This week, the boys are breaking down a few of the most disruptive grey hat marketers in the industry, including the case of an imitation mayonnaise company that was buying its own product and stashing it in warehouses, the bone broth brand beefing up its D2C sales through Instacart, and the merits of using guerilla marketing to mess up the retargeting pool of Facebook ads.  Don’t hate the player… hate the millennial marketer trying to game the system. Plus, Nik and Moiz tackle the rise of TikTok’s newest shop feature and explain which brands are crushing the organic advertising game.  Then, they delve into Shop Pay’s announcement that it’ll be offered outside of Shopify and discuss the woman waging her own odyssey against Amazon Prime’s manipulative tactics.    0:00 Intro/Guess That Business 10:26 TikTok Shopping 27:38 Creative Thinking 43:00 Shop Pay 49:17 Amazon FTC Complaint   This episode was brought to you by Tapcart: Mobile Apps for Shopify.   If you are looking to improve your store’s mobile revenue performance, then check out Tapcart and get your first 2 months free at https://tapcart.com/limited   Check out the Nik’s DTC newsletter: https://bit.ly/3mOUJMJ   Follow Nik: Twitter: twitter.com/mrsharma   Follow Moiz: Twitter: twitter.com/moizali
