For an apparel or accessories label selling direct, the bottleneck is specific: a drop lives or dies in 48 hours and one account reaches a sliver of your market in that window.

What do I have to do?

Supply your movement, fit-and-squat-test and lifestyle content and direction. TIDE runs the fleet, and you watch return on ad spend improve as owned reach scales past what one account could ever do.
