In this episode, Marcelo Kertesz, Chief Marketing Officer of MANSCAPED, reveals how navigating the high-stakes world of political campaigns shaped his creative and marketing strategies. His strategic approach, which won six presidential campaigns, is now being used to transition MANSCAPED from a D2C-first company to an omnichannel powerhouse.

Marcelo discusses the key lessons he took from direct-to-consumer (D2C) marketing, particularly how it fast-tracks challenger brands like MANSCAPED to market. He shares the benefits and challenges of D2C, noting how it allows brands to scale quickly while exposing inefficiencies at higher growth levels. Marcelo explains how balancing performance marketing with long-term brand building is crucial to MANSCAPED’s continued success in digital and retail environments.
