Mad Engine / TikTok Shop
Scaling TikTok Shop for Licensed Apparel
I took over TikTok Shop as an under-managed sales channel and helped turn it into a creator-led marketplace growth engine for licensed apparel before paid media was live.
I help brands scale by building profitable revenue engines. Over 15+ years, I've led hands-on growth across DTC, subscription, retail, marketplaces, entertainment, fintech, food, fashion, and technology.
Growth Philosophy
Many companies define growth too narrowly. I connect the full customer journey—from demand generation through activation, engagement, and retention—to create long-term value.
| How Growth Is Often Scoped | Connected systemHow I Build Growth | |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition | Paid media and CAC | Paid, organic, partnerships, marketplaces, and brand working as one demand engine |
| Activation | Landing pages and conversion | Turn intent into a first purchase, first action, or clear moment of value |
| Engagement | Campaigns, promotions, and content | Connect lifecycle, merchandising, and product experiences that drive return visits |
| Retention | Email, SMS, and subscriptions | Drive repeat purchase, loyalty, reactivation, reduced churn, and lifetime value |
| Monetization | Topline revenue | Improve AOV, pricing, margin, frequency, channel mix, and unit economics |
| Operations | Separate teams and metrics | Unify strategy, ownership, analytics, forecasting, testing, and reporting |
| Outcome: Local optimization | Outcome: A compounding growth engine | |
Many growth roles optimize individual pieces. I connect the full customer journey.
