Scaling DTC brands from $1M→$20M no longer comes down to media buying tactics. It's all about: - Building systems for cranking out creative assets weekly (ugc/statics/videos) - Landing page testing - Getting creative with offers (not just %/$ off) - Email/SMS flow optimization

What revenue did the fastest growing DTC brand do in its first calendar year? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a brand do more than $50M in its first 12 months. Any examples of faster growth than this?
