At Brantive, we pride ourselves on our ability to create highly effective Facebook, Instagram, TikTok ads, and Google ads that deliver results. Whether it's increasing site conversions, or building multi-stage funnels and customer acquisition strategies, what we focus we do it exceptionally well.

Here's how we help:

◼️ Implement a structured testing strategy, emphasizing content analysis.
◼️ Examine the impact of paid social & search on your overall business ecosystem.

What's the single fatal flaw that makes 90% of brands fail at marketing?
 
Hint: It's not a lack of creativity or budget. It's boredom.

The audience doesn’t remember your 10th new idea.
They remember the one idea you repeated until it finally stuck.

Repetition builds recognition.
Consistency builds trust.
And trust drives sales.

So next time you feel like you’re repeating yourself -
you’re probably just starting to be remembered.

Marketing has changed.

And most founders missed the memo.

The old school style of marketing has been dead for some time now. 

If you don't understand AI, Personal Brand, Ads, GEO...
And how visibility will actually works in 2026, you're already behind. 

This is what marketing looks like now: 

1. AI-Powered Marketing

The use of AI to automate smarter marketing decisions.

Best practice: 
Identify key moments of intent using tools like GA4 or Searchable

2. Audience Discovery

Understanding how your audience behaves across platforms and AI tools.

Best practice: 
Map digital behaviour by using analytics tools like SimilarWeb or Glasp.

3. Brand Positioning

How your business or personal brand is perceived. 

Best practice: 
Define your edge. Write down in one sentence what you do best.

4. Visibility Channels

The revenue-driving systems that determine who gets seen: Paid Ads, Retargeting, and Email Marketing Automation.

Best practice:

Start with Paid Ads to generate immediate traffic, layer in Retargeting to lift conversions, and expand into Email Marketing to nurture, upsell, and retain customers.

5. Content Engine

A repeatable system that turns ideas into content and growth.

Best practice:
Review performance weekly. Identify what converts and double down.

6. Growth Systems

Automated processes that track, test, and scale what’s working. 

Best practice: 
Identify compounding loops and build automation to replicate that sequence.

Today, marketing is more of a flywheel: 

It's fueled by AI, driven by content, and sustained by your brand. 

If you insist on operating with the same funnel from 2022, you'll be: 

- Invisible in AI search. 
- Guessing at what content works. 
- Building manually instead of scaling systematically.

Marketing 2026

"We don't have budget for marketing."

But you have budget for:
→ Office rent 
→ Employee salaries
→ New equipment 
→ Software subscriptions

Here's the thing that might sting a little...

Marketing isn't a cost center.

It's a revenue generator.

When you say you don't have budget for marketing, what you're really saying is you don't have budget for growth.

And I get it. Marketing feels risky because the returns aren't always immediate or obvious.

But consider this...

Every successful business you admire? They invested in marketing when it felt uncomfortable.

It's an investment you can't afford NOT to make.

The businesses that "don't have a budget" for marketing usually:
→ Rely entirely on word-of-mouth and hope 
→ Wonder why their competitors are always busy 
→ Struggle to attract top talent because no one knows who they are 
→ Hit revenue plateaus they can't break through 
→ Miss out on entire markets they could serve

Meanwhile, their competitors are:
→ Building brand awareness while they're invisible
→ Capturing market share while they're waiting
→ Establishing thought leadership while they're silent
→ Creating systems that generate predictable revenue

The real question isn't whether you can afford to invest in marketing.

It's whether you can afford not to.

Because while you're saving money on marketing, your competitors are investing in taking your clients/customers.

In-N-Out Burger has the smallest menu in fast food.

Six items. That's it.

Burger, cheeseburger, double double, fries, shakes, drinks.

Meanwhile McDonald's has 100+ items. Constantly adding new products.

In-N-Out hasn't changed their menu since 1948.

But here's what happens:

In-N-Out does $5 million revenue per location.

McDonald's does $2.7 million per location.

The small menu is a speed multiplier.

Every fast food place has the same problem: complexity kills speed.

More menu items means:

- More ingredients to stock
- More training for employees
- Longer customer decision time
- Slower kitchen operations

In-N-Out removed all of it.

Six items means employees master them in a week. Every burger is muscle memory.

Kitchen has 12 ingredients total. Nothing complicated. Nothing specialized.

Average order time: 1.5 minutes (McDonald's: 4 minutes).

But here's the genius secret menu:

They have 20+ modifications that don't appear on the menu board.

- Animal Style (special sauce, grilled onions)
- Protein Style (lettuce wrap)
- 4x4 (four patties, four cheese slices)
- Grilled cheese (no meat)

You have to know to ask for them.

This creates two experiences:

1. Newbies: "The menu is simple, I know what to order"
2. Regulars: "I'm in on the secret, I'm part of the club"

The small visible menu serves speed.

The secret menu serves loyalty and word-of-mouth.

People love telling friends: "Order it Animal Style."

The pattern:

1. Keep your public offering extremely simple (remove paradox of choice)
2. Create hidden depth that rewards exploration (for people who want more)
3. Make the hidden stuff discoverable through community, not marketing (people tell each other)
4. Never promote the hidden stuff publicly (maintains the "insider" feeling)

In-N-Out could expand their menu to 50 items and attract more customers.

But then speed drops, quality suffers, and they become just another burger place.

The 6 item menu funds the $300k revenue advantage per location.

What's your version of the smallest menu that makes operations perfect and loyalty strong?

Meta and Google ads is the only arena where scrappy founders and billion-dollar giants go head-to-head for the same attention

And I’ve been on both sides

At the startup level, it’s chaos in the best way

No permission needed

No 17-slide decks

You test something in the morning, scale it by night

Just hit the CPA and keep spending

No one cares *how*—only that it works

But as brands grow

That freedom fades

The same energy that fueled growth gets replaced by process

Speed dies

Decisions drag

Meetings multiply

And risk becomes the enemy

That’s when companies stop scaling

Not because the opportunity’s gone

But because the people inside stop moving like builders

The biggest brands I’ve seen stall out had one thing in common:

They stopped letting their best operators move fast

That’s why I love working with founders and fast-moving teams

No politics

No committees

Just: what’s working, what’s next, let’s go

Startups scale because they act fast and stay flexible

Corporate machines stall because they optimize for control

And I’ll take the messy freedom of building over the polished decay of maintaining any day of the week

While everyone else is learning ChatGPT prompts...

The real winners are mastering this:

Doing the old fashioned things well.

Stand up straight. Look people in the eye. Do what you say you'll do. Be on time. Have a confident handshake. Be kind.

Surprisingly few live up to this standard.

The old fashioned things never go out of style.

Marketing 2025 wrapped

We lost $420,000 in annual pipeline and our SEO team had no idea why.

Rankings were solid.
Traffic looked stable.
But leads just disappeared.

Turns out, **our buyers stopped using blue links on Google**

They started asking ChatGPT. Claude. Perplexity.
And our brand? Nowhere to be found.

We were still creating content. Still getting indexed.
But LLMs were citing our competitors, and we were bleeding revenue without a clue.

**Here is the harsh truth most SEO teams miss:**
You can’t optimize for what you can’t see.

❌ Google Analytics won't tell you where you rank in ChatGPT.
❌ Your content team is flying blind.

The brands winning right now treat **AI visibility** exactly like keyword rankings.

I started using an tool because it’s the first platform to actually track this "Dark Search":
→ Where your brand appears (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity).
→ Your sentiment in AI answers.
→ Which sources LLMs trust (so you know where to get backlinks).

We ran one audit. The numbers were brutal.
We were invisible.

So we restructured our content logic. We fixed entity signals.
**2 months later:**

✅ +16,400 monthly visits from AI search
✅ Visibility in 60+ high-intent prompts
✅ **$180K in recovered pipeline**

Most marketing teams are still optimizing for 2019 search.
AI is eating their lunch while they track the wrong metrics.

Don't let your pipeline bleed out.

Most ops teams lose 10+ hours a week waiting on engineering to build basic internal tools.

That’s 520 hours a year per person for things like a dashboard, a notification, a lead router.

Stuff that should take 2 hours, not 2 months.

The pattern never changes:

Ops knows what they need → they submit a ticket → they wait → the moment is gone.

So teams are shifting to a new model:

Let ops build small, production-ready tools themselves.

No engineering. No backlog. No bottleneck.

Describe the workflow → generate the tool.

Connect to Notion, HubSpot, Slack.

Add a DB, auth, deploy.

No code.

Just vibing code.

And the results are clear:

- Tools built in 2 hours save 96+ hours
- 6× productivity gains
- 10+ hours/week reclaimed

This isn’t a Zapier chain. It’s real tooling:

security, governance, scalability even turning Figma designs or API docs into working apps.

Ideas weren’t the bottleneck.

Execution was.

When ops can ship in hours, everything accelerates.

Up to 40% of client churn comes from unclear reporting.

Read that again.

Most agencies don’t lose clients because of bad creative.

Or poor strategy.

They lose them because their reporting is a mess.

I see it constantly:

• 10 platforms, 10 definitions of “cost”
• Days wasted reconciling currencies across regions
• Reports delivered so late they’re irrelevant
• Insights landing only after the budget is already burned

Here’s the part nobody wants to admit:

Clients aren’t leaving because results are bad.

They’re leaving because they can't trust the numbers you show them.

Meanwhile, the agencies actually growing right now?

They’ve figured out how to:

→ Connect every channel (including offline) in one place
→ Standardize everything so comparisons are apples-to-apples
→ Deliver insights while there’s still time to act

This isn’t about saving hours in spreadsheets.

It’s about becoming the agency clients never want to leave.

A few months ago, I started using a platform that finally made this click for me : Supermetrics

It connects every source, standardizes the chaos, and gives me analytics-ready data I can actually make decisions from.

No more “let me check.”

No more reconciling anything.

Just clarity. Fast.

Most brands are going to get destroyed on TikTok Shop in 2026. And it's not because the platform changed.

But because they're still playing the 2024 game.

I just spent the last month analysing what's actually working.

There are 6 specific shifts happening in 2026.

The brands that understand them will scale.

The ones that don't will get left behind.

I recorded a quick video breaking down those shifts, trends and predictions 
for 2026.

"Charge low until you prove yourself."

Worst advice I've ever heard in the agency space.

When you charge too low for pitching to bigger brands, they don't see the full value.

Then it's nearly impossible to raise your prices later.

You've locked yourself into low margins for years.

Maybe that's fine as a solo freelancer.

But when you want to grow, you're stuck.

Instead, charge what you believe you're worth.

Break down the components.

Show them exactly what they're getting for the cost.

Then let your delivery prove you were right.

This approach does something else, too.

It allows you to hire A-players from day one, instead of scrambling to find those who can "just get the job done."

Your pricing dictates your quality.
Your quality dictates your clients.
Your clients dictate your business.

Don't trap yourself at the bottom.

$165K in 7 days.

That's what one of our clients did in the first week of BFCM.

Everyone thinks BFCM is won in November.

It's not.

It's won in September.

BFCM on TikTok Shop isn't a sprint.

It's the finish line of a 90-day marathon.

The brands crushing it right now didn't start prepping last week.

They started in September when everyone else was sleeping.

Momentum takes time to build.

But when it hits, it compounds fast.

If you want your brand ready for Q1 (yes, Q1), DM me "2026" and I'll walk you through what to start doing today.

Just wrapped up Affiliate World Bangkok 2025 last week.

The energy was unreal.

It is always a privilege to get on stage and break down what we are seeing inside TikTok Shop right now, especially in a room full of sharp operators who actually get it.

Huge thanks to the Affiliate World Conferences team for having me.

The event keeps leveling up, and the conversations this year were some of the best yet.

Great to reconnect with familiar faces and meet so many new people who are building real businesses.

$1.4M in 4 months.

328% growth and 35,507 orders for one of our clients.

Here's how we did it on TikTok Shop:

1) Started creator outreach in August

Locked in 5-10 top creators on retainer before the competition heated up. Sent 200-500 samples to build a pipeline of content ready to post.

2) Posted content 30+ days before peak sales periods

Gave the algorithm time to learn what converts. Content from August/September trained TikTok on their best-performing formats before the November spike.

3) Ran small tests in September to validate what works

That early spike wasn't luck - it was a controlled test. Identified winning creators, hooks, and products before scaling hard in November.

4) Built infrastructure to handle volume spikes

Synced shop inventory, created urgency overlays and bundles, set up creator communication channels (Discord/WhatsApp) so they could handle 2,000+ orders a day without breaking.

Don't wait until Q1 to start planning.

The brands that win in March are building right now.

If you want help getting your TikTok Shop strategy dialed in, send me a DM.

Your first 3 seconds on TikTok Shop can break or make your product.

A high-converting video shows:

- The frustration (make them feel it)
- The product solving it (demo in action)
- A real person using it (not scripted)
- The transformation (satisfying result)

Brands that nail this formula are doing 6-7 figures on TikTok Shop.

Most people think TikTok Shop is for cheap impulse buys.

One of our clients just did £6,676 in 7 days selling TVs.

High-ticket works on TikTok Shop.

You just can't use the same playbook as $15 skincare.

The strategy changes when AOV goes up.

You don't need viral moments for high-ticket.

You need the right audience to see the right message.

29 sales might not sound impressive.

But at this price point, it's more revenue than brands doing 500 orders on low-ticket products.

TikTok Shop isn't one-size-fits-all.

The brands that understand this are the ones scaling.

If you're in the high-ticket space and want to crack TikTok Shop, DM me "Strategy."

I almost didn't post my first piece of content on LinkedIn.

I was worried about what people would think.

Friends from school. 
People I used to work with. 
Anyone who knew me before I started the agency.

I kept thinking:

“What are they going to think about this?”

In those first few posts, I was genuinely worried.

Rewrote it, then didn’t post it.

I was scared of the judgment.

But then I just said screw it and hit post.

And you know what happened?

I got over it really quickly.

Because I realized something important:

It doesn't really matter what they think.

The people who matter don't mind.

And the people who mind don't matter.

Once I understood that, everything changed.

I stopped worrying about old school friends scrolling past my posts.

I stopped caring if someone thought I was "too much" or "showing off."

I just focused on sharing what I know about TikTok Shop and helping brands 
scale.

And that's when things actually started moving.

If you're holding back from posting because you're worried about what people 
will think:

Just start.

You'll get over it faster than you think.

And the people who actually matter will support you.

From award-winner to the top-selling body-care brand on TikTok Shop in 2024.

In late 2023, Maëlys, a premium body-care brand, entered a platform many assumed was built for cheap impulse buys.

By the end of 2024, they became the top-selling body-care brand on TikTok Shop, took home the 2025 Glossy Pop Award for Best Use of TikTok Shop, and ranked as a top-five earning Shop in the personal care category in Q1 2025.

During one campaign, they drove an 800 percent increase in total orders, with 87 percent of customers being first-time buyers.

Here’s how they pulled it off:

1. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Most brands pay influencers for polished reviews.

Maëlys built a system around real women sharing their journeys.

They spotlighted creators documenting visible changes in stretch marks, loose skin, and other body-targeting concerns.

This wasn’t about curated aesthetics.

It was about proof, and proof converts.

2. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆

Instead of relying on standard affiliate commissions, they rolled out an incentive program with prizes valued at up to $275,000.

Top creators weren’t just earning revenue.

They were competing for a Ritz-Carlton yacht experience and luxury handbags.

This turned creators into true partners and unlocked high-quality content at scale.

3. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲

Maëlys built a three-part system documented in TikTok’s official case study:

• Organic content for trust
• Paid media to scale winning creatives
• Creator partnerships for social proof

Organic content de-risked ad spend.

Ad spend amplified creator performance.

Together, they created a growth flywheel.

4. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺

Even while dominating TikTok, Maëlys expanded the moment offline.

They went live with a digital billboard in Times Square and ran a TikTok Shop-exclusive 30 percent discount to create urgency.

This wasn’t just a Shop strategy.

It was a full-funnel brand play.

---

Maëlys proved that premium, considered-purchase brands can win on TikTok Shop.

They understood that TikTok isn’t only a sales channel. It’s a community.

They didn’t sell body cream. They sold confidence.

And they built the system to scale it.

One of our US beauty clients just cracked $100K in a single month.

$107K in GMV to be exact.

Up 15% from September.

1,828 orders.
2,515 items sold.
1,768 customers.

Most beauty brands think you need to go viral to hit six figures on TikTok Shop.

You don't.

You need consistent creator output and offers that convert.

This brand didn't have a single mega-viral moment in October.

Just steady volume.
Multiple creators posting daily.
Products that actually solve problems.

The algorithm rewards consistency.

If you're a brand stuck under $50K/month and want to break through to six figures, DM me "Scale" and I'll show you the exact framework we used here.

Most brands think creating content that sells is a straight line.

Set a goal, create content, and make sales.

But here's what actually happens when you're building TikTok Shop content:

You set a goal to hit $100K on TikTok Shop.

1) You start reaching out to creators.

Half don't respond. The ones that do want samples.

2) You're learning what hooks actually work.

What you thought would convert doesn't.

3) You start doubting if TikTok Shop is even worth it.

Your first 20 videos get decent views but zero sales.

4) You're failing to get traction.

Competitors are posting similar products and crushing it.

5) You're practicing what works.

Different angles, Flash Sales.

6) You feel lost because nothing's consistent yet.

One video does $5K, the next 10 do nothing.

7) You're getting it.

You find 3 creators who actually move product.

They are not the easiest to work with, but when you find that 1% it’s all worth it.

8) Then you're struggling with a new problem.

Fulfillment can't keep up.

You're out of stock on your best SKU.

9) Finally, you achieve it.

Consistent daily sales.

A creator network that posts weekly.

Momentum that compounds.

The brands that win aren't the ones who avoid the mess.

They're the ones who push through it while everyone else quits.

And set the assigned budget for TikTok Shop for 12 months, not 3.

How to dominate Q5 on TikTok Shop in 2 words:

Start now.

...

That's it.

All this gift guide content, holiday bundles, New Year messaging... are simply tactics on top of these 2 words.

Start now.

Then add on from there.

Here are the content angles that crush Q5:

Last-minute gift solutions
New Year transformation hooks
Post-holiday self-care positioning
"Treat yourself" messaging
Bundle deals with urgency
Resolution-focused product benefits

Focus on these 6 angles, and you're going to win.

What content to create on TikTok Shop at each stage (to maximize sales):

TOFU (scrolling, not buying yet):

- product demos solving a specific problem
- “day in the life" content showing real use
- zero sales pitch in first 3 seconds
- hook focuses on the problem, not your brand
- soft CTAs like "wait for it" or "watch till the end"

These people aren't ready to buy today. 

Stop forcing the sale.

MOFU (considering it):

- comparison content (you vs alternatives)
- creator testimonials showing real results
- before/after transformations
- address objections directly (price, shipping, does it actually work)
- CTAs focus on "see it in action" or "check the reviews"

BOFU (ready to convert):

Run cold traffic TOFU content. Retarget scrollers with MOFU. Convert warm audience with BOFU Lives and urgency posts.

Most brands push product links to cold traffic and wonder why their GMV is flat.

Everyone tells you to "take your time and don't rush."

Then you wonder why you're outperformed by your competitors and why they're taking your market share.

I've never agreed with this because I've always believed in the "just do it" approach like Nike.

You can fix things along the way.

But you can't fix momentum you never built.

When you're planning 3, 5, 10-year goals, ask yourself:

Why can't you condense that into one year?

The buffer you think you're creating is actually killing your business.

You want to be ahead of the herd.

Whether you're doing it right or wrong, you'll figure it out faster by moving.

Stop waiting for perfect.

Start building now.

What's working on TikTok Shop right now:

Discovery commerce beats interruption ads.

Here are 3 things winning brands are doing:

1) Creator retainers over random outreach

Brands still mass-DMing 100 creators, hoping something sticks. Meanwhile, smart brands locked in 5-10 creators on retainer back in September.

Those relationships are printing money right now.

The right handful beats the wrong hundreds.

2) 30-day algorithm prep

Content posted today performs better in December than content posted on December 1st.

The algorithm needs time to learn.

Brands posting now are building momentum.

Brands waiting are already behind.

3) Hook + demo = instant sales

The first 3 seconds grab attention.

The next 10 seconds show the product working.

That's it.

Stop overthinking it.

TikTok Shop rewards speed and relationships.

Not perfectionism.

One of our UK clients in the beauty niche affiliate sales did over £50K in GMV in October.

Up 29% from September.

We doubled down this month:

• 927 videos posted.
• 539 LIVE streams.

The brands winning right now are the ones that went all in on creator volume.

If you want to see this kind of MoM growth for your brand, DM me "TikTok Shop" and I'll walk you through the exact process we used here.

I just walked a room full of brand founders through our TikTok Shop 2026 playbook.

And I could see it click for them.

The ones crushing it aren't doing anything magical.

They're just not making the same mistakes.

Like thinking TikTok Shop works like Amazon.

Well, it doesn't.

Your customer didn't know your brand existed 10 seconds ago.

That changes everything.

The brands doing $100K+ per month figured this out:

- Presence before profit.
- Speed over perfection.
- 5-10 posts per day organically, not once a week.

I recorded the full session, breaking down the 2026 playbook.

Comment "recording" and I'll send it to you.

"I'm probably getting fired for this."

This hook works insanely well for Black Friday.

People love feeling like they're in on a secret.

When a creator posts your BFCM deal early with a "leaked codes" or "you didn't see this from me" angle, it doesn't feel like marketing.

It feels exclusive, like they're getting access to something they shouldn't have yet.

How to use this:

Give your top 3-5 creators early access to your BFCM bundles.

Tell them to post it with angles like:

• "I'm not supposed to show this yet, but..."
• "Black Friday deal leaked early."
• "Delete this before my brand partner sees it."
• "You didn't get this from me."

Try these and see your Black Friday sales explode.

I used to spend 70+ hours a month building decks and proposals.

Between client meetings, audits, and speaking gigs, I was drowning in slide design.

Then I started using Gamma's consultant prompts, and it's been a game-changer.

Now I'm delivering better work in a fraction of the time.

What makes it different from other tools?

Gamma studied 3.5 million presentations and built a library of 100+ optimized prompts specifically for consultants (plus sales, marketing, education, and more).

They follow a proven 30-word formula for clarity and visual storytelling, so every deck looks polished and professional without the manual work.

Now, I'm creating presentations in under an hour that used to take me a full day.

That's 85-90% time savings.

With 70 million users and 700K decks created daily, there's a reason Gamma works.

They've cracked the code on what makes presentations actually effective.
