Your abandoned cart email has an influencer problem... It's not using any. If the studio shot didn't convert on the product page, it likely won't convert in the inbox either. What DOES consistently convert across channels is social proof: real people, real context, real relatability. Influencer content is a full-funnel asset and your team can't sleep on the possibilities. Test it out yourself - Swap in 5-7 influencer images of the product in use and watch your CTR 📈

Your brand's best ad content is waiting in your mentions! We're all for strategic creative testing - but with Meta telling us that their ads algo is prioritizing quality over quantity, you want to be sure that what you're boosting not only looks original but also performs.
Marketing Move of the Week: before you greenlight a single piece of new creative, go look at your last 90 days of organic creator content and run the top performers as whitelisted ads / Partnership Ads. I know this sounds almost too obvious to count as a "tip" but I keep seeing teams skip it. They'll spend weeks scoping a new campaign, briefing creators, going through rounds of edits…meanwhile the post that did 4x their average engagement last month is just sitting there. Unboosted. Unwhitelisted. Doing nothing. Whitelisting your best organic creator content does a few things at once: It gives you paid creative that's already been audience-tested. It extends the life of work you've already paid for. It buys your team time to actually be thoughtful about the next round of net-new content instead of cranking it out under pressure. The creators win too. More reach, more visibility, often a small additional fee. Everyone leaves happy. If you do nothing else this week: pull your top 3 organic creator posts from the last quarter, get whitelisting permissions if you don't have them, and put a small test budget behind them.

When you're building for the future of the creator economy, having a seat at the table with the social media platforms themselves is pretty special. This week, our team was split across two events: TikTok World + TikTok Partner Summit in New York and the Meta Performance Marketing Summit in San Jose. While these events were focused on their own platforms, it was really validating to see some similar themes throughout. 💫 "81% of people follow creators for expertise, not fame" Both platforms were explicit: AI creative is a supplement to creator partnerships, not a replacement. 76% of Gen Z are open to brands via creators. More than 3 in 4 social media users prefer creator content over traditional ads. The trust signal creators bring is what makes the creative perform, and that trust is built on expertise, not follower count. 💫 "Last-touch attribution is missing up to 90% of creator credit" That's TikTok's own published data. Meta is pushing Brand Lift, Conversion Lift, and incrementality as the path forward. The infrastructure to credit creator-led work properly is being built right now, and that changes how the ROI conversation looks for every program running today. 💫 "70-80% of paid social performance comes from creative quality, not targeting or budget" Meta confirmed it. TikTok's data is consistent. The brands pulling ahead aren't the ones with the best hero video. They're the ones producing psychologically diverse creative across every product, audience segment, and placement. Volume without variety is what both platforms are now actively penalizing. When the same signals surface independently across the two biggest social platforms, we're taking notes! Measurement, creative scale, or finding the right creators who've built trust — which one is your team prioritizing right now?

This event was such a pleasure! We’ve built a platform that lives in the online world of influencer marketing but there is nothing quite like a room full of the people who make the magic happen IRL ✨
Six months in, and our partnership with Aspire has become something we didn’t plan, it became something we built. For those who don’t know, Aspire is the leading influencer and creator management platform for ecommerce brands. Our relationship with them has grown into something that goes well beyond a typical partnership. We’ve been in rooms together, building playbooks, connecting the right people, and figuring out what it actually looks like when two communities with shared values do something together. Last night was the clearest proof of that yet. Lots of laughs during influencer Bingo - god I forgot how fun Bingo is. Between all the laughs the conversations happening is what always moves me. Strategies being shared. Reccomendations flying across the room. I heard brands pitching influencer campaigns to each other. Founders workshopping ambassador programs in real time with people they’d just met. That’s the room we set out to build. Not a dinner with a logo slapped on it - a room where the right people find each other and leave with something they didn’t have when they walked in. That’s what Aspire gets about us and that’s why this partnership works.

Baby gear is one of the hardest categories to market. Parents don't impulse buy a car seat. They research for months. They ask other parents. They trust recommendations from people who've actually used the product — not ads. So when Graco launched a new car seat innovation, they built the campaign around that reality. Aspire's Agency Services team activated LA-based mom creators for an exclusive event at the Babylist Showroom. No scripts. No forced talking points. Just the right people, in the right room, with a product worth talking about. The numbers: 📍 12.5M reach 📣 597K organic impressions 🎥 High-volume authentic content — all from one afternoon What made it work: ✅ Creator fit over follower count — Aspire sourced creators whose audiences were already in the market for exactly this product. 📊 Real-time visibility — Every piece of content tracked across channels, so the team always knew what was live and how it was performing. 📈 Provable ROI — Aspire's Impact Dashboard tied creator content directly to reach, impressions, and awareness value. When the relationship between brand and creator is built on genuine fit, the content shows it. And in a category built on trust, that's everything.

Our team has grown! A big welcome to Sahand Barati ✨
I'm thrilled to share that I've officially joined Aspire as VP of Operations. Stepping away from Tapcart wasn't easy. Building and leading the Customer Success function there for 6.5 years gave me lifelong friendships, hard-earned lessons, and memories I'll carry with me forever. To every teammate, customer, and partner I worked with along the way — thank you. But when the right opportunity comes along, you know it. Aspire sits at the center of one of the most exciting categories in marketing today — the creator and influencer economy — and the chance to step into a VP of Operations role and help shape how this business scales is one I couldn't pass up. New function, new industry, new challenge. I'm here for all of it. A huge thank you to Anand Kishore for believing in me and trusting me to take this on. Can't wait to build something great together. I'm also genuinely pumped to be reunited with my former Tapcart colleague Jacob Clarke and to work alongside the rest of the leadership team. The talent, vision, and energy here are something else. Onward. 🚀
