Austin Harrison is the CEO of Northbeam, the marketing analytics platform that measures over $31 billion in ad spend across the top DTC brands in the world. He doesn't see what works for one brand. He sees what works across the entire industry.
In this episode he breaks down:
- What the brands that explode do to grow this fast - The one metric most operators completely ignore (and why it predicts your next three months) - How small founders can beat big ad budgets with authentic content
If you run or want to build an e-commerce brand, this is the closest you'll get to seeing the whole game from above.
