Episode #070 - In this episode, Destaney is joined by Matt Zielinski, VP of Digital Strategy at H&H Group, to discuss how platforms such as Amazon and Walmart have shaped the evolution of the e-commerce landscape, and how to pair digital analytics with strategic planning to foster an engaging consumer experience. Matt also shares his journey from traditional brand marketing into the digital realm, emphasizing the necessity for convergence between brand building and performance marketing to drive sustainable growth in a highly competitive market.

A glimpse into their conversation:

• The shift from traditional ROAS metrics to a more holistic view of brand and performance-driven marketing is essential for long-term success in eCommerce.
• Understanding the convergence of brand marketing and performance media, particularly with tools like Amazon DSP, can lead to better consumer engagement and increased profitability.
• Investment in upper-funnel marketing activities and the use of clean-room analytics are vital steps in building a robust digital brand presence.
• Effective brand strategies must prioritize understanding consumer behavior and demand creation over mere product selling.
• Brands should focus on adaptive strategies and test and learn approaches to navigate the dynamic advertising landscape effectively.
