The Marketing Funnel Is Collapsing: How Retailers Should Work With Creators | Jade Beason
Sep 29, 20266 min
Retail brands still hire creators for one post. Jade Beason says that era is over. Recorded at YouTube Festival 2026 at the London Palladium, this short conversation covers what retailers are missing in how they work with creators, how trust is actually earned, and what a shoppable YouTube does to the customer journey. In this episode: - Why a single sponsored post is the least valuable way to use a creator - Campaigns across paid, owned and earned media, and creators at in-person events - Know, like, trust: why the story behind the product matters more than awareness - "I don't think the funnel's dead. I think it's collapsing": discovery, education and purchase in one viewing - Why long-form content sells, and what YouTube Shopping changes - Why B2B is becoming as relevant as B2C for creators Context: Oxford Economics, in research for YouTube, found that YouTube creators contributed £2.8bn in GDP to the UK in 2025.

Boots, No7, Tesco F&F, Albaray, M&S, New Look, Sainsbury’s, Oxfam, Halfords & Currys: UK roundup
Sep 25, 202615 min
Boots’ creator-commerce push raises a practical question: whose advice helps customers buy? Alex Rezvan and Simone Oloman examine that question alongside virtual try-on, circular textiles, service-led retail, and Vogue World’s runway robots. Five Things Friday, UK edition. Recorded 25 September 2026. Alex Rezvan and Simone Oloman discuss five connected retail stories: • Tesco’s reported F&F virtual try-on pilot at Sandhurst, alongside Simone’s Swap demonstration experience featuring Albaray. • M&S, New Look, Sainsbury’s, Oxfam, and Circle-8’s plans for The Circuit. • Boots, No7, and creator-led shopping, including Alex’s observations from YouTube Festival and his interview with Jade Beason. • Halfords’ “For all wheelkind” platform, the do-it-for-me economy, and Currys as a service-led retail reference. • Vogue World: Milano’s robots and the hosts’ debate about human craftsmanship. The commercial thread: make the customer’s decision easier, and be clear about where technology actually helps. Conversion benefits and future consumer behaviour discussed here are the hosts’ assessments, not measured results from this episode. Clarifications: Boots’ TikTok Shop pilot was scheduled for 28 September 2026, after this recording. The Circuit’s first phase is planned for January 2027. The 1.4 million tonnes textile figure refers to the UK in 2024. Halfords’ £17bn estimate covers motoring services alone; motoring products are a separate £4bn estimate. Boots’ campaign is “Give it Some Boots”; the song is “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’”. Jade Beason’s spoken follower count was not independently verified.

NRF Europe 2026 Day 3: 9 Retail Innovation 1 Min Pitches + Q&A
Sep 18, 202619 min
Nine retail companies pitch their solutions at NRF Europe 2026. Host Alex Rezvan then asks what makes each worth choosing over a competitor, before an audience challenge on patents and lasting differentiation. Recorded at the Innovation Stage in Paris, the session moves from short product propositions to a practical buying question: what makes this company different from the next supplier? The pitches cover crowdshipping, charitable cookie consent, AI-supported retail decisions, unified payments, bottle protection, assortment planning, agentic commerce, market intelligence, and marketing activation. The Q&A tests the case for choosing a supplier, then explores how physical loss prevention can preserve self-service shopping.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
