Every satisfied customer creates demand you never see. It spills across Meta, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and your DTC site, and most brands have no system for tracking it, let alone capturing it.

In this episode, Luke Austin introduces the ecommerce Demand Cascade: a framework for understanding how demand flows across media channels and sales channels, and why optimizing just one leaves money everywhere else.

We cover:

• The two pillars of the Demand Cascade: media channels vs. sales/distribution channels

• Why Meta's 120% incrementality factor is just the starting point

• How 20-50% of demand created on DTC spills over to Amazon

• TikTok Shop as a demand creation engine, not just a sales channel

• The creator-driven growth mechanism fueling TikTok Shop

• Why brands throttle growth by ignoring cross-channel halo effects

• CTC's new TikTok Shop service offering

Stop optimizing channels in isolation. Start capturing the full cascade.
