With the upcoming changes in the media buying landscape, many brands are adapting their strategies and considering alternatives. One such alternative is Amazon Demand Side Platform (DSP). It is practically unscathed by the upcoming changes as almost all of its data is first party.

We’ve all shopped on Amazon, some more than others. This has made it a trusted choice for people the world over. Just to put things in perspective, upto 60% of product searches in the UK BEGIN on Amazon. That’s a lot of data with a fair amount of segmentation built in. But should DTC brands jump on the bandwagon?

In this episode, Kunle and Kimberly talk about all things Amazon DSP. You will get to hear about how the platform is structured, how the segmentation works, the media buying process and how DTC brands can get in on it . This is a great episode for marketers and business owners alike!

On today’s episode, Ali Rose, Co-Founder & CEO of Genusee, a sustainable and economic eyewear brand and eyeglass frame manufacturer.

Ali Rose worked for a body-positive brand in New York City, designing clothes for women. It was a dream come true until she found out how the fashion industry is slowly killing our planet. Wanting to use fashion for good, she went to India and volunteered in an NGO helping domestically-abused women. Come Christmas 2015 and a water crisis in Michigan, she realized that making an impact doesn’t need the right place but the right way of doing things that benefits not only one, but all.

Ali Rose had a total turnaround from being a designer of fast fashion to becoming a certified B Corp and named as 1 of 56 brands changing the face of American fashion by Vogue. From its suppliers to the board of directors and employees, Genusee reaches out to women, at-risk youth, formerly incarcerated people, homeless individuals and people from minority groups. With the impact of Genusee’s product to the environment and to its community, Genusee is leaving no stone unturned.

It’s a compelling episode as you’d hear Ali Rose talk more about the impact of fast fashion on our planet, building a business that is good for humans and the environment alike, what a B Corp is and what it stands for, how Genusee set up its company to qualify as a B Corp, and concrete plans and steps to implementing a social and environment-friendly changes to your own organization.

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Michael Vadini, Founder & CEO of Glew.io - an eCommerce Analytics and Business Intelligence platform founded in 2014. Glew makes it easy to analyse key data points and make decisions that positively impact your bottom line.

Almost every interaction of an online business generates a data point. It is also possible to get your hands on all this data. You are looking at data from your products, traffic, ads, social media, cart, blogs and accounting apps to name a few. It is said that the average online business has no fewer than 26 sources of data. Even for a seasoned data analyst, getting actionable insights from such disparate data is no easy task. As a result, (too) many businesses don’t leverage the data they have to make more informed decisions.

Almost every business owner or marketer knows of terms like Average Order Value (AOV), Lifetime Value (LTV) and Cost of Acquisition (CAC). These are the buzzwords that dictate business strategy and ultimately success or failure. Getting accurate reports on these metrics is easier said than done. This is where platforms like Glew come in. With over 95 integrations (and counting), you can harness the power of all your data and boost profitability of your business.

In today’s episode Kunle and Michael discuss the evolution of Glew and how it helps businesses solve the riddle of their data. This is a great episode for businesses of all sizes!
