Delighted to have Oli Hills, CEO of Nonsensical, joining us for From Launch to Scale on TikTok Shop.
Nonsensical is an official TikTok Shop partner agency, with a team of around 45 specialists running shop operations, creator and affiliate programmes, organic content and paid media for clients ranging from national retailers and listed brands through to independent sellers taking their first product live.
TikTok Shop has become a serious revenue line for UK sellers, but it rewards a different set of behaviours to Amazon. Drawing on experience scaling brands to 7 figures on the platform, Oli will give you a strategic framework for scaling once you're live β covering the creator and affiliate programme, sampling, live shopping, and paid amplification, and how they work together rather than in isolation.
He'll also cover the common failure points, from underpricing to treating creators as a media buy rather than a managed programme.

Delighted to have Or Shamosh joining us for Amazon Suspends the Story It Believes.
Here's an uncomfortable truth: Amazon doesn't suspend sellers based on intent β it suspends based on what its systems think is happening. Or will break down how Amazon's AI interprets listings, keywords, images, reviews, and seller behaviour, and why that interpretation is so often wrong.
Expect real cases where a single word β like "antibacterial" β or a hidden listing field quietly changed a product's "story" and triggered enforcement. Or will also unpack how competitors exploit these weaknesses through black-hat tactics designed to push Amazon toward the wrong conclusion.
This session is about prevention: making your listing and operations hard to misunderstand, so you reduce suspension risk before Amazon ever flags you. You'll leave with a practical checklist to audit listings and spot risk signals early.

Delighted to have Neil Curtis joining us for Amazon Japan: The Opportunity, the Reality and Why Brands Fail.
Amazon Japan is one of the world's largest marketplaces, but entering it is nowhere near as simple as translating a successful UK or US listing. Neil will examine why established brands often arrive with unrealistic expectations and struggle despite having good products, advertising experience, and strong sales elsewhere.
Expect a practical breakdown of the real barriers β compliance, importing, localisation, pricing, inventory, advertising, and building trust with Japanese shoppers. Neil will also show why success in another country doesn't automatically translate into awareness or authority in Japan.
Using real examples of launches that worked, stalled, or failed, this session will help you judge whether Japan genuinely suits your business, and what level of commitment it actually takes. You'll leave with a commercially realistic framework for assessing, launching, and growing on Amazon Japan.
