ESS Paris Castle Mastermind 2026 · October 26–30

The BrandsOutranking YouAren't Running Ads.
THEY'RE RUNNING SOMETHING ELSE. BUILD IT IN PARIS.

Five days in a private Paris castle. You'll build it yourself and take it home.

There's a traffic signature showing up across Amazon right now: brands launching with zero reviews, zero TikTok presence and zero ad spend, climbing to six figures in 60 days. No sponsored keywords. No paid placements. 100% organic discovery. And nobody can explain where the traffic is coming from. We can — and in October, we're going to show you how to build it for your brand.

Something Is Happening On Amazon
That Most Sellers Haven't Noticed Yet.

We audited dozens of recently launched brands across health, beauty, home and pet. Three stopped us cold — and one older brand explains why. Open any case for the full breakdown.

Three of them launched inside the last twelve months, in three different categories, with the same invisible traffic signature. We checked their TikTok: nothing. Their Facebook ads: nothing. Their Instagram: nothing. Whatever is driving these brands isn't showing up in any of the places you'd think to look.

The Cost Problem

The Way You're Paying For Content
Right Now Doesn't Scale.

Every piece of creator content you run today is rented. You pay for it, you wait for it, and the moment you stop paying it stops arriving. The alternative is a production line you own.

What creators cost you today
01Find a creator
02DM and negotiate
03Ship product
04Wait for content, then request revisions
05Pay $300 to $3,000 a month per creator
06Plus 100 to 200% commission
07Publish, then start over with the next one
What you'll own after Paris
01Find what's already working in your category
02Build the character in an afternoon
03Generate variations at a fraction of the per-video cost
04Publish daily
05Read the data
06Scale what converts
↻The creator doesn't quit, doesn't renegotiate and doesn't exist outside your operation

Most brands attempting AI video on their own pay $3 to $4 per render. The production method taught at ESS cuts that in half or better. Do the math on 240+ videos a month and the event pays for itself before you leave France.

The AI Creator Showcase

None Of These People Are Real.
The Content Is.

These are examples of AI-generated creator content already being produced inside our ecosystem. This is what you're building in Paris. Not watching someone build it. Building it yourself, around your product, your customer, your market.

What If Your Brand Could
Create Demand Every Day?

Five days away from everyday distractions. One private castle outside Paris. A room of established founders and operators. The focus: build a creator-led traffic system around your real business, learn how to operate it, and leave with a production system your team can run without you.

You don't come to ESS to learn about AI influencers.
You come to build one.

The ESS Experience

We've Filled This Castle Before.

ESS is not a ballroom conference. In 2022, founders and operators came together in Paris to learn, connect and work through what was next. In 2026, we're coming back to build practical AI systems operators can actually use inside real ecommerce businesses.

The Roster

One Brand. Four Faces.
Four Audiences. One System.

The real power isn't one AI creator. It's a roster. Four characters, four content jobs: the authority who explains the mechanism, the couple who make the result look inevitable, the peer who sounds like your customer, and the hook built to turn comments into DMs. All running from one production pipeline. All pointing at the same listing.

The Traffic System

From Insight To Distribution.
One Repeatable System.

Turn audience insight into repeatable content, distribution and measurable demand.

Content DNAHooks + structure

What You Leave With

What You Leave Paris With.
Specifically.

Not slides. Not frameworks. Not a certificate. Working assets your team runs the week you get home.

01 · Characters

Two Locked Creators

Two or more AI characters built for your brand and demographic, with full reference sets.

02 · Scripts

Your Script Bank

Adapted winners, pulled from formats already proven in your category.

03 · Video

Your First Batch

Finished, rendered videos produced on site during the event — not homework for later.

04 · Distribution

Live Accounts

Instagram and Facebook accounts warmed and posting before you fly home.

05 · Attribution

Tracking That Works

Associates links, tracking IDs and Brand Referral Bonus enrollment, set up and live.

06 · Handoff

SOP + Roadmap

A written production SOP your VA follows without you in the room, plus the operating roadmap for months one through three.

The AI Workforce · Day 05

You're Not Learning This
So You Can Do It Yourself.

The number one reason brand owners hesitate on AI content is they think it means more work on their plate. It's the opposite. Everything built at ESS is designed to be handed to your team the week you get home.

Day five exists specifically for this. Character files, script templates, render workflows, posting schedules, QC checklists — all documented, and all built around the way a $15 to $20 an hour VA actually works, not the way a founder works. The brands winning with this aren't running it themselves. They trained one or two people, handed over the SOP and check the numbers once a week.

Inside The Mastermind

Five Days. One Build.
You Bring The Product. We Build Everything Around It.

Day 01 · Mon 26

Arrive And Lock Your Target

Settle into the castle. Meet the room. Before anything gets built, we clarify exactly who your buyer is, what your product solves and which content angle your category responds to. Nothing gets built on assumptions.

You leave day one with: your audience locked, your content angle identified and a short list of winning formats in your niche already pulled apart.
Day 02 · Tue 27

Build Your Characters

This is the day the creators come to life. Audience, positioning, appearance, voice, backstory, casting decisions, platform strategy. You'll build at least two locked characters with full reference sets, and render your first video before dinner.

You leave day two with: two characters that look like real people, not AI art projects, plus your first video rendered and reviewed.
Day 03 · Wed 28

Build The Engine

Winning-content research. Hook dissection. Script adaptation. AI video generation at volume. Product integration. Variations. Publishing setup. Tracking. Iteration. This is the longest day and the one where the system goes from concept to running.

You leave day three with: a script bank, a batch of finished videos, accounts set up and posting, and attribution tracking live.
Day 04 · Thu 29

The Room Behind Closed Doors

The laptops close. The conversations open. Private dinners with the operators who just built the same thing you did. This is where partnerships form, deals get made and the relationships that outlast the event take shape. Every past ESS attendee says the same thing: the room was worth more than the sessions.

You leave day four with: the people, not the slides.
Day 05 · Fri 30

Take The System Home

Final build review. Your operating roadmap for months one through three. The handoff plan for your VA or team. The maintenance rhythm that keeps the system producing after Paris. And the one question that decides what happens next: do you run this yourself, or do you want us to run it for you?

You leave day five with: everything, packaged to survive the flight home.

The Room Matters

This Room Isn't For Everyone.
That's The Point.

The value rises when the people in the castle are already operating real businesses and ready to implement.

Built for

  • Established Amazon sellers with proven products and real conversion rates
  • Shopify and DTC brand owners spending on content they don't own
  • Founders tired of paying creator retainers that reset every 30 days
  • Operators who want to build infrastructure, not rent it
  • Teams already producing content who want the AI version to run alongside it

Not for

  • Someone looking for their first product idea
  • Someone who wants to watch, not build
  • Someone expecting a speaker lineup and a lanyard
  • Someone who needs a done-for-you service and won't touch production

If that's you, we have a done-for-you offer — ask about it on the call instead.

Questions

Before You
Talk With Liz.

Do I have to fly to Paris to attend?

No. There are two ways in. You can be with us in the castle for all five days, or attend live online from wherever you are. Same five days, same sessions, same build.

Where is the venue?

The castle is Châteauform’ Le Grand Mello, Route de Creil, 60660 Mello, France. It is located 40 minutes from Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Which airport should I fly into?

Fly into Paris International — Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). The venue is about 40 minutes away by car.

What is the difference between the castle seat and the live seat?

In the castle you get the room — the five days on site, the meals, the conversations between sessions, and Liz looking at your screen while you build. Live, you are streamed into every session in real time and work through the same builds with the same materials. Either way you finish the week with your own system. What a stream cannot give you is Paris.

If I attend live, can I still ask questions and get my work reviewed?

Yes. Live attendees are not watching a broadcast. You can ask during the sessions and get your own characters, hooks and content looked at, the same as the people in the room.

What time do the sessions run for live attendees?

Sessions run on Paris time, October 26 to 30. The daily schedule is confirmed with you on the fit call so you can plan around your own time zone.

What does attendance cost?

Investment details for both the castle seat and the live seat are covered on the fit call. The ticket includes the full five-day mastermind, private castle access, meals during sessions and everything you need to build on site. Flights and personal travel are on you.

What platforms does this work on?

Instagram and Facebook are the primary distribution channels taught at ESS. TikTok works too, but the real leverage is on Meta, where most Amazon sellers haven't posted a single piece of content.

How fast until I see results on Amazon?

Characters take roughly 30 days to hit full posting cadence. Attribution data starts flowing within the first two weeks of posting. You won't leave Paris and see rank movement on Monday. You'll see it by month two if you maintain the cadence.

Can my VA run this after the event?

That's the entire point of day five. You leave with a written SOP built to be handed off. If your VA can follow a checklist and review a render, they can run this.

What happens when the AI tools change?

They change constantly. The event teaches you the current production stack, and the SOP you leave with is built on it. For ongoing tool updates, format breakdowns and new winning scripts as they emerge, The Klone Room exists as the annual membership that keeps the system current. Ask about it on the call.

Do I need to be technical?

No. You need to be willing to sit in front of a screen and build with guidance. If you've ever edited a listing or set up a PPC campaign, you can do this.

Can the AI show my actual product?

Product integration is built into day three. The method depends on the product type, but the goal is always creator-style content with your real product visible, not a generic avatar talking at a camera.

Is attendance limited?

Yes, and it has to be. The build days require hands-on guidance per brand. This isn't a conference with 500 seats. The room is kept small enough that Liz can look at your screen and fix your hook. Apply and the fit call will confirm availability.

Application

Let's See If ESS Makes Sense For Your Business.

We're not trying to fill a ballroom. We're building a room of established founders and operators who can actually use what we're working on. Apply, tell us about your business, and choose an available time with Liz if there's a potential fit.
