Episode notes
Licensing A Designer's Shark
- Davie licensed a cute shark design by contacting a Korean designer with no formal licensing setup.
- They secured the design because they wanted the emotional connection badly enough to negotiate directly.
Let Ads Target Broadly
- Run broad Advantage Plus/CBO campaigns with top creatives and let the algorithm find audiences.
- Use a separate broad testing campaign for 3–5 new creatives before adding winners to the main scaling campaign.
Keep Your Pixel Control
- Never give an agency permanent control of your ad account or pixel; retain ownership and access.
- Keep accountability: losing pixel data hands the agency leverage and can wreck performance when relationships end.
