Free resource
A working reference for DTC operators: playbooks organised by growth stage, unit economics, creative benchmarks, role architectures. It's the same set of notes we consult before writing the strategy behind a landing page.
25 pages, free. See what's inside first if you'd rather.
What's inside
Organised in five sections: DTC operator playbook, disciplines, paid media, strategy & moats, marketing & sales.
A five-stage growth ladder. Each stage names its binding constraint, the criteria to graduate out of it, and the plays per domain: channel, creative, offer, measurement, hiring, agency.
The financial mechanics written as algebra: one revenue identity — visitors × conversion × AOV × frequency × margin — sitting on one P&L. Break-even ROAS follows from the numbers rather than being assumed.
Creative volume by spend tier, creative budget as a share of ad spend, team sizing, production cost efficiency. Numbers to calibrate against before arguing about a creative brief.
The full role architecture of a DTC org, from founder-does-everything to a nine-figure institutional team, across nine functional domains. Useful when you're deciding what to hire next.
Why we share it
When we build a landing page, the angle comes from somewhere: benchmarks, unit economics, what the stage of the brand allows. This is the reference behind that work. Sharing it lets you judge the thinking before you talk to us.
Enter your email address and the link is yours. No account, no password, no sequence, no follow-up. You read it, we leave you alone.
It's a semi-automated distillation of what we watch, research and build — selected, but not hand-verified line by line. Pages carry a version tag, and some are explicitly marked as brief. Treat it as a working reference, not a textbook.
