Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Linear TV Outpaces Meta At Better ROAS
Q: What are the practical bets a brand should place for a successful intro to Linear TV, in terms of budget and time?
Nate asks about the 90-day horizon; Dana emphasizes having a cash buffer, starting small, and using early, data-driven learnings to guide scaling, with a focus on testing and leveraging regional networks first before broad rollout.
Linear TV Outpaces Meta At Better ROAS
Q: How does the logistics differ when running Linear TV campaigns versus Meta, and what should brands know about platform specifics?
Dana outlines that Tatari handles many steps differently from online platforms, including prepayment requirements and the need to work with broadcast networks; testing and using base creative from Meta helps maintain performance while navigating TV's cadence and approvals.
Linear TV Outpaces Meta At Better ROAS
Q: What sparked the decision to start Linear TV campaigns for Proof Wallets, and how did the early testing go?
Dana explains that testing began with a relatively small budget on local news TV and quickly showed legitimate sales, which justified expanding to national reach with Tatari and validating TV as a viable channel alongside existing Meta campaigns.
Fashion Meets Marketing
Q: How do you approach increasing perceived value in fashion-based brands?
Focus on distinguishing the product through packaging, materials, and a cohesive narrative that ties the product to a story customers want to be part of. Use bundles and limited presentations to imply higher value, measure long-term customer journeys, and ensure that every touchpoint reinforces the premium positioning rather than relying solely on price cuts or flashy ads.
How I Build Marketing Teams
Q: How do you implement systems of governance with your team without spending hours in one-on-ones?
We use EOS with ROCKs and weekly scorecard metrics, sometimes shortening ROCKs to three weeks and tying new metrics to those priorities so accountability stays focused and efficient.
