EP49: Content Marketing in eCommerce: Storytelling That Sells

In this episode of the ASOM Pod, hosts Jimmy Kim (CEO of eCom Email Marketer, formally Founder of Sendlane), John Roman (CEO of BattlBox), Amer Grozdanic (CEO of Praella), Bryan MacDonald (Direct of eCommerce at Oma’s Pride) dive deep into one of the most underrated tools in marketing: storytelling. With raw insights and real examples, the crew explores how brands can use human connection, humor, and authenticity to cut through the noise and drive serious results—without always needing a massive ad budget.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why Storytelling Converts: How emotional connection fuels customer loyalty and brand love.
  • Organic > Over-Engineered: Why behind-the-scenes, real content wins over glossy perfection.
  • Platform-Specific Tactics: What’s working (and what’s not) on TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and YouTube.
  • In-House vs. Agency: When to hire an internal content creator and when to outsource.
  • Content Cadence: The pros and cons of high-frequency posting and what consistency really means.
  • Story-Driven Brand Shoutouts: Standout campaigns from brands like Overnight Oats and Moms on Call.


This episode is a tactical guide to building lasting brand resonance in a content-saturated world. If you’re looking to sharpen your content strategy and win with story, this one’s for you.
