The hits keep coming. Nift has once again been named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™.

One of North America’s fastest-growing technology companies, driven by 731% revenue growth over the past three years. 💪

[Full release in comments]

For the first time, the people who own the transaction are also becoming the most powerful media owners in the room. 

Walmart, Target, Kroger, Instacart, Uber, DoorDash… they have carts, orders,  identities, and now the media dollars.

Everyone’s hyped about retail media racing toward ~$100B. The more interesting question is: what happens when every “ad opportunity” is attached to a logged-in, paying customer?

The space is still relatively new, but its month-over-month rate of change can give you whiplash. If you still think commerce media is “sponsored products on a retailer’s site,” you’re already behind.

This is fast becoming the default way brands buy performance media:
closer to the transaction, closer to the customer, closer to actual revenue.

And the tension no one wants to talk about? there’s a ceiling on how many ads you can jam into an app, a feed, or a checkout flow before users tap out.

So the next phase isn’t “more ads.” It’s:

– Turning high-intent moments into value, not noise
– Growing yield per user without torching the experience
– Bringing in non-endemic dollars w/out turning into Times Square

The players who solve that balance — retailers, apps, BNPLs, streamers — will own the next decade of advertising. 

Everyone else will be arguing about CPMs while their users quietly churn.

Big milestone for us at Nift: we’re continuing our expansion in the UK with another phenomenal partner.

When Nift started, the idea was simple– help people discover great brands through gifts that actually feel good to receive. Watching that idea grow from a handful of partners in the U.S. to working with some of the biggest consumer apps in the world… that’s been surreal.

This latest addition to our UK partner ecosystem is a reminder of how far the team has taken this. 

New markets, new partners, and the same belief that there’s a better way for brands and consumers to connect than another interruptive ad.

I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building and even more excited for what opening up the UK unlocks next.

We’re pleased to share that Nift is partnering with Clearpay (Afterpay) as we expand into the UK.

Through this partnership, Clearpay customers will receive thoughtful thank-you gifts at meaningful moments in their journey—helping them discover brands they’ll love, while giving Clearpay a way to generate incremental revenue without interrupting the experience.

It also offers brands a more thoughtful path to reaching new audiences, rooted in relevance and choice rather than disruption.

We’re grateful to be partnering with Clearpay and look forward to what we’ll build together. 💪

Growth at Tella 🎥  the screen recorder that edits for you. To work together, drop me a message.

Growth @ Tella ⎸ I write about growth, product, and video 🎥

FINALLY 

I'm sharing the setup I use to film my Tella videos. 

Things I optimised for: 

✅ Decent price range
✅ Repurpose items I owned
✅ Look extra cute 'n sexy

If you'd like the full list (incl. links), ask me below so I can send it to you.

A quick reminder that all people want is to: 

- be iconic 💅
- have people like them
- have their boss like them
- make money
- be more confident
- look smart
- feel they're making the right decisions
- relieve anxiety

If your content helps them do this, you'll be fine.

Tella meets Tally 🤝

Highlight of this Summit week was probably meeting Marie Martens + friends for breakfast. 

Can't wait to see more of the Tally team on video!

Do we think my french Dad knows it's LinkedIn and not "𝘓𝘪𝘯-𝘲𝘶𝘦-𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦"?

me, whenever I use CapCut instead of Tella:

After years of posting on here, I concluded anyone with at least one of these can grow an audience in no-time: 

- Time (in-depth research like Josh or Guillaume, reading + synthesising) 
- Personal experience (think Elena or Sandra, impossible to copy experience)
- Connections (see interviews by Lenny and Emily on Substack) 
- Humour/personality (Renée from tl;dv and Cory)

Ranked easiest to hardest to acquire. Did I rank them correctly?

I forgot to tell you I turned 29 on Saturday. 

Here's my year in stats: 

- Learned a 5th language
- Surfed average of 3x/week
- Spent 8 months working at Tella
- Listened to 260 minutes of 50 Cent
- Spent 6hrs cooking my birthday buffet

Curious what this year will bring 😏

The good stuff happens on your phone anyways. 

Here's how to record your mobile screen in Tella directly. 

- no reduced browser
- no mobile screen recording

Would you use this? 🤳

the real issue using Tella to reply to customers is when you just woke up and realise you look like this:

No alternative text description for this image

People in my comments have been saying the same thing for months:

"I should really give Tella try this time"

Week after week, the same type of comment. The same people.

I used to take that as a sign I was doing something wrong. 
Now I take it as a challenge. a few more posts, and I’ll get them there 🤷‍♀️

Because with a product like Tella, the hesitation isn’t about money. It’s about what it represents:

- Coming up with content ideas
- Practice being on camera
- Edit videos
- Distribute said videos

No wonder buyers take weeks to decide. So, with every new post, I prove it's doable.

PSA: you don’t need cinematic product launch videos

If your product solves a pain, this super simple product launch video will do the trick 🫡

This formula is how Shortcut (by Nico Christie) got 4.1 million views on their product preview video.

POV: your co-worker hits you with the “well, actually, I think I can pull it off…” in front of your boss after you both agreed that deadline was impossible

Expect '50 vs. Diddy' level pettiness 🤝

How Andreessen Horowitz is going to be helping startups “win the timeline, not just the market” 🤝

Trying to get Grant to let me order some Christmas gear for upcoming vids. Think he'll notice if I slipped these in there?
