The roast
Kody says he spent six years in college to scrape by, which is actually a masterclass in his personal brand: putting in the maximum amount of time to achieve the absolute minimum level of success. He has 28,000 followers, yet his engagement rate is 0.33 percent, proving that even his audience knows the content isn't worth reading. Nord Media isn't a performance marketing agency; it’s a vanity project where the only thing being converted is Kody’s spare time into digital noise.
About Kody
A little more about me for all of my current & soon to be followers 🤝 This is where I impress you right!? First off - thank you for visiting my profile, following me and joining me through this wild experience while I try to figure shit out. It’s absolutely crazy to me how many different people have followed me over the last year and have engaged with my content + reached out to build friendships. I love connecting with new people and learning their stories. You may not know me officially yet but – maybe you’ve seen me around or you heard about me. So now… a little more about me 🤷♂️ 👋 I’m Kody - a barely “C” student who struggled throughout high-school and college but managed to scrape by after 6 long years in college. I could never figure out what I wanted to do or what I wanted to be when I grew up (still haven’t lol). I stumbled into the realm of marketing around 8 or 9 years ago and have been figuring out what I like and what I’m good at. I’ve worked as a marketing specialist, retention manager, growth marketer, growth manager, head of growth and now agency / brand owner. During my “free” time I enjoy going to the movies, playing video games or hanging with my wife (Ali) & dog (Goose). A little about my career and my accomplishments 👇 Years 1 & 2: Marketing specialist (Very basic stuff) Years 3 & 4: Retention Manager - Generated over $400M in email revenue and ran a team of 30 🤯 Years 4 & 5: Growth Marketer / Growth Manager (Directly Managed $15M in ad-spend and grew 2 brands roughly 400% year over year) Year 6 → Now: Head of Growth → Agency Owner → Brand Owner (Have in total directly managed over $200M in ad-spend, generated $650M+ in email revenue and have grown 7 brands into 9 figures, 17 into 8 figures) + many more into 6/7 figures annually. Was all of this where I thought I would be? Absolutely not… not even close lol… I always say I was able to combine a lot of luck with a lot of hard work and work ethic to achieve the results you see today. So why am I sharing so much now? I’ve come to enjoy sharing my learnings and helping others who want to grow their business, start a brand, agency or improve their career. Back in October 2023 I decided to start focusing on building a personal brand on Twitter / LinkedIn / Instagram and in January 2024 this all compounded and built Nord Media.

In June we budgeted for a reporting analyst. Three months later, we still haven't hired one. The job still gets done every day and nobody on the team stays up late to cover it. I run a growth agency for DTC brands with a team of 14, and we brought on Viktor as an AI employee to cover part of that role. My first move was to test him on something small and low risk. Small is exactly what we got back. For the first three weeks, he pulled our weekly spend numbers. Someone got an hour back here and there, and I was still planning to make the hire. So we tried again and gave him the whole role

We’re taking on 1 more brand for Q4: Clients that typically scale the best with us: - Spending $100k/month + - Internal creative head or engaged founder - Ability to support aggressive growth - Willingness to try new things (offers, creative, strategy etc…) If this sounds like you and want to see if we’re a good fit - shoot me a dm or comment below 🤝

If you truly believe you can’t make Meta work you likely don’t have a business worth investing time into. Every single DTC brand I’ve met has been able to make Meta work. Even those with impossible issues (heavy shipping, low margin etc…) but they’ve all made Meta work. There is someone out there who wants to buy what you’re selling; you simply need to find the creative and the offer that aligns with their desire to purchase.
