Claude for Commerce: Marketing & Growth Edition
A free monthly series for the people working in ecommerce and retail. Each edition takes one function of the business - operations, finance, marketing, trading, customer service - and gets into how Claude is actually being used there by people doing the job.
This is Edition 2: Marketing & Growth.
You've got Claude. Your marketing team is probably using it. The question is whether it's just speeding up the work you already do, or actually changing how the function runs.
Most teams stop at the chat window. They use Claude to draft ad copy, summarise campaign reports, brainstorm content ideas. That is useful, but it’s is not transformational.
The teams getting real growth value have gone further. They have connected Claude to the platforms their marketing runs on. They have started questioning whether the martech stack they have been stitching together for years is even necessary anymore, or whether AI can do the job of half of it. They have given their people direct access to the data and systems that used to require five different logins and a data team to interpret.
This session is about what that looks like in practice - inside a growth & marketing function, at a real consumer brand.
What this is
Part workshop, part podcast. Tim Richardson, CEO of ROIROI and host of Offcuts, and Lucy Davis, Chief Solutions Officer at ROIROI, open the session with a practical framework for where Claude sits inside a commerce business and how to think about moving beyond basic usage.
Then we bring in Jamie Smithson, Director of Growth at With Nothing Underneath, to share his knowledge and experience of using Claude inside the business.
What we'll cover
The difference between using Claude and using Claude well. Where most marketing teams are today, and what the next level actually looks like in practice.
Chat vs Cowork vs Claude Code. Three different tools, three different use cases. Most people default to chat - we break down when each one is the right call, and why it matters specifically for a growth function.
Skills. What they are, why they change what Claude can do for your business, and how Jamie has applied them inside With Nothing Underneath.
Replacing the martech stack. A direct look at which tools in a typical marketing stack can realistically be replaced by AI today, which can't, and how to think about the tradeoffs.
A live conversation with Jamie. Real workflows, what's surprised him, what hasn't worked, and what he'd do differently if he started again.
Your questions, answered. When you register we ask you one question: what do you most want to understand about using Claude inside your business? Your answers shape the session.
Jamie has spent his career building growth and marketing functions from the ground up, most recently leading digital marketing and e-commerce at Heidi Klein and founding his own agency, Elgen. He is now applying that experience to a live, active question inside With Nothing Underneath: can AI replace large parts of the martech stack?
