What if your agency published every opinion, every framework, and every strategy they use to grow your brand? That's exactly what CTC just did.
The Canon is a decade of ecommerce methodology distilled into seven categories: technology, forecasting, marketing measurement, Meta advertising, Google advertising, email strategy, and creative strategy. It's not a pitch deck. It's the actual operating system behind how CTC grows 170+ ecommerce brands.
In this episode, Taylor Holiday walks through why codifying methodology changes everything, how The Canon updates itself through live testing across hundreds of brands, and why the way you evaluate agencies is about to fundamentally shift.
Topics covered:
What The Canon is and why methodology needs to be written down
How CTC's methodology updates in real time through aggregate testing
Why evaluating agencies by individual talent is an outdated framework
The role of AI in deploying institutional methodology at scale
Frontier methodology: catalog strategy, affiliate creative, TikTok Shops
How brands should codify their own methodology for better partner outcomes
Why publishing methodology for scrutiny is a competitive advantage
