5x GMV growth for clients

Demand Generation for Social Commerce Startups

Demand Gen for Social Commerce isn't the same as Demand Gen for any other vertical. Your buyers are different. Your proof points are different. Your sales cycle is different. Cactus Marketing has worked with 5x GMV growth for clients— so we come pre-loaded with the playbooks that work in your market, not ones we'll figure out on your dime.

Live shopping, social-native storefronts, creator commerce, and shoppable content platforms. For Social Commerce companies, effective Demand Gen means directly addressing your biggest marketing challenges: Platform dependency risk and Creator partnership management. That's where most generic agencies fail — they bring the same approach regardless of vertical. We don't.
