Our President, Luke Austin, just got back from a 3-day fishing trip in Sitka, Alaska: 90 lbs of salmon, halibut, and black cod, with orcas circling the boat the whole time. But the real story is what it taught him about growing ecommerce brands.

In this episode, he breaks down the three things that have to be true for any ecommerce brand to know if it’s actually winning: a single reliable source of truth for your data, a shared definition of success across your team, and relentless execution against the plan. It’s the same framework CTC uses with every brand we partner with, and the standard we just recommitted to internally for H2.

In this episode, we cover: 

• Why most ecommerce brands can’t clearly answer if they’re winning or losing

• Building a single source of truth for your financial, marketing, and order data

• Why a shared definition of success matters more than more dashboards

• How contribution margin and daily targets keep teams aligned

• What relentless execution actually looks like: ad plans, email plans, creative testing, MMM, and incrementality

• Why brands skip straight to execution, and what it costs them
