In this week's podcast, I sit down with Robert who has been in the Ecom game since 2017, running ads before most people even knew what dropshipping or ecommerce was, and scaling million-dollar brands internationally long before UGC became the industry’s favourite buzzword.
Today he’s running a 7-figure agency, pioneering a new commission-only model, and helping brands win on Meta using a creative system most marketers don’t even know exists.
In this week’s episode, we break down:
• Why creative diversity is the new unfair advantage, how to test hooks, angles, and personas the right way, and how this simple system helps you find winning ads faster
• How he uses AI to save time by generating new ideas, new angles, and new versions of ads without falling into the “robot-looking content” trap
• The commission-only model that lets clients scale without paying a single dollar upfront
• The most common mistakes he sees inside ad accounts and the simple fixes that instantly improve performance
• How he built a lifestyle across Amsterdam, Dubai, Barcelona, and Miami while staying consistent in business
• What he’s learned about building a successful agency, achieving financial and location freedom, and staying sharp in an industry that changes every month
If you want to learn the strategies brands are using right now to grow fast and stand out in a crowded market, this episode is a must-watch. Robert breaks everything down in a simple, actionable way.
