    The Lifestyle CMO's Impossible Mandate

    You're building a product ecosystem, not just selling SKUs. The audit tests whether gifting, category expansion, and seasonal acquisition produce durable contribution and repeat demand.

    Seasonal demand cliffs killing cash flow
    Low cross-category attach rates
    Gift buyers who never return
    Can't attribute lifestyle content to revenue
    Rising CAC in crowded D2C home market
    Agency fees disconnected from AOV growth
