The DTC Marketing Podcast with Fexingo is the daily show where Lucas and Luna cut through the noise of direct-to-consumer brand strategy, Shopify optimization, and e-commerce growth — without the hype. Each episode examines a specific DTC brand's recent performance: customer acquisition costs, retention mechanics, unit economics, and the tactical decisions behind their marketing spend. Lucas, a former journalist covering retail tech, pushes for the numbers behind the narrative; Luna, a seasoned e-commerce operator, challenges assumptions with on-the-ground realities from brands like Allbirds, Glossier, and Warby Parker. Together, they dissect A/B tests that worked (and those that didn't), zero in on CAC payback periods, and debate the viability of TikTok shop vs. email flows for repeat purchase. This show is for founders, marketing leads, and growth operators who want to move beyond surface-level 'tips' and understand the actual P&L math of DTC. Expect no celebrity interviews, no 'secr

Why DTC Brands Are Killing Third-Party Cookies
Sep 13, 202610 minS4
The digital advertising landscape is shifting under our feet. With Apple’s privacy changes and the phasing out of third-party cookies, direct-to-consumer brands are scrambling to adapt. Lucas and Luna break down the real impact on customer acquisition costs and how top brands are pivoting to first-party data strategies. We look at specific examples like Glossier and Warby Parker, exploring how they are building owned audiences through email, SMS, and community-led growth instead of relying on opaque ad platforms. This episode covers practical steps for marketers to survive the post-cookie world. #DTCSuccess #EcommerceGrowth #DigitalMarketing #FirstPartyData #ThirdPartyCookies #ShopifyTips #CustomerAcquisition #PrivacyChanges #ApplePrivacy #BrandBuilding #EmailMarketing #SMSMarketing #Glossier #WarbyParker #Retargeting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How DTC Brands Use Augmented Reality to Reduce Returns
Sep 12, 20269 minS4
Direct-to-consumer brands are facing a brutal return rate, often exceeding thirty percent for apparel and footwear. This episode explores how augmented reality try-on tools are shifting from novelty to necessity. We look at the specific mechanics of virtual fitting rooms, the data they generate on customer preferences, and the surprising way this technology is actually boosting average order value rather than just cutting logistics costs. Lucas and Luna break down the implementation challenges, the role of first-party data in training these models, and why AR is becoming a key differentiator in an era of rising ad spend. #AugmentedReality #DTCMarketing #EcommerceGrowth #VirtualTryOn #ReturnReduction #ShopifyApps #CustomerExperience #FirstPartyData #MobileCommerce #ConversionOptimization #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechInRetail #ConsumerBehavior #DigitalStrategy #ARTechnology #LTVImprovement #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How DTC Brands Use Zero-Party Data for Hyper-Personalization
Sep 11, 202610 minS4
Most direct-to-consumer brands are still guessing what customers want because they rely on third-party cookies that are disappearing. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down how companies like Stitch Fix and Warby Parker turned around their marketing by asking customers directly for their preferences. We explore zero-party data collection strategies, the shift from inferred behavior to explicit intent, and why this approach lowers customer acquisition costs while increasing lifetime value in the current e-commerce landscape of September 2026. #ZeroPartyData #DTCMarketing #Personalization #CustomerExperience #EcommerceGrowth #ShopifyStrategy #FirstPartyData #BrandLoyalty #DataPrivacy #CustomerInsights #StitchFix #WarbyParker #MarketingTrends #ConsumerBehavior #DigitalStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How DTC Brands Are Monetizing Their First-Party Data
Sep 10, 20269 minS4
In this episode of The DTC Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how direct-to-consumer brands are turning their rich first-party customer data into a standalone revenue stream. We examine the shift from selling products to selling insights, using case studies like Stitch Fix’s early data licensing model and modern privacy-compliant analytics partnerships. With cookie deprecation accelerating in September 2026, brands that treat customer behavior as an asset class are finding new margins. We break down the mechanics of data clean rooms, the ethical lines brands must not cross, and why this pivot is becoming essential for long-term survival in a post-cookie world. #FirstPartyData #DTCMarketing #DataMonetization #PrivacyCompliance #EcommerceStrategy #CustomerInsights #DigitalAdvertising #StitchFixCaseStudy #CleanRooms #CookieDeprecation #LTVOptimization #RetailMediaNetworks #ConsumerBehavior #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingTrends #DataEthics #ShopifyGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Free returns have become the silent killer of direct-to-consumer margins. In this episode, we examine how brands like Allbirds and Warby Parker are quietly phasing out unconditional free return shipping to protect their bottom line. With logistics costs rising in the third quarter of twenty twenty six, we look at the specific data on return rates for apparel versus hard goods, and why a simple restocking fee or customer-paid return label is actually driving higher lifetime value by forcing more intentional purchases. We also explore how post-purchase experience platforms are turning the return window into a retention tool rather than a loss leader. #DirectToConsumer #EcommerceStrategy #ReturnsPolicy #LogisticsCosts #CustomerRetention #SupplyChain #MarginProtection #Allbirds #WarbyParker #ShopifyPlus #ReverseLogistics #AverageOrderValue #LifetimeValue #SustainableFashion #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingTactics #RetailMedia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

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.
