Had a wonderful time speaking at the Fab Co-Creation Studio Ventures annual meeting last week in LA all things AI, TikTok Shops, social commerce & community-driven marketing for Brands. ๐ Shout out to Odile Roujol for hosting and Shamin Walsh of BAM Ventures for moderating! ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ท๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น, ๐ต๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐-๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด. ๐ 67% of Gen Z consumers aged 17-24 start their product searches on social. It's critical for Brands not only to have a presence but also to ensure it reflects an engaged, authentic community. Signals like who's talking, what they're saying, and how you're responding publicly across various platforms are crucial. โฐ Social platforms are also where Gen Z spends an average of 3-4 hours daily! (Statista) โ the vast majority (and growing) of this time being in DMs, not on feeds or other surfaces where ads traditionally live. If you don't have a game plan to stay on top of and engage with your fans creatively 1:1 on social channels, you're missing out. ๐๏ธ Meta is the biggest social commerce player in terms of buyers, but TikTok has more users who are buyers. At least 40% of TikTokers are projected to make a purchase on the platform this year. The next challenge for brands is to turn these buyers into loyal, repeat customers. TikTok subsidizing helps pump up the platform but also leads to volatility in sales, even in categories like Beauty. ๐ฑ Amanda Schutzbank of Willow Growth Partners shared that the brands they've observed growing the most quickly have tapped into building communities, often leveraging social platforms to supercharge their growth. More on this in my future posts! If you're interested in tapping into an AI first platform to grow your social community engagement and connect it to sales impact (something that has traditionally been seen as upper funnel), let's chat ๐ฌ.

Building in AI is fun but it's even better when you get to share it with a ๐ฅ audience... Farah and I were in NYC Tuesday for NYFT Demo Day presenting a preview (more to come!) of Nectar's AI Community Commerce platform to a 200+ audience of brands, retailers, and investors. Alongside some trailblazing women-founded companies (Katy at Curated For You, Cheryl at Raspberry AI, Manvitha at Flock AI, Camille at Fairly Madeยฎ, and Alex at Yofi), we revealed how Nectar AI drives CAC reductions, headcount $$$ savings, and scales customer responses. ๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐: ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ, ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐... ๐ญ\ De-anonymize who is engaging with your content across social to stores and personalize, segment and retarget how and where they want. What's out: being at the mercy of paid ads, highly unstable CACs, and not knowing anything about your community. ๐ฎ\ Supercharge their existing marketing teams with our AI copilot and autopilot built exclusively for social platforms to manage customer comments, DMs, Influencers, UGC, moderation & more in a consistent brand voice. What's out: Pain and $$$ cost around managing a small army of social media interns and community managers to maintain engagement 24/7. ๐ฏ\ Measure true ROI of social, which content and engagements convert the best, and where to double down. What's out: Anonymous traffic coming from Meta and TikTok, where a whopping 48%+ of your customers are discovering your products. Nectar is a true social inbox, revenue data platform, and AI copilot all in one. If you're a community-driven brand or aspire to be one, we've got you! Stay tuned as I share more about what's top of mind for brands and for us. Special thank you to Jackie T. at New York Fashion Tech Lab for putting this opportunity on our radar and working behind the scenes to make this all happen!
