This episode of the DTC Podcast is a triple threat: Meta’s Jake Bailey returns to unpack the Cyber 5 data, Hungryroot’s Adam Weber shares how they scaled partnership ads to 50%+ of spend, and adMixt’s Kevin Simonson drops a masterclass on testing, attribution, and scenario planning.
What’s inside:
- Why Cyber Monday hit softer — and which brands still crushed
- The shift from segment-based targeting to real personas (with matching creators)
- Why partnership ads are outperforming UGC — and how Hungryroot scaled them
- Meta’s new catalog + partnership ad combo (early tests: +20% performance)
- Q5 lead gen strategy: when volume spikes, competition drops
If you’re running paid on Meta, an agency managing $500K+ budgets, or a brand that needs a serious Q5 plan, this episode is a must listen.
