Masterclass Wrap Up ✨

ClickZ had the inside track at Fospha’s SXSW Masterclass series, where industry leaders unpacked the biggest challenges — and opportunities — shaping eCommerce in 2025. Here are the top takeaways:

  1. The Amazon Measurement Struggle Is Real — But Now Solvable: At the Halo Masterclass, brands shared how they’ve struggled to measure the impact of off-platform ads on Amazon sales — a consistent challenge we’ve heard across the industry. Fospha’s latest research introduced Unified ROAS, a game-changing metric that connects external ad spend with Amazon performance for the very first time.

  2. There’s More Headroom on TikTok and Snapchat Than You Think: Sessions with TikTok and Snap experts revealed that there’s still huge untapped potential for brands on these platforms. Full-funnel strategies, creative best practices, and better targeting are key — and data-driven approaches are already driving real results.

  3. It's Time to Quantify the Power of Brand-Building: Upper-funnel investment can’t be ignored — but it also needs to be justified. Fospha’s data shows how to connect brand investment with business impact, making brand-building a measurable growth driver rather than a leap of faith.

📌 Like what you’re reading? There’s more to come. Fospha continues the Masterclass series at Shoptalk Spring (March 25–27, Las Vegas) with sessions on Amazon measurement, TikTok, Snapchat, Applovin, and measuring brand impact.
