What do you do when your ROAS starts looking great, but your growth stalls?

Preston Rutherford, co-founder of Chubbies and founder of Marathon, joins Destaney to talk about one of the biggest challenges performance marketers face: knowing when it’s time to shift from pure demand capture to true demand creation.

In this episode, Preston shares the real story behind how Chubbies scaled, where ROAS started to break down, and why building a brand that people remember is more important than ever, especially in a world where AI, Amazon, and TikTok are changing how people discover and decide.

We cover:

• Why ROAS became a crutch (and how to break the addiction)
• How to think like a CFO without losing creative soul
• Brand search volume, incrementality, and blended CAC
• The role of shortcuts in AI-driven discovery
• Why great creative wins in a commoditized world
• Preston’s playbook for brands ready to scale sustainably

Amazon has given brands a serious upgrade when it comes to ad tools and data. But turning that access into strategy takes more than dashboards.

In this episode, Destaney and Joe Shelerud, CEO and Co-Founder of AdAdvance break down how to use AMC to better understand customer behavior, justify budgets, and connect upper and lower funnel efforts.

Key Topics Covered:

• How Amazon is democratizing insights and creative tools for both small and enterprise brands
• The real value of AMC and not just for data, but for action
• Path to purchase, time to conversion, and ad type overlap to guide your decisions
• Building audience-first strategies with AMC Audiences, even within Sponsored Ads
• The risk of viewing ad types in silos (and how to connect the funnel)
• A layered approach: starting with foundations, then building up through audience, analytics, and finally custom queries
• Frameworks for helping brands prioritize what to do next, not just chase new features
• Destaney and Joe’s complementary POVs: analytics vs actionability, data vs gut
