It used to be so tactical, just the way you were media buying. Some of the Meta tactics you were using could go a really, really long way in how you scaled Meta. Now it's almost moved back a step to foundational marketing to succeed on Meta.
- [00:44]
C
There's this like hierarchy of needs, the foundation of success on Meta. It's like a unit economics question. Is there actually enough margin to sustain a reasonable CPA on Meta if you want to win? We were working with this brand. They basically make ceramic to go cups. The thing that fundamentally unlocked their success on Meta was.

It's all killer, no filler. And I'm Eric and it's been such a long time since I've had the boys Nate and Liam on the DTC podcast Got an exciting bit of news today. As I think most people know in the audience, I hope they know that DTC is a project of myself and Pilot House and it's actually an intrapreneurial project where I kind of partnered up with Pilothouse with back in March of 2020 and started making some content with them with the idea that when it became something we started Making our own money, we'd spin it out into its own company. And it's kind of a unique opportunity that we have here at the Pilothouse ecosystem. And it's the exact kind of thing has happened with both Nate and Liam here, who have long been some of Pilothouse's top operators on the socials, on the meta side, and more recently on just the broader marketing side. And now you guys have the opportunity to spin out a company in part partnership with Pilothouse and you're here to tell us about it.
- [02:56]
C
Yeah, it's been a fun 2026. We're back in the agency game here. I think more importantly too, we're back with early stage brands on the E Comm side. And obviously 2019, when pilot host started, that's most of what we were doing. And then progressively you get bigger. And now it's household dtc. And now Nate and I are back in the driver's seat working with, you know, basically going from step zero to one and right back to those, those early stages. So, yeah, it's been super fun.
- [03:31]
A
I don't want to get too, I don't want to be salesy so early in the interview, but it's, it's just a cool opportunity. You guys were working on some of our highest scale accounts over the years. I know from right back, since the first couple years, you guys have been such a huge part of so many brands getting so big that it's pretty cool opportunity for brands that are on the smaller side to get to work with people that have been to those high heights. So who can give me the Marl Bank? First of all, it's called Marl Bank. I don't even think we've said that yet. It's called Marl Bank. So who can give me the hero's journey for Marl Bank?
- [04:01]
B
Funny enough, the name comes from a project that Liam and I were working on with my brother a couple years ago. It was a hunting company. We made hang on Treestands for people who bow hunt primarily. So this was kind of a little bit outside of the Pilothouse realm. Kind of in partnership with Pilothouse, we were building that hunting brand with my brother. Pretty niche, super niche. It was a made in Canada product. We were getting aluminum cut in Ontario. Liam and I flew out to Ontario. We were hand building all of the, all the product, you know, hand painting it, assembling it, doing all the drill holes in the aluminum, all that kind of stuff. So we had kind of a summer of grueling labor and where my brother Lives in Ontario is a small town called Marl Bank. And so we, when we spun out this new, new agency, we kind of wanted to pay homage to that little town that we built that brand in. So that's where the name comes from. Kind of random. Most people won't understand what it is or why we called it that, but funny little backstory there.
- [05:04]
C
Homage to grueling labor.
- [05:06]
A
Yeah, I was just what you want the top media buyers from your company doing, going off to start building metal work with your bare hands. But it's led into this really cool opportunity and maybe just a quick note on why this opportunity has come up. I think it's an interesting one and it relates to D2C as well. Right. Where with D2C we, for the longest time we've been this great inbound lead source for Pilothouse. But what we found over the years after, like the meteoric rise of, of 2021 and 2022, we found that there, I think, because our content, you know, appeals to the full range of DTC founders. There were a lot of beginning and smaller DTC brands who are both listening to the podcast and reading the newsletter. And so it ended up, we ended up sort of Pilothouse ended up tailoring some of its services to smaller and smaller clients. I remember we had the Launchpad and different things like that. And now Pilot House, we've really made a conscious decision to move upmarket. So we've kind of tailored our content in that little way. But that left this real opportunity to work with some of the most exciting up and coming brands, which I know know with both of you guys, that's been your sweet spot, is being able to take brands that are in that small space and really scale them up, up rapidly. So what a cool opportunity.
- [06:18]
B
Exactly.
- [06:19]
C
Yeah.
- [06:19]
B
And I think the, so taking it back a little bit pre building that brand in Marl Bank, Liam and I had built something called, along with a couple other guys at Pilot House, had built something called Launchpad like you, like you just mentioned inside of Pilot House. And so that was a program we had built on the social media side. So mainly meta some TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, the other social platforms, but primarily meta. It was a program built to help, like you just said, that the super early stage brands going from kind of 0 to 1, 1 to 2, that can't really afford to go and pay a big agency to do a bunch of brand work. So we built that program to help those brands get from stage 0 to 11 to 2, 2 to 3 to a place where they could become full service clients for Pilot House. That did really, really well in its first year. But because of what you just talked about, Pilothouse has now made some strategic decisions to move up market and really focus primarily on those later stage brands because they've now built out this big strategy wing of the business and they've got the full omnichannel services. And so much goes into that that they really just want to stay hyper focused on being the best at growing those late stage brands. And so, yeah, like you said, it created an opportunity for us after the sun or the Launchpad program with Sunset to spin out and create another agency, obviously called Marlbank Digital, that really specializes in those, those early stage brands. And like you said, it's where Liam and I cut our teeth. The earliest days of Pilothouse, you know, we were the first couple employees and all we were getting obviously was earlier stage brands, brands that took a shot with, with a couple of guys that were pretty new to the space. And that's kind of the stuff that we were really passionate about back in the day. And so it's really fun to be able to, to now build a company that's super focused on. On that stage of growth has much changed between.
- [08:05]
A
I'm thinking back to just some of the crazy stories you guys had of taking these smaller brands and blowing them up to really high heights. I'm curious when it comes to early stages brands now versus, I don't know, three, four years ago has very much changed in how you guys think and approach, how you scale.
- [08:21]
B
I'll let Liam take the bulk of this, but I think from the highest level, just zooming out, I think the biggest thing is it used to be so tactical. You could just be super tactical and make a huge difference for some of these brands. Just the way you were media buying some of the meta tactics you were using could go a really, really long way in how you scaled Meta. Now it has become so automated. There's a lot of AI integration into the platform. Obviously it's become not that there's not tactics that are important. There are tactics that are really important, but it's almost moved back a step to foundational marketing and just actually doing good marketing. And so we take a little bit of a different approach now with the brands we're working with. I'll let Liam touch on that.
- [09:02]
C
Yeah, like I've heard other people on the podcast say this. I think maybe Raf mentioned this in his pod a couple weeks ago, where it really feels like Traditional marketing, almost like Mad Men style marketing is back. You know, maybe it's especially the case post Andromeda and I think that's only brought it more in this direction. But if we're talking like three or four years ago, just like Nate said, it's like there's a lot of tactical wins to be had and things like choosing the right interest audiences and there's very manual oversight in terms of where meta deployed spend versus now. It's just like so consolidated and algorithmic. And really the way that you target someone is the sentiment of the ads that you're building in the first place. Right. If you want to, you want to target golfers, then you need to lead with a hook that speaks to a golfer and the creative is on the golf course and it's no longer going into pre built audiences and selecting people who have interests in golf clubs and golf courses. Right. I was trying to think about a good way of explaining this because we get these questions all the time with meeting new clients and partners. And you might appreciate this analogy where I like to think about it, where to succeed on Meta, there's this hierarchy of needs basically and the foundation of success on meta. And this part might be more obvious, but it's like a unit economics question where it's literally does your product or service have enough gross margin to sustain a reasonable meta cpa? And again seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many times we come across people who need a three and a half roas to barely break even and that product might not have future cash flows baked into it. And you know, those are just really difficult situations to make work and especially difficult to scale. And so there, there really is like a, a foundational level question around like is there actually enough margin to sustain a reasonable CPA on Meta if you want to win? And the middle part of the hierarchy is like the marketing strategy piece. And I think this is really where Marl bank wins and what we're really good at. What basically I would say most people miss it, is the question of product market fit. Who are you as a brand? What do you stand for? Who do you serve within your space? Right. And I think that a lot of people will do the thing where basically you know, they're, you're making a business plan, you sort of define those characteristics about who you are and who you serve and then you jump to the top of this hierarchy, this pyramid which is creative strategy and all of a sudden all the work that you're doing and it sort of manifests On Meta is iterative tactical creative tests where you're asking yourself, you know, does this hook work better than this hook? Is it static versus like video or red versus blue, etc. And you could spend a shit ton of money and a lot of time in that mode where you, you've had this sort of naive sense of conviction around those product market fit circumstances and you just jump too creative too, too soon. And really like the question you asked, like, what's different and how do you win? I think it's specifically showing up to Meta with an openness to being able to pivot or being wrong about some of those ideas you maybe had about exactly who you serve and how you serve them and structure your campaigns to actually go out and answer those questions. It's really a matter of what are the variables that you're really choosing to
- [12:58]
A
test out and to and as Nate says, have a higher resolution or like a broader focus on it. It makes me think of the amount of podcasts we did on the pilot test, right, where you're sort of testing individual aspects of your ad and trying to forge. And I'm sure there's elements where you're doing that, but it is about moving less into like the button colors, the this, the that. It's more into like the psychological things that are behind why your customers buy.
- [13:23]
C
Oh, 100%. 100%. I can give you like a really quick example that's, that's recent. We were working with this brand. I won't name drop any brands because we haven't gotten permission yet and it's all early. But they basically make ceramic to go cups. So obviously it's sort of novel. Most to go cups are metal or plastic and their ads when we started working with them were really twofold. Basically they had ads that were focused on the visual of the cups. So they're very like pretty cups and they look great. And they also had ads that were centered around this sort of like eco angle and wanting to reduce the amount of single use cups that are going into landfills, which obviously is like an important initiative. The thing that we sort of realized was it was sort of like a too much of an uphill battle to speak to this eco angle. And the solution of someone who habitually uses single use cups is going to switch all the way to this more luxury priced, high end to go cup. And we basically made this campaign that was more. We basically pivoted and did a couple different angle tests. But the thing that fundamentally unlocked their success on Meta was pivoting from talking to people who are using single use cups and going all in on people who already use to go cups. And it became more of like a metal upgrade than it was like a switch from single use to the ceramic option. So you don't feel bad about yourself, you know what I mean?
- [15:04]
A
Yeah, that's a tough ask.
- [15:06]
C
Totally. And so the campaign in that case was, would you use a metal mug at home? And we had this really cool thing where it sort of. We were able to niche down even as far as to go. Like, we really had a lot of ads that worked where we were focusing on people's commute. So it's like you get to actually have this ceramic mug, sort of like a taste of home almost. Right. But it's now part of your commute. You don't have to compromise a lot of, like, metal to go. Cups have that like, metallic aftertaste and stuff versus, you know, like, it's just like we use this saying where it's like finding the path of least resistance to. To fitting into someone's life.
- [15:41]
A
Right.
- [15:42]
C
Like, that is really what we're talking about at this marketing strategy layer. It's when you win with these types of tests, they're like very scalable wins compared to creative seems to be working. And, you know, let's scale it this weekend and it'll be fatigued in eight days from now. You know what I mean?
- [15:59]
A
You guys have a term in your notes here called circumstance testing, which seems like an evolution of what we would call angle testing, because it's like angle testing is sort of like your marketing on a. On a static thing. How does your angle work? But circumstance testing takes into account the avatar, the moment they're in, you know, all of those other elements we're talking about. Is that. Is that. Am I right about. That's what you mean about circumstance testing?
- [16:21]
B
Yeah. And one important note is that the. This doesn't take away from the rest of it. The other things exist deeper inside of the circumstance testing, the. The Persona testing, the higher level stuff that Liam's talking about. So it's. Once you understand those things by using Meta, you can then go and test angles that speak to those people about those circumstances. And then you can go and do your iterative creative testing to get a little bit deeper into that. But what we've adjusted is the start line and the finish line. Instead of going straight into creative testing, straight into the tactics, it's starting with the higher level questions, learning a bunch about our customer, and then getting a little bit deeper in angle and creative testing.
- [17:01]
C
Yeah, maybe like, a good way of putting it, too, is I know Pilothouse has talked a lot about distinction and relevance. That's like, a really important way that brands win. You either have a distinct product, and you might even have a distinct product that is also relevant in the place that you're. You're selling. And I think the way that we see circumstance, it's. It's very, like. It's a very subtle nuance compared to saying things like Personas or angles, but it's. It's really understanding what is actually distinct about the product that you were. You were selling. Right. Like, is it a proprietary technology thing? Is it a. Like a brand style or personality thing? Do you have unique features that other people don't? It's then asking yourself, given those potential distinctions, are there cultural trends or currents that your distinctions might be relevant for? And if you can understand those things really well, you'll then find yourself asking, okay, well, given my distinctions, given how they might be relevant in this community I'm participating in, how might that specifically and even in niche ways fit into someone's life in a really frictionless way? So the ceramics example I gave was the commute, where it was this, like, wow, people really, when they're looking at this product through the lens of this upgrade to their commute, it was a really easy sell compared to all the way at the beginning, which was trying to sell people going to coffee shops to, like, bring this cup with them, and they're not, you know, not even to go cup users in the first place. So it can seem niche.
- [18:37]
B
Right.
- [18:37]
C
But it's really like owning that sometimes very specific way that you actually fit into someone's lifestyle is what. Is what circumstance means to us.
- [18:46]
A
This is great. You mentioned the raft too, because this is like a continuation on that conversation of what it actually means for creative to be your targeting. You know what I mean? So we're just talking about going further down the funnel with a kind of person and then reflecting that in the creative. And that's where you make the sale.
- [19:03]
C
100%. Yeah. Because it's. It's like sometimes brands will. Will find this information, like these things that ultimately work for their products, but they'll do it the other way. Like, they'll spray and pray first, and they'll find that, like, an ad worked, and then maybe through deduction or like reverse engineering, they'll go, oh, wow. Like, we're actually really. We actually really win with golfers in the Pacific Northwest or something. You know what I mean, and it's. They never intended to find that winning circumstance. They just tried a bunch of stuff and something stuck and then they were able to kind of figure it out afterwards. It's more just. That's an expensive way to get there and sometimes you just never end up getting there. Versus the sort of methodical, asking the right questions and really using meta as a testing environment to ask those questions and create signal around them. And again, like, just like you said, we aren't imposing demographic instructions on meta. This is, is really like a. It's the creative, it's the, the copy and the headline. Like that's what makes one ad different versus versus the next one.
- [20:09]
A
I wanted to ask, I was saying I've talked with you guys over the years so much about the technical tactical aspects of meta. How does. What does circumstance look testing look like in a meta account?
- [20:19]
C
Yeah, it's a good question. So there's, I mean, it's not like there's one Right. Structure. It also depends on how much someone's spending. It's more like, I would like to think in most cases that circumstance could be like a campaign level control or an ad set level control. And then maybe within those groupings you can layer in some other components. You could do the, you know, to stick with the ceramic example.
- [20:46]
B
Right.
- [20:46]
C
Like you could speak to. Okay. We're going to have conviction around speaking to people who already use to go cups. So implicit in our messaging is you are a to go cup user. But I might be really interested to say, okay, well, for someone who uses to go cups, we might pick like three or four situations where one of them is they bring it with them to work. One of them is for specifically talking about where they're actually making the coffee and it's still in their, their living room. We can talk about when they're cleaning their to go cup. There's all of these different pieces in their life where this to go cup sort of like finds itself. And sometimes you'd be surprised where like one of those particular interactions actually really resonates when they're viewing your product. And so it's, it's more. The variable is the circumstance. Right. And how you choose to create those campaigns could be, you know, we could talk about that all day.
- [21:47]
B
Right.
- [21:47]
C
It's like, is this Advantage plus? And we have four different Advantage plus campaigns with different ads and it is a one campaign with four ad sets. That's. I don't think there's like a right or wrong way to do it. It's More just adopting this mentality that we're testing at the circumstance level that really moves. Moves the needle. Very cool.
- [22:04]
A
Anything to add there, Nate?
- [22:06]
B
Yeah, I would just say that, like, the. The way we're actually testing it, structure wise, is pretty similar to what we've talked about in the past. I mean, things are pretty consolidated now. We're running to open audiences. The vast, vast majority of the testing that we're going to be doing is at the very top of the funnel. So we're going to be excluding any of our existing audiences just so that we can make sure we're learning with people who have never heard of the brand before versus, you know, maybe mixing that into people who have already heard of the brand. And most of the time, I would say we're doing cbo single ad set, and we'll have multiple ads in it. Testing one of these circumstances. There are times if we're spending a lot more, where maybe we'll break it out into 10 different ad sets and test a circumstance at the ad set level. Different ads in each. Most of the time, we're using some level of control on the creative and the ad copy that we're using. We don't want them to be vastly different, otherwise they're going to impact results as well. So we'll use relatively similar creative or ad copy structures and then testing the variable of circumstance inside of the ad copy or the hook.
- [23:08]
A
One thing I'm hearing and I'm experiencing In both our D2C lead gen account and our agency membership drive is to not really be turning ads off anymore. And to me, it makes sense. Like, when you're creating ads that cover this, like, cornucopia of a user's circumstances, their emotions, their feelings, you want them all to reflect in different ways, and they might all be part of the conversion, even if they don't show up as actually driving the conversion. Is that accurate in your mind?
- [23:39]
B
I'm sure there's. There's some level of that, definitely. I think there are absolutely cases where we'll still turn off ads. There are times where Facebook is still an algorithm and at times it's going to spend a ton of money on something that just doesn't work. There are times where we're going to need to pause ads like that or ads that just aren't getting any spend at all. But yeah, some of the ads that are maybe in the more mediocre stage where they're maybe driving some sales but don't look that great, but they're part of the User journey. They definitely are contributing to other conversions as well. Especially in that middle and bottom of funnel. Top of funnel, not so much.
- [24:10]
C
I would just add like this is why the structure is important too, right? Where it's so common these days where especially if you're running Advantage plus, where one ad will get all of the spend in one ad set, right? And if you're launching 4, 5, 6 ads in an ad set and all of those fall under one, say, circumstance in this conversation, a lot of the time you have to like, that's where the intentionality comes in with how you're building ads in the first place. Where if it's an ad set budget campaign with four circumstances, each ad set has a $25 campaign a day budget. It's really common where you'll see like in each of those four ad sets, each of which might have five ads that all speak to its respective Circumstance, there's like one ad that takes 80% of the spend and all of it in each ad set. And you're really testing like four different circumstances with four different ads. We just look at the distribution of spend. So it's, it's tough, right? Like, it's like knowing those things, like knowing that that happens a lot with, with Meta these days. Like, I think that's why it's generally better to try and not launch too many ads at one time in an ad set and keep it to that like 4 to 6 range because spend just like usually isn't distributed very evenly anymore.
- [25:31]
A
Walk me through. Who wants to work with you? Who, who is your ideal client to work with you at this stage? What stage do they need to be at? And then what does that, what does that look like from your end?
- [25:40]
B
It depends on a couple of things. I mean, we have been working with some pre launch brands, We've done a couple of prelaunch campaigns. We've worked with brands that are kicking off Meta for the first time. I would say the sweet spot, majority of brands we're working with are some 100k sales a month. Most of them aren't doing over 6 figures. Some of them are. Obviously we're very capable of scaling down brands well beyond that, but I think the sweet spot is kind of in that 20 grand a month to 100 grand a month range. Like I said, we've worked with lots of brands that are smaller than that or even pre launch. It just comes down to their level of funding and what they're actually able to invest in at that stage.
- [26:19]
A
And then talk to me just about where, because I assume, you know, you guys obviously have access to all sorts, you know, all different omnichannel platforms. But it sounds like Merle bank, as it stands now is sort of a meta launch shop. Is that accurate and maybe talk about what, what brands need to have on their end to kind of come work with you. Do they need to have their retention dialed or at least some, some retention program built in?
- [26:42]
C
Yeah. So we are meta only right now. The main reason we're meta only at this point in time is the thing we are really looking to specialize at. And what Nate and I are really good at is introducing yourself to people who've never heard of you before on the cold prospecting, cracking that nut that is really hard to crack. And we have just found that Facebook and Instagram advertising is still the best place to go out and conquest and do that difficult thing. The number one thing we're looking for clients to have in place to support meta is email. It's all of the sequencing and flows that come around shopping behavior and having the appropriate pullback series triggers. Yeah, the, the organic piece is important in terms of like, especially if you're like a higher price point item where there's consideration phase and it's, you know, like a single session conversion might be out of the question if you don't have a, like an updated socials experience. Like it's, it's going to be a tough sell. But otherwise like it's, it's basic CRO. It's, you know, do you have a like more important even than website and socials? Like we're really interested in working with people that have products they love and they participate in the space they're selling in. And we love working with founders that came up with products out of the feel of necessity or they wish it existed for them. And we see it all the time where. Right back to the distinction and relevance conversation. It's like the proprietary interest in the brand that you're building. You're building this thing because you wish it existed. That is honestly a very, very common theme with brands that we're seeing winning as opposed to the ones that maybe are more launching a product because they think it's economically viable or it's to make money. The other stuff. And it makes our job easy as marketers when that sort of purpose and passion is genuine. And you know, we, because we share that with what we're doing. Too beautiful.
- [28:51]
A
Anything to add there, Nate, about what, what you're looking for?
- [28:54]
B
We'll often tell brands when we're you know, in that exploratory phase.
- [28:59]
C
The.
- [28:59]
B
The four main things just kind of foundational that they should be focusing on in these really early stages are having a decent website, having a decent setup on email. So having flows going where people who abandon their checkouts are going to get an email, having some existence on social media. Like Liam said, it doesn't need to be anything crazy, but being active in some capacity on Instagram and on Facebook, that's going to go a long way. And then number four is Meta. Meta is the place where you can learn a ton about your customer and what problem it's solving, your product is solving for those customers and how to best sell to those customers. So I think with those four things, most brands can be in a place to set themselves up for success. We often are working with brands who are creating their ad account on Meta for the first time. So none of that is really necessary to work with us. But I would say just kind of those other three pillars we handle the fourth obviously are pretty important to get started on Meta.
- [29:58]
A
So having a good website is really important. So where should people reach you? I know you don't have a website yet. I'm just sandbagging you. I know you don't have a website yet.
- [30:07]
B
We don't even have a website yet.
- [30:11]
C
But it's coming soon. What do you mean it's coming soon?
- [30:13]
A
You guys are so busy knocking out great results for clients. So let's just have people email you if they want to work with you. Right.
- [30:20]

M A R L B A N K doco. All right, we're all Colombian domains here in the Pilothouse group of companies. I hope they never repatriate their domains because we've got a lot of dot cos. Uh, this is the first of many. Guys, this was a really solid first podcast for your new business that you're building here. Next time we'll talk more about how a startup agency is using AI, because I think that's something that I think a lot of people would be interested in. I know you guys are have some AI enabled systems, but we'll leave it there for today. Hope I made you guys look good as always. You guys do it yourself. You're in the forest. I'll let you get back to your lumberjacking, Nate.
