"New PODCAST preview" What Every Brand Needs to Know About 2025 Social Commerce
In this first-ever episode of the Social Commerce Club podcast, the team breaks down a massive shift happening in e-commerce that almost no brand is ready for. TikTok Shop’s explosive Black Friday growth, the rise of 24/7 live streaming, creator-led brands, AI-generated influence, and the death of traditional DTC playbooks — it’s all here.
This conversation uncovers why commerce is becoming entertainment, why authenticity is beating AI, why creator armies are outperforming influencer “faces,” and why the next wave of e-commerce will reward brands who move fast and think differently.
If you're in social commerce, e-commerce, marketing, media buying, or the creator economy… this episode will show you where the future is heading.
