Here’s the uncomfortable bit: the algorithm is mostly just your audience, at scale.

It watches what people stop for, what they finish and what they send to a friend. Then it shows more people more of that. When reach drops, it’s usually because those signals dropped first.
So before blaming the latest update, look at your first three seconds.

Better content. Better reach. That’s TDMC.

Shopify says one thing. Google Analytics says another. That’s normal.

The two have never counted sessions the same way and Shopify’s update just changed its side of the comparison. A bigger gap isn’t automatically a tracking problem.
Pick one source of truth per metric. Mark the date. Compare like with like.

Marketing gets complicated quickly when the strategy becomes:
“Everyone else is doing it.”
“AI can probably handle it.”
“We’ll check the numbers later.”

The best marketing decisions usually start with a much simpler question:
What actually makes sense for our audience and our business?
Here are a few approaches we’d rethink 👀

If your Black Friday strategy starts in November, you’re already playing catch-up.

The opportunity isn’t just Black Friday itself. It’s the weeks before, the days after and everything in between.
The strongest Q4 strategies connect paid, email, creative, data and offers into one bigger customer journey.

More planning. Less panic. That’s how you make Q4 work harder.

We asked the team to imitate the most important appliance in the building and you can instantly spot the caffeine addicts versus the casual tea drinkers.

Which impression deserves a 10/10?

Spreading your brand thin across every app isn’t a growth strategy. It’s just exhausting your team in six places at once.

Visibility doesn’t guarantee value. Visibility without strategy is just noise.

Go where your audience lives. Master the content they actually consume. Build depth before you build reach.
