In the podcast today, I’m sitting down with Luke, founder and CEO of EcoD2C, a digital marketing agency focused on helping natural product brands launch and scale on Amazon. You can watch the presentation too on YouTube here.

Luke shares the latest tools Amazon has rolled out which allow brands to engage customers more directly—and even email them! This is a big shift, especially with Amazon’s usual “black box” approach to customer data. 

We’ll dive into how specific strategies, like targeted promotions and coupons, can drive customer loyalty and boost holiday sales. If you’re looking to maximize your Amazon performance this season, you won’t want to miss Luke's expert advice!

A CEO is first and foremost a manager of people. Most entrepreneurs don't actually want this role, but nevertheless, it is necessary, even if it is a team of one (yourself). Many founders I work with start businesses to be in charge and escape a bad boss or poor work environment, but fail to intentionally set up a positive culture. They develop some poor habits, like overworking and not celebrating wins,  that are hard to break later with a team. 

A true CEO embraces this opportunity to set up a great culture when it is JUST them and works on him or herself to become the boss she or he wants to be when there is a team around them. On the podcast, I share with you why culture is so important and some resources to use as you put on your CEO hat to create the culture you desire.
