SKILL CONTENT

Primary Buyer

E-commerce founders and marketing leads at DTC brands doing $1M-$20M in annual revenue.

They care about:

  • Lowering customer acquisition cost (CAC)
  • Improving return on ad spend across Meta and Google
  • Scaling without hiring more people
  • Understanding which creatives and audiences actually drive revenue

Their pain points:

  • Meta Ads costs keep rising with no clear optimization path
  • Can't connect ad spend to actual LTV
  • Spending hours pulling data from Shopify, Meta, Google, and spreadsheets
  • Agency promised results but just runs the same playbook for everyone

Secondary Audience

Marketing freelancers and small agencies managing 5-20 DTC brands. They need speed and cross-account visibility.

Messaging Rules

  • Lead with revenue impact, not features
  • Use specific numbers: "cut CPA by 30%" not "improve efficiency"
  • Reference the tools they already use: Shopify, Klaviyo, Meta Ads, Google Ads
  • Avoid B2B jargon. These are consumer-brand people. Keep it practical.

Exclusions

  • Enterprise retail (different buying process)
  • Marketplace-only sellers (Amazon FBA) - different optimization levers
  • Pre-revenue brands - not enough data to work with
