Brantive helps Ecommerce and Local businesses scale to 7 & 8-figures through paid search, paid social, and email marketing.

Every ecom marketer has been here.

Meanwhile, the marketing team is just trying to hold it together.

But here’s the truth 
Marketing isn’t about making things look good.
It’s about making things work.

✅ It turns chaos into clarity.
✅ It connects what the product does with what people actually want.
✅ It builds systems that create demand instead of chasing it.

When you treat marketing as design-on-demand, you get noise.
When you treat it as strategy, you get growth. 🚀

Passionate about classic Porsches. I scale brands with paid ads (google, meta, TT shop), and high-converting Ad creatives. $80m+ in sales driven.

This idea completely changed my life…

The Surfer Mentality:

When a surfer gets up on a wave, they enjoy the present moment, even though they know with certainty that the wave will eventually end. 

They fully enjoy THIS wave, with the wisdom and awareness that there are always more waves coming.

The surfer knows that they don't have to ride every single wave that comes their way.

The surfer knows that 90% of the time they won't be riding any wave, but just paddling and waiting. 

They are aware that patience and proper positioning is all that matters for when the next wave inevitably comes.

Finally, the surfer knows that the only way to live is by putting themself out there in the water. 

You can't catch any waves sitting on the shore.

The best ads 

Don't feel like ads 

Pretty much every ad GOAT has talked about this

Including this OG in the advertising world

You need to know him:

Eugene Schwartz

He's a LEGEND in the advertising world.

Why?

Because...

Eugene identified 5 key stages of awareness
(That pretty much every buyer goes through)

🧵 THE 5 STAGES OF AWARNEESS

1. Unaware (don't know they have a problem)
2. Problem Aware (know the problem, not solutions)
3. Solution Aware (know solutions exist)
4. Product Aware (know your product is a solution)
5. Most Aware (ready to buy, need final push)

Your ads need to be designed WITH this funnel in mind.

But...

You need the right ratio of each awareness level in your funnel. Eugene Schwartz documented how cognitive receptivity changes as problem recognition develops

In simpler terms: People are most receptive to messages that connect to problems they already recognize. 

When you match your message to the prospect's awareness level, conversion rates can improve significantly though the exact lift varies depending on your market, offer, and execution.
 
The non science way of saying this is:

People only process messages that connect to problems they already recognize. 

Or

the supppper SIMPLE version:

AKA "explain to me like im 5 years old"

Imagine you have a tummy ache, but you don't know it yet. If someone tries to sell you medicine, you'll ignore them because you don't think you need it

Eugene Schwartz noticed that people go through stages:

1) "I feel fine!" (Don't know there's a problem)
2) "Ow, my tummy hurts!" (Know something's wrong)
3) "I need medicine!" (Know solutions exist)
4) "What's that medicine called?" (Learning about specific options)
5) "I want THAT medicine!" (Ready to buy)

The big idea: You have to talk to people differently at each stage. You can't sell medicine to someone who doesn't know their tummy hurts yet.

Your marketing mix needs to have the right level of creative and spend at each stage in an intelligent level based on what your audience mix is and what stages of awareness your audience are actually at.
