Practice Areas

Three disciplines. One integrated practice.

Most consultancies specialize in one lane. We sit at the intersection of digital, marketing, and commerce — because that's where the real growth opportunities live. Each engagement is informed by all three.

🖥️

Digital Consulting

Digital transformation, platform strategy, technology architecture, and 0-to-1 product development. We've re-platformed Fortune 500 brands, stood up first-ever digital channels, and built products that created entirely new categories. We know what it takes to go from idea to live, at scale, with a board watching.

Marketing Consulting

Brand strategy, demand generation, performance marketing, and customer acquisition built around measurable outcomes. We've led marketing for brands from startup to enterprise — and we know the difference between marketing that looks good in a deck and marketing that moves the revenue line. P&L accountable, always.

eCommerce Consulting

End-to-end eCommerce strategy and execution across Shopify Plus, VTEX, and TikTok Shop. From new channel launches and platform migrations to conversion optimization and full managed operations — we've built over $40M in new commerce revenue from zero and brought every engagement to a measurable ROAS.

Conagra's First DTC Site — Sold Out in 1 Hour
  • Built VML's enterprise commerce practice from zero — establishing the agency as a leading North American VTEX systems integrator and Shopify Plus partner, generating $40M+ in new business over nine years.
  • Launched ADT's first-ever DTC channel, taking it from zero to $1M/month. Improved conversion from 3% to 5% in year one through CRO, personalization, and checkout optimization.
  • Led H Mart's seven-month VTEX re-platform across 90+ stores — one of the most complex grocery commerce migrations in North America.
  • As Chief Product Officer at LegalShield, launched 14 products in 18 months, created IDShield from scratch (10× sales growth), and delivered 100% conversion lift with −20% CAC across a full digital re-platform.
  • Conagra's first DTC site (Duncan Hines × Dolly Parton) — built in six weeks, sold out in one hour.
  • Director-level digital strategy for Ford, GM, Subaru, Chrysler, Nissan, and Lincoln across multiple agencies — building the analytics and digital infrastructure that now underpins those brands' digital presence globally.

Not AI-flavored. AI-native.

We embed AI into every engagement — not as a novelty, but as operational infrastructure. Custom agents, purpose-built tools, and AI-assisted workflows that make our consulting faster, more precise, and more scalable than a traditional firm.

  • Custom AI agents built on frontier LLMs that automate research, competitive analysis, content generation, and reporting — cutting weeks of analyst work to hours.
  • Proprietary tool development: we build and deploy purpose-specific AI tools for clients rather than handing them generic copilot subscriptions. Tools built to solve real operational problems, owned by the client.
  • AI-powered commerce diagnostics — including Shelf Analyzer, which simulates how AI shopping agents evaluate and rank your products versus competitors, and returns a prioritized fix list.
  • AI-assisted CRO and personalization: behavioral models, predictive segmentation, and dynamic merchandising that go beyond rules-based logic into real machine learning.
  • Internal AI operations: we use agents ourselves for every engagement — competitive intelligence, market research, content briefs, and performance analysis — passing the efficiency directly to clients through better outputs at lower cost.
The Ecosystem

A consultancy backed by products we built ourselves.

Mack and Fairview isn't just a consulting firm — we're a product company that consults. That means our advice is backed by live technology we've built, shipped, and are actively growing. We eat our own cooking.

Mack and Fairview is the parent company of Cartwell.io — and the mind behind ShelfAnalyzer.com.

While we consult, we also build. Cartwell is defining an entirely new category: AI-commerce infrastructure for the agentic web — how brands get seen, chosen, and bought when shopping moves to LLMs and autonomous agents. ShelfAnalyzer is the first live tool in that platform, available today.

Ecosystem
🛒
Cartwell
cartwell.io ↗

AI-commerce infrastructure for the agentic web. Cartwell is defining the "AI shelf" — the new front line of discovery where shopping agents, not search results, decide which products get surfaced, recommended, and purchased. Three horizons: show up, convert, get bought.

Shelf Analyzer
shelfanalyzer.com ↗

A 0-to-1 AI-native product that runs brands through blind, web-grounded AI shopping simulations. Type your brand — in minutes see the shelf an AI builds for your category, who beats you, and a prioritized list of product-data gaps to close. No tags, no uploads. Live today.

The next layer in the Cartwell platform — modeling the revenue impact of closing each AI-shelf gap so brands can prioritize by projected growth, not guesswork. From diagnosis to a defensible growth plan the C-suite can act on.

Why this matters for your engagement.
WHY / 01

We Prove It Before We Pitch It

Shelf Analyzer is a product built on the same AI-commerce principles we recommend to clients. When we advise on AI-driven discovery optimization, we're drawing on a live product we built, tested, and are selling — not a whitepaper or a conference talk.

WHY / 02

We Build What Doesn't Exist Yet

Cartwell exists because there was no tool to solve a real, emerging problem. That same instinct — identify the gap, build the solution — is what we bring to consulting engagements. If the tool you need doesn't exist, we'll build it.

WHY / 03

Operator Credibility, Not Just Advisor Credibility

Running a live product company while operating a consultancy means our advice is grounded in current operational reality — not theory. We're navigating the same decisions, trade-offs, and platforms we recommend to you, right now.

Capabilities

What we're brought in to do.

From Fortune 500 transformations to category-creating startups — here are the four domains where we consistently deliver outcomes.

CAPABILITY / A

Build 0→1 Products & Categories

AI-native and digital products from concept to launch. We've created entirely new product categories — IDShield, Cartwell, Shelf Analyzer — and taken them from idea to paying customers. Category creation, positioning, pricing and packaging, product-market validation.

Product Strategy Category Creation 0→1 Launch Product-Market Fit
CAPABILITY / B

Stand Up & Scale DTC / eCommerce

New DTC channels from zero to $20M+, Shopify Plus and VTEX strategy and execution, composable and headless commerce, omnichannel and retail media. We've done this for ADT, Conagra, H Mart, and dozens of others — we know the playbook and we execute it.

DTC Launch Shopify Plus VTEX Headless Commerce
CAPABILITY / C

Own P&L & Revenue Growth

Revenue ownership, CRO, customer acquisition and retention, marketing analytics and measurement. We're comfortable in front of boards, comfortable in the data, and comfortable being held to a revenue number — not just a deliverable.

P&L Ownership CRO Customer Acquisition Marketing Analytics
CAPABILITY / D

Lead Digital Transformation

Re-platforming, organizational design, team building, and C-suite stakeholder management across CPG, retail, automotive, and financial services. We've led transformations for some of the most complex organizations in the world — and delivered measurable results, not just reports.

Re-Platforming Org Design C-Suite Advisory Change Management
Platform Expertise

Deep platform knowledge across the stack.

Our consulting is grounded in hands-on platform expertise — not high-level familiarity. We've built, migrated, and optimized on these platforms at enterprise scale.

Shopify Plus

From DTC launches to enterprise migrations, Hydrogen headless builds, checkout extensions, Shopify Flow automation, and custom app development. We established VML as a leading North American Shopify Plus partner and have delivered $40M+ in Shopify-driven commerce.

AI & Frontier LLMs

Practical AI deployment across commerce, marketing, and digital operations. Custom agent development, AI-native product building (Shelf Analyzer), and AI-powered workflows that create real operational leverage — not just demos.

Frontier LLMs Custom Agents AI Product Build Agentic Commerce
TikTok Shop

Social commerce that sells while you sleep.

TikTok Shop is the fastest-growing commerce channel in the world — and most brands are leaving significant revenue on the table because they don't have the infrastructure or expertise to run it properly. We do.

⚙️
Service / 01

Shop Setup & Implementation

A TikTok Shop built wrong costs you sales from day one. We handle account creation, catalog setup, Shopify integration, fulfillment configuration, compliance, and storefront optimization — so your first sale happens faster and your operations scale cleanly.

  • Account creation, verification, and seller onboarding
  • Product catalog setup and TikTok search optimization
  • Shopify-to-TikTok Shop integration and inventory sync
  • Shipping, fulfillment, returns, and compliance configuration
📦
Service / 02

Day-to-Day Operations

Running a TikTok Shop at scale is a full-time operation. We become your dedicated team — catalog management, order monitoring, customer service, live shopping coordination, promotion calendars, and weekly performance reporting.

  • Ongoing listing management, pricing, and catalog health
  • Order management, fulfillment exceptions, and SLA monitoring
  • Live shopping event planning and execution
  • Flash sale and promotion calendar management
🤝
Service / 03

Affiliate Program Management

TikTok's affiliate ecosystem is one of the most powerful creator-commerce engines ever built — and one of the most mismanaged. We run the full program: strategy, creator recruiting, onboarding, content direction, performance tracking, and top-performer deal structuring.

  • Commission structure and affiliate program strategy
  • Creator recruiting — nano to macro — matched to your category
  • Product seeding, briefs, and creator onboarding
  • Performance tracking and top-performer scaling
📈
Service / 04

GMV Max Campaigns

GMV Max is TikTok's fully automated full-funnel campaign type — designed to maximize gross merchandise value by letting TikTok's algorithm find the best combination of placement, audience, and creative at scale. In the right hands, it's the most efficient media spend on the platform.

  • GMV Max campaign architecture and bid strategy
  • Creative asset preparation for algorithmic delivery
  • Catalog optimization and anchor link strategy
  • Scaling playbooks and affiliate content integration

Why GMV Max changes everything.

GMV Max removes manual complexity and hands optimization to TikTok's algorithm — which has purchase-intent signals no external platform can match. When configured correctly with strong creative and a healthy catalog, it consistently outperforms manually managed campaigns. We've built the playbooks.

How We Work

Agile consulting. Transparent by default.

We don't work in black boxes or deliver surprise invoices. Every Mack and Fairview engagement runs on a structured agile framework — giving your team full visibility, predictable delivery, and the flexibility to adapt as your business evolves.

The Agile Principle
Agile prioritizes people over process, working software over documentation, client collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a fixed plan.

At Mack and Fairview, we've adapted agile principles specifically for consulting and eCommerce — where market conditions shift, customer behavior surprises, and a two-week head start can mean millions in revenue.

Agile Values in Practice

Working Deliverables
↑ over

Slide decks about deliverables. You see real, testable outputs every sprint.

Client Collaboration
↑ over

Handing you a spec and asking you to wait. Your team is embedded throughout.

Responding to Change
↑ over

A rigid plan. Markets shift — we pivot without blowing the budget.

Direct Communication
↑ over

Ticket queues. A direct line to your strategist, developer, and operator.

The Sprint Cycle — How a Two-Week Engagement Iteration Works

📋 Day 1
Sprint Planning

Align on priorities, size work, lock the sprint backlog.

⚙️ Days 2–4
Strategy & Build

Deep work begins — research, analysis, development, or creative.

🔄 Daily
Stand-ups

15-min async or live sync. Nothing surprises you mid-sprint.

🧪 Days 8–9
Review & QA

Everything is tested and reviewed against acceptance criteria.

Day 10
Sprint Demo

We show the work. Your feedback directly shapes the next sprint.

📈 Day 10
Retro & Replan

What worked, what didn't. Backlog reprioritized. Repeat.

What working with us actually means for you.
👁️

Full Visibility, Always

Access to our project board, sprint backlog, and velocity metrics at all times. No more checking in to find out where your engagement stands — you already know.

🚀

Faster Time to Value

Instead of waiting months for a final report, you get working outputs shipped every two weeks. Revenue-generating changes can go live long before the full engagement is complete.

🔀

Change Without Chaos

Business priorities shift. In our model, reprioritizing the backlog takes a 30-minute conversation — not a change order, a re-scoping call, or a new SOW.

🤝

You're Part of the Team

Your stakeholders aren't passive approvers — they're active participants. Sprint reviews and planning sessions keep your team embedded in every decision.

📉

Lower Risk, Better Outcomes

Short feedback loops catch misalignment early — before it becomes expensive. Issues that would take months to surface in a traditional engagement are caught in days.

📊

Measurable Progress

Every sprint ends with a demo against real acceptance criteria. Progress measured in shipped work and revenue outcomes — not percentage-complete estimates.

Let's figure out where we can move the needle.

Whether you're launching a new channel, re-platforming a complex commerce operation, building an AI-native product, or transforming how your organization works digitally — we'd like to hear about it. No deck required. Just a conversation.
