Influencer Corner 📣

Sam Carter on LinkedIn: I've witnessed firsthand the struggle brands face in understanding ad spend impact, especially across channels like Amazon.

It comes down to 1 core issue.

It's simply not possible with user-level attribution for brands to track what's going on in Amazon.

This leads to challenges in understanding the halo effect of top-of-funnel ads (on e.g. Youtube, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat) on Amazon sales, and comparing the ROI of Amazon Ads to other platforms.

Barry Hott on LinkedIn: Stop overthinking your ads!

Too many marketers obsess over finding that “one magic element” that makes an ad work.

While compelling storytelling matters (it absolutely does), success often comes down to unexpected factors you can’t predict:

• A random detail in the frame
• The comment section taking off
• Something you only notice AFTER the ad goes viral

Jessie Healy on LinkedIn: Is bad product page copy blocking your customers from buying?

Spoiler alert - it probably is (I see it in 80% of pages I look at).
