  Tiktok Shop Brand Management - Agency or In-House

  Sep 24, 202620 min

  Should your brand hire a TikTok Shop agency, build an internal team, or combine the two? The decision goes deeper than comparing an agency retainer to one employee’s salary. In this episode, Jordan West shares a framework for choosing the right operating model for TikTok Shop and explains why social commerce requires the coordination of an entire business unit. He walks through the nine functions brands need covered, including social commerce leadership, creator recruitment, sampling operations, creative strategy, paid amplification, shop operations, analytics, cross-functional coordination, and live commerce where relevant. You’ll hear when bringing those capabilities in-house makes sense, what a specialized agency can contribute, and why Jordan favors a hybrid model for many enterprise brands: a senior internal owner supported by outside expertise and execution. The episode also covers the full cost of building internally, from recruiting and software to management time and the learning curve. Jordan outlines a three-stage approach—prove it, scale it, and institutionalize it—and shares six questions leaders should ask before making the decision. The takeaway: Every important function needs an owner. Build internal capabilities where they create a strategic advantage, use outside expertise where it adds value, and choose a structure that helps your team move faster.

  How We Got Creators To Post 32 Videos From One Sample On Tiktok Shop

  Sep 22, 202610 min

  Most brands are treating TikTok Shop samples like one-shot transactions: send the product, wait for one video, check the sales, and move on. That misses the bigger opportunity. In this episode, Jordan West explains why the real unit of creator marketing is the creator relationship—not the sample—and breaks down a Social Commerce Club campaign that produced 32 videos per sample. He walks through the five-part creator volume system: building a narrow creator cohort, giving creators one clear selling idea, time-boxing campaigns, combining fixed output incentives with performance upside, and actively managing content quality. You’ll also hear why repeated creator output creates a powerful learning loop. As creators make more videos, they learn which hooks work, which objections matter, how customers respond, and what actually drives clicks and sales. The episode also covers the metrics brands should track beyond total GMV, including videos per sample, cost per usable video, GMV per creator, repeat posting rates, time to first post, and the new hooks and objections discovered through content. The takeaway: TikTok Shop isn’t about sending the most samples. It’s about turning creator attention into repeatable content, measurable learning, and profitable sales systems.

  How to Launch a Supplement Brand on TikTok Shop in 2026

  Sep 17, 202631 min

  TikTok Shop launches are not simply a matter of listing a product and sending samples to creators. In competitive categories, the offer, economics, creator strategy, social proof and launch velocity all have to work together. Jordan West sits down with Matthew Gomes for a consulting-style breakdown of an amino acid supplement brand launching into one of TikTok Shop’s more difficult categories. They unpack how the brand is approaching AOV, bundle strategy and creator acquisition while competing against an established category leader. Matthew also shares the relationship-driven outreach system his team uses to get the attention of high-value creators, including DMs, comments, email and other channels. The conversation also covers supplement compliance, using retail presence as social proof, turning negative reviews into content ideas, increasing purchase frequency through offer positioning, and using Selico to generate the initial sales and reviews needed to get a new TikTok Shop moving. The core lesson: TikTok Shop growth comes from orchestrating the inputs you can control — your offer, margins, creator relationships, content volume and social proof — rather than waiting for a viral moment.
