Episode Description

Revenue rising, profit shrinking? Your Shopify brand may have a profitability problem disguised as a growth problem.

In this episode, Ben Dyer, Head of Growth at Webtopia — managing $100M+ in ad spend for D2C brands — breaks down:

  • Why ROAS is a vanity metric — and what contribution margin and CAC actually reveal about true business health
  • How one haircare brand cut branded search waste, shifted to non-brand targeting, and drove 74% revenue growth
  • The content-led Meta strategy (post-Andromeda) that lowers CPM and builds buyer personas that convert at scale

Whether you're doing $10K months or $10M years, this conversation delivers strategies you can test this week.
