Our guest

Today, Joseph welcomes Bastien Borget, Digital Director at Eden Park, for an in-depth conversation about the real challenges facing premium brands.  

A former elite athlete turned digital expert, Bastien looks back on his unusual career path, his arrival at Eden Park and the structural choices that have enabled e-commerce to become a strategic lever for the brand, without ever sacrificing its DNA.  

Together, they explore:

- how to sell premium products online without trivialising the brand,

- why storytelling has become as important as the product,

- the key trade-offs between image, conversion and performance,

- the central role of CRM, retention and data,

- the limits (and opportunities) of AI in e-commerce,

- the future of omnichannel and unified commerce,

...  

A fascinating, very practical episode, full of real-world feedback and strong convictions about what (really) drives e-commerce performance today.  

A must-listen if you work in e-commerce, retail, fashion or are building a premium brand for the long term.  

Happy listening 🎧
