Overview

How we run Ecommerce & DTC.

DTC in LA is a specific game. The city has more Shopify Plus brands per zip code than almost any US metro, which means the creative bar is high and CAC drifts up every quarter. Winning brands are the ones running paid, organic, marketplace, and creative as one program — not four.

We run the full DTC stack: Meta, TikTok, and Google Ads on paid; SEO and lifecycle on organic; Amazon on marketplace; and full-funnel CRO on the site itself. Weekly creative comes out of CRTE Studio — Meta, TikTok, and PDP hero shots produced in the same shoot.

Reporting is MER-first, not platform-ROAS-first. We tie ad spend to blended new-customer margin so growth decisions aren't made on the last-click fiction Meta and Google both sell.

Ecommerce & DTC FAQ.

Meta and TikTok for scale, Google Ads for high-intent capture, Amazon where the brand rules allow, and MER-first reporting so growth decisions don't get made on last-click fiction. LA CAC is high — creative volume and reporting truth are the wedge.
