About this event
Planning your 2026 Amazon growth shouldn’t just mean “more ads and hope for the best.”
In this session, Venture Forge CEO Andy Banks is joined by Travis Chappell (Head of Vendor), Emma Pickard (Head of Seller), and Ross Haswell (Amazon Retail Lead, Pooch & Mutt) to break down what a real 2026 Amazon growth plan looks like – from data and forecasting to stock, NPD, media and team structure.
You’ll get both agency and brand-side perspectives on how to scale Amazon profitably, not just grow top-line.
We’ll cover:
- What a practical, effective 2026 Amazon plan looks like (beyond a sales target and media budget)
- How to use data and market insight to set forecasts and choose your “big bets” with confidence
- The operational levers that actually drive growth – stock, availability, NPD, pricing and compliance
- How to structure your Amazon team and partners – in-house roles vs agency, and why “one Amazon person” isn’t enough
- Where DSP, Sponsored Ads and full-funnel media fit into a profitable 2026 plan
- How to stay strategic when Amazon throws you surprises – and what to prioritise when it does
Register now to secure your place and sharpen your 2026 Amazon plan.
