Join Brad Friedman and Carolyn Lowe as they discuss the science involved in growing your brand’s profitability selling products on Amazon without ads.

Under Carolyn's leadership, ROI Swift has achieved significant success. It has helped over 150 brands grow profitably and has the ambitious goal of assisting 500 brands in total.

Carolyn's journey from a Fortune 100 company, Dell, to founding her own agency showcases her dedication to helping emerging businesses thrive. She holds a B.S. in Business Administration, is a licensed pilot, and has nine years of advisory board experience at the Austin Airport.
