What does it take to grow a brand on Amazon today?
The rules have changed, and Amazon is now less of a storefront and more of a dynamic ad and data platform.

From selling as a reseller to building a brand and leading an agency, Jayson explains why success now depends on feeding the algorithm, not pitching to buyers.
