A 300-person marketplace operation, built and sold to Carbon6.
Robert and Lee founded Seller Investigators, scaled it to 300 people recovering reimbursements for marketplace brands, and exited to Carbon6. Engin8 is the same operating discipline applied to the whole channel.
Built like an in-house team. Priced like it isn’t.
Every account is led by an experienced marketplace operator responsible for priorities, decisions and outcomes.
Senior operators, not account coordinators.
Every account is led by an experienced marketplace operator responsible for priorities, decisions and outcomes. Specialists are assigned to the workstreams in your scope, and you keep one accountable lead across the channel.
01
AI-enabled workflows
AI accelerates monitoring, analysis and repetitive execution while experienced operators retain control of strategy and approvals.
Every decision operator-approved
02
Two channels, one forecast
TikTok creates the demand. Amazon captures it. Amazon’s search data decides what goes back into TikTok. One pod runs both sides of that loop against a single plan.
Amazon buys a decision on the product page. TikTok buys attention in three seconds. Same brand, two entirely different jobs — which is why the creative for each is built separately and planned together.
On Amazon
The product page has to close the sale on its own
Main image stack Hero, scale shot, in-use and the detail that answers the question a shopper would otherwise leave to check.
A+ Content module Comparison, ingredients, sizing — the objections that generate returns, handled before checkout.
Brand Store A landing page for branded traffic that sells the range, not just the one ASIN.
Product video Fifteen seconds inside the gallery, built to be understood with the sound off.
TikTok creates the demand. Amazon captures it. The data decides what happens next.
Running both channels is not the same as connecting them. Reusing a video on two platforms is a production saving. This is a demand system, and it is the reason a brand ends up ahead of competitors who bought the same two services separately.
01
TikTok creates the demand
Creator content and LIVE selling put the product in front of people who were not searching for it yet. Brand and category demand gets manufactured, not harvested.
02
Amazon captures it
That demand lands as branded search. The listing, the price and the review count decide how much of it converts instead of leaking to a competitor.
03
Rank and reviews compound
Conversion velocity lifts organic rank, rank lifts volume, volume lifts review count. The advantage builds on itself for as long as the loop keeps turning.
04
Search data aims the next round
Amazon search terms, conversion rates and price sensitivity tell us which hooks, products and price points to push back into TikTok. The loop closes.

Amazon search data aims the next round of TikTok content
Two agencies, or one agency with two teams
✕Separate teams who meet on a shared call, if at all.
✕Separate reporting, so nobody can attribute the lift to the cause.
✕Separate strategies, each optimising its own channel's number.
✕Two forecasts that never reconcile, and an inventory plan built on neither.
One Engin8 pod
✓One operator accountable for both channels.
✓One report where the TikTok spend and the Amazon lift sit on the same page.
✓One strategy, because the channels are inputs to each other.
✓One forecast, and one inventory plan that both channels are held to.
One view of what is happening, and what happens next.
Monitor marketplace performance, active work, testing and priorities through one transparent operating platform built into every Engin8 engagement.
