S6 E1: The 8 Key Elements to Building a Winning DTC Team (Live from Marketingland)

Do you have the right formula for creating an elite-level e-commerce team? 
Mr. Sharma certainly thinks he does—and he’s spilling his top secrets to building a winning DTC team in this special live episode from Marketingland 2023. 
The guys also dive into the latest stats from October’s Amazon Prime Day, pontificating on when other brands will start to create e-commerce shopping days of their own. *Fingers crossed* we can expect Chewy’s “April Drool’s Day” or Walgreens’ “Drug Deal a Day” to drop any day now.
Plus, what’s up with the recent string of Amazon aggregator failures? Are the growing struggles of rollup businesses in the e-commerce space a bad omen of things to come?
And later, Nik and Moiz share their top tips for building an effective landing page before jumping into a live audience Q&A session.
