I think this got lost in the mail originally, but we're stoked to finally have it @Shopify ! Crazy to see this number etched in and even crazier this actually happened almost 8 months ago! We'll be ready for the 2 million order mark momento soon! 👀

Brand vs Direct Response. We've been building @wearkizik on the backs of a branded DR approach for the last 2 1/2 years and the data backs it up. Below shows Kizik vs two well known shoe brands both with a 7 year head start and both valued at more than a billion $. 👀

This process is a shift in mindset from how most brands and agencies view DTC advertising, but we're not afraid to pave our own path! I believe brands that figure out how to do both are the ones poised to succeed in 2022 and weather the storms happening in digital advertising.
