How This Founder Used Socioh To Scale 3X During A Pandemic
As the hands-on founder of 99 Strikes Fishing Co and committed dad, Josh Hettinger is a busy man.
Having tried several âtime-consuming and difficult-to-use DIY apps to run adsâ, he shifted to Socioh in March 2022, and hasnât looked back since.
He even had to add extra warehouse space and hire more staff to keep up with orders â all during a pandemic.

5 Essential Takeaways From Metaâs Performance Marketing Summit
Tuesday saw Metaâs much-anticipated Performance Marketing Summit in SF.
Couldnât make it there?
Hereâs a thread by @AaronJNosbisch if youâre feeling left out! And hereâs another by @iamshackelford that goes over some key announcements.
TL;DR?
Hereâs everything you REALLY need to know about whatâs coming:
ASC (or Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns): Meta is pushing AI in campaigns, and de-emphasizing audiences to let advertisers focus on creatives â we all knew this was coming!
More Adv+ controls: Meta is pushing Adv+ across the board. This means audience, catalog, placements, etc. so that advertisers can push whichever AI levers they want.
P.S. Canât keep track of everything Adv+? Use our handy guide.Reels: Meta is soon launching music optimization for reels, in addition to allowing bugger CTAs (yay!) and âwatch and browseâ options
Creator/Partner Ads: Native content to get more visibility, with organic boosts via mentions and tags.
Catalog: Videos in catalogs, greater customization controls, etc.
Which are you most excited about? Weâre rooting for videos in catalogs!
The Easy Guide To Adding UTMs To Your TikTok Ads
No longer the new kid on the block, TikTok has fast turned into a reliable channel for marketing.
With lots of room to experiment and create viral content, the channel is gaining popularity with advertisers and founders.
But here comes the problem.
If youâre running ads on multiple platforms, how do you reliably track which channel is bringing you sales?
And the confusion only increases with more volume.
This is where UTMs can help.
Adding UTMs to your Tiktok ads can help you pinpoint which campaign(s) influenced a sale.
Hereâs a step-by-step guide to adding UTMs to your TikTok ads.
#FeaturedAd - Huel
Brand: Huel
Category: Food & Beverage
Format: Single Image (Feed)
WHY IT WORKS:
How many times have you skimmed over ads advertising healthy meal plans thinking theyâd be unaffordable?
This ad by Huel doesnât shy away from addressing their shoppersâ most-pressing concern right up top.
By showing shoppers exactly how much each meal will cost, Huel does two things at once:
Get the right audience into the funnel â youâll click on the ad only if the numbers look affordable.
Take away the initial resistance to make their product look a lot more accessible.
And if you needed more convincing, the great graphics and benefits highlighted pack a punch too.

#BrandedCatalog Spotlight - Gesso
Brand: Gesso
Category: Fashion & Jewelry
Template type: 2-variation template for product images with different dimensions
WHY IT WORKS:
A minimalist template that showcases the storeâs beautiful photos and branding.
The template has 2 variations â square and vertical â so that images of different dimensions are perfectly fitted automatically.
Cut-price and âOn Saleâ labels are used to convey value and create FOMO.
Always get perfectly-fitted products in your catalog ads â no more cropped heads or white bars. Learn more about Branded Catalogs here.
