Add To Cart Nathan Bush

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by William On and Rob Hango-Zada, Co founders and Co CEO’s of Shippit, a multi carrier shipping software specifically for Ecommerce.  After seeing eye to eye at uni (quite literally) and watching their Attlassian mates do well, the friends decided to get in on the action and launch their own logistics solution. Now, millions of packages are sent with the help of Shippit every month, and the company has expanded beyond Australia and New Zealand to Singapore and Malaysia with revenue of more than $66 million.  In this chat, Will and Rob share how they use data to optimise delivery performance, the pros and cons of brands owning their own fleets and a surprising shipping paradox which has led to the pioneering codeshare solution they have in development.

We have a rule on Add to Cart, that our guests should be very much about Australia and Australian ecommerce.  Today, we’re breaking that rule…the rebels that we are…but with very good reason.  My guest is Eric Siu, Founder of growth marketing agency Single Grain, based in San Francisco.  You will also no doubt know Eric as the host of the hugely successful Marketing School and Leveling Up podcasts which have amassed over 2.1 million downloads every month.  In this chat, Eric shares the tools he uses to get maximum value out of his content, the channels he sees as the ones to watch - we talk Reddit and You Tube - and as well as breaking down programmatic SEO, he gives us his take on the future of search.

Did you carry a water bottle around when you were a kid? Of  course you didn’t.  Unless of course, we have some zoomers listening.  Well, times have changed and whether you prefer a fluoro Frank Green or a pastel Stanley Quencher, most people carry a water bottle these days.  My guest today has taken the hydration trend one step further, adding flavour and nutrients to the mix.  Catherine Dix is Director of Waterdrop Australia, a brand originally started in Europe that came via the US to Aussie shores just last year, selling water bottles plus a range of microdrops to encourage everyone to drink more water.  In this chat Catherine shares how she went from running an agency to running Waterdrop, why being a dealer at The Australian Open was such a good idea and how Australia Day saved the company from a warehouse catastrophe.
