The discussion offers practical advice for integrating creator partnerships into a broader DTC strategy.

In the 30 days leading up to me recording this episode, my team made 2,358 still image ads and 1,063 video ads for my 5 clients.
That's a level of output we've been building towards for a long time, and in this episode I'm breaking down why and how we build so much creative, what I'm learning about the process, and how I intend to keep making it better (in both quality and quantity).
