Send Better Emails

This week on Send Better Emails Jamie and James are joined by Scott Hircombe, founder of Parameter, a social media agency that has worked with some big brands.

Scott shares why most e-commerce brands are getting organic social completely wrong, why chasing views is a vanity trap and why the brands that win on social stop trying to sell and start building communities that actually care.

He also gets into where AI genuinely helps with content creation, where it leads brands into a homogenised mess and why human judgment still cannot be replaced.

If you run or market an e-commerce brand and want to know what good organic social actually looks like in 2026, this is a great place to start.

This week on Send Better Emails Jamie and James are joined by Josh Fletcher, founder of Lifeblood, a creative led growth consultancy working with DTC and subscription brands turning over between three and thirty million.

Josh shares why most early stage brands make a critical mistake before they even launch their first ad: they skip the unit economics. He explains what you actually need to know about your margins, your customer lifetime value and your target CPA before you spend a single pound on Meta.

They also get into how AI has changed the role of paid media agencies, why static ads still beat video for early testing and how the relationship between paid and email can make or break your retention strategy.

If you run or market an ecommerce brand this one will change how you think about scaling.
