elephant in the room? You know the one. It’s that nagging feeling every time you open Instagram or check your ads manager. The constant, relentless need to produce fresh creative content – photography, videos, graphics, captions – when none of that is actually your core skill set. You got into […]
I know exactly where you’re at right now. We’re in the thick of Black Friday promos – or as I like to call it, the ‘beautiful chaos’ portion of the retail calendar. Your ads are running, your inbox is overflowing, your inventory is moving, and you’re probably surviving on caffeine and pure adrenaline. I […]
Look, I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve spent something like 25 years helping business owners scale their companies through mastering their marketing. I’ve seen brands go from kitchen table operations to seven-figure powerhouses. I’ve also seen brilliant products and passionate founders crash and burn. And after all that time, I can tell you […]
A few years back, a 13-year-old kid from Oklahoma became the first person to ever beat Tetris. The game launched in 1985. For nearly four decades, reaching the end was considered impossible – a myth. Then Willis Gibson hit level 157, scored 999,999 points, and triggered the “kill screen” where the game simply crashes because […]
If you run the kind of premium brand that either does not participate in Black Friday, or does so differently to the mass-market brands running huge discount promos and turning Black Friday into Black Month….
