After Prime Day: Turning Data into Profitable Amazon Growth

jeudi 13 août 2026 • Durée 58:08

What did this year's earlier, four-day Prime Day really tell established Amazon brands?

Our Beyond the Listings panel - with brand-side insight from USN - gets into reading post-event data properly: flexible ad budgets over set-and-forget, conversion and retail-readiness signals, remarketing to Prime Day browsers, putting non-hero SKUs to work and how mini-peaks like back-to-school fit a smarter 12 month calendar.

~~~~~

Prime Day gives established Amazon brands a concentrated view of shopper demand, traffic quality, advertising performance and product-level opportunity.

But the real commercial value comes after the event, when brands take the data and turn it into better decisions so, in this Beyond the Listings session, our panel unpacks what this year's Prime Day actually told brands - and how to act on it.

Across the hour, the panel covers when to increase, hold or pull back ad spend and why flexible budgeting beats a set-and-forget approach; how to read conversion and retail-readiness signals when traffic arrives but doesn't convert; remarketing to Prime Day browsers and buyers to keep momentum going; benchmarking against competitors when Amazon gives you little to work with; and how mini-peaks like back-to-school - now a confirmed Amazon Tier 1 event - fit into a smarter twelve-month promotional calendar.

It’s Venture Forge’s classic strategic Amazon perspective teamed up with brand-side insights from USN.

On the panel:

* Travis Chappell - Head of Operations, Venture Forge (host)

* Emma Pickard - Head of Client Services, Venture Forge

* Mike Godsiff - Head of Advertising and Media, Venture Forge

* PJ van Rooyen - Head of E-commerce and Brand, USN

Licensed to Sell: How Brands Turn IP into Amazon Growth

dimanche 28 juin 2026 • Durée 58:32

Licensed brand growth on Amazon can look like a major opportunity, but it becomes harder to control when licensors, licensees, sellers and product categories are not commercially aligned.

In this episode of Beyond the Listings, our panel explores how licensed brands can turn IP into Amazon growth by creating a more joined-up customer experience, stronger brand control and clearer commercial ownership.

For established brands operating seriously on Amazon, the challenge is rarely just getting products listed. More often, it is whether the brand is being represented consistently across the channel, whether official products are easy to find, whether Brand Registry and content ownership are set up correctly, and whether licensors have enough visibility of what is really happening on Amazon.

From fragmented brand stores and grey market products to licensee collaboration, retail merchandising principles and Amazon data, this episode looks at the practical changes licensors and licensees can make to protect the brand, improve the customer journey and create stronger commercial outcomes.

Whether you are a licensor, licensee, Vendor, Seller or hybrid brand, this episode offers practical insight into how licensed brands can approach Amazon with more structure, clarity and commercial control.

Here’s what we cover:

Why licensed brands often become fragmented on Amazon
The difference between licensors, licensees and their role in Amazon growth
Why Amazon rewards sellers, not brands
How retail merchandising principles can improve the Amazon customer journey
Why brand stores should not be treated as set-and-forget assets
How grey market products and rogue sellers can damage brand value
Why Brand Registry and content ownership can become complex for licensed IP
How licensors can use Amazon data to spot category gaps and growth opportunities
Why licensees need clearer standards, guidelines and commercial support
How better collaboration can help licensors, licensees and consumers win
Why Amazon should be treated as a major brand window, not just another sales channel

Plan Going Global on Amazon: How Brands Expand Across Markets

lundi 1 juin 2026 • Durée 56:36

International Amazon growth can look like a major opportunity, but expansion becomes harder to control when the commercial and operational foundations are not ready to scale.

In this episode of Beyond the Listings, our panel explores what established brands need to consider before expanding across Amazon markets.

For brands already operating seriously on Amazon, the challenge is rarely just launching in another territory. More often, it is whether the business is ready to manage the pricing, fulfilment, compliance, localisation, advertising investment and margin pressure that comes with international growth.

Whether you run Vendor, Seller or a hybrid model, this episode offers practical insight into how brands can approach Amazon expansion with more structure, clarity and commercial control.

Here’s what we cover:

Why international expansion is not just about turning listings on
How to assess whether a new market is commercially viable
What operational challenges brands need to plan for
How localisation affects trust, conversion and customer experience
Why advertising investment matters when entering a new market
How to protect margin as complexity increases
Why data should guide market selection, but not replace commercial judgement

Featuring:

🎙 Andy Banks – CEO, Venture Forge

🎙 Emma Pickard – Head of Seller Services, Venture Forge

🎙 Matthew Wilson – Business Systems and Online Manager, Rainbow Designs

🎙 Gareth Oaten – European Sales Director, Ecommerce, Sharp Consumer Electronics Europe

The Amazon Capability Blueprint: Building a Function That Delivers Performance

jeudi 21 mai 2026 • Durée 56:36

Amazon growth often becomes harder to sustain long before performance actually drops.

In this episode of Beyond the Listings, our panel explores what happens when the opportunity on Amazon outpaces the structure, ownership and capability around it.

For established brands already operating seriously on Amazon, the issue is rarely demand. More often, it is whether the internal function has been built to support the pace, complexity and commercial pressure that comes with scale.

Whether you run Vendor, Seller or a hybrid model, this episode offers practical insight into how stronger Amazon capability supports better performance.

Here’s what we cover:

- The capability gaps that hold Amazon teams back

- Why more headcount does not always improve performance

- What strong Amazon functions look like as brands scale

- Where internal ownership matters most

- Where external support can accelerate progress- How better alignment across finance, marketing, ops and supply chain improves execution

Featuring:

🎙 Josh McNeice – Growth Director, Venture Forge

🎙 Emma Pickard – Head of Seller Services, Venture Forge

🎙 Patrick Murray – Amazon Recruitment Director, 3Search

🎙 James Prewitt – VP of E-commerce, Paladone

Strategic Growth on Amazon: Your 2026 Plan

lundi 2 février 2026 • Durée 01:00:53

Amazon growth doesn’t happen by accident. By the time most brands react, budgets are set, stock is locked in, and teams are already stretched. In this episode of the Venture Forge Podcast, our panel breaks down what real planning for Amazon growth in 2026 looks like—and where brands commonly get it wrong.

From using historical data properly to avoiding stock and resourcing pitfalls, this session is a practical conversation about building a plan that can actually be executed, not just approved.

Whether you’re a 1P Vendor or 3P Seller, you’ll walk away with clear, commercial insights to help you plan, prioritise, and scale on Amazon. Here’s what we cover:

- What an effective Amazon growth plan for 2026 really looks like

- Using historical performance and market data to build a roadmap

- Learning from category leaders and fast-moving challenger brands

- Why stock availability is still the biggest growth blocker on Amazon

- Forecasting, capacity constraints, and avoiding costly stockouts

- Team structure: why one “Amazon person” isn’t scalable

- In-house vs agency support and when each makes sense

- Operational discipline: walking the shop and fixing friction early

- Amazon-specific products, bundles, and exclusives as margin levers

- DSP and retail media in context (and why they won’t fix weak fundamentals)

- How to stay strategic while managing constant reactive issues

🎙 Andy Banks – CEO, Venture Forge

🎙 Travis Chappell – Head of Vendor Services, Venture Forge

🎙 Emma Pickard – Head of Seller Services, Venture Forge
