I make email your highest-ROI channel, not an afterthought. I specialise in Klaviyo for ecommerce and DTC brands. Flow architecture, segmentation strategy, deliverability, and the full creative stack. I write and design every email myself, so you get technical depth and copy that actually converts, without having to manage two different people. ๐—œ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—•๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ ๐—–๐—น๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฑ.๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ% ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜‚๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ต. ยฃ63,547 from campaigns. ยฃ28,386 from automated flows.

No sales calls, no discovery calls where someone tries to close you. Just me walking you through ideas specific to your brand, what I would prioritise, and where I see the biggest opportunities for your email programme. You keep that value whether you decide to work with me or not. Before you choose someone to work with on your email marketing, choose the person who understands your customers as well as you do. Once a client comes on board, the first thing I look at is not your flows. It is your pop-up form and your offer architecture. Because if you cannot get people into the ecosystem the right way, with the right offer, the right positioning, the right entry point, it does not matter how good your flows are. The attributed revenue numbers will not move. This is where most email marketers skip straight to the fun stuff and wonder why the results are average. Then we build the flows. All the core ones: welcome, browse abandonment, cart abandonment, checkout abandonment, post-purchase and win-back. But also some you probably have not heard of. The ones that most brands do not have set up because most freelancers do not know they exist. That is where a lot of the hidden revenue lives. But here is what separates a basic flow build from one that actually performs. Customers are getting smarter every single day. A generic email sequence sent to everyone the same way is something people can smell from a mile off. A potential new customer who has never bought from you needs to be spoken to completely differently from someone who has already purchased twice. Different messaging, different offers, different timing, different psychology. You cannot treat these people the same and expect the same results. Every flow I build routes people down different paths depending on exactly where they are in the customer journey. First-time visitors, warm leads, first-time buyers, repeat customers, lapsed customers. Each group gets communication that actually speaks to where they are, not a one-size-fits-all sequence blasting the same email to your entire list. Then we look at campaigns. How many are you sending? To which segments? What is the actual strategy? Most brands either blast their full list once a week or barely send at all. The way I see it, campaigns are ads. Every campaign you send is pushing people back into your custom flows, back into the buying cycle, back into the ecosystem you have built. The more intentional your campaign strategy, the harder your flows work. They compound each other. That is the system. Entry point, flows, campaigns. All three working together. That is how you get email consistently pulling 40 to 45% of your total store revenue. Message me and I will send you a personalised Loom within 24 hours so you can see exactly what is possible for your brand before committing to anything.

Telehealth and DTC health brands hire me to turn their patients from one-time buyers into long-term refills. I run full-funnel growth for GLP-1, weight loss, men's and women's health, and online pharmacy: paid ads, email, and SMS that scale. Most telehealth and DTC health brands are strong on one half of the funnel and leaking the other. They buy patients on Meta and Google but never build the email and SMS engine that drives the second purchase, the refill, and the lifetime value that makes the unit economics work. I own both sides. What I do: Lifecycle, email and SMS: Klaviyo, CustomerIO, Braze, and MoEngage. Welcome, abandonment, post-purchase, refill and reorder, win-back, and education flows tuned for adherence and retention (dose titration, side-effect support, subscription saves). Retention and LTV: subscription and refill programs, segmentation, and reporting that ties spend to patients, repeat revenue, and CAC payback. Verticals I know cold: telehealth and telemedicine, online pharmacy and DTC Rx, GLP-1 and medical weight loss, hormone therapy (HRT and TRT), men's health, women's health and perimenopause, supplements and nutraceuticals, skincare and dermatology, and behavioral and mental health. Compliance is not optional in this space, and I build with it in mind: HIPAA-aware data handling, plus FTC and FDA advertising rules and platform health-policy limits for Rx and supplement claims. Aggressive acquisition, low risk. A few things clients care about: - Expert-Vetted on Upwork with a 95% Job Success Score, $100K+ earned, 60+ jobs, and 2,800+ hours delivered. - Founder of Propel Lifecycle Marketing, with partner-level expertise across Klaviyo, CustomerIO, Braze, and MoEngage. - Real client results: 3x boost in click rates, 40%+ open rates, and retention revenue that compounds. How I work: I start with a paid and lifecycle audit, then run either a focused build sprint or an ongoing retainer or fractional growth role. You get a clear plan, the execution itself, and reporting you can take to your board. If you are scaling a telehealth, online pharmacy, or DTC health brand and want one person who can own both acquisition and retention, send me a message with where you are and where you want to go. I reply fast.

Brand, positioning, and messaging work isn't separate from growth โ€” it's what makes growth sustainable. I do both, and I measure both. โฌ†๏ธ $50M+ in increased annual revenue driven by organic search for a hospitality brand โฌ†๏ธ 900% average ROAS on a multi-channel e-commerce ad campaign in a saturated market โฌ†๏ธ 1B+ earned impressions across consumer, B2B, and regulated industries โฌ†๏ธ 15M+ aggregate social interactions across multiple sectors With nearly 20 years of experience, I work at the intersection of brand, content, and growth โ€” building systems that make marketing compound over time rather than reset with each new initiative. My background spans positioning and messaging strategy, GTM planning, performance marketing, content and UX strategy, CRO audits, lifecycle programs, and fractional CMO work for early- and growth-stage companies. Most clients come to me after outgrowing freelancers and before hiring a full agency or full-time lead. They value my ability to move quickly, bring order without overcomplicating things, and balance senior-level judgment with high-quality execution, especially when getting the story right matters as much as driving growth. Iโ€™ve partnered on brand, messaging, and growth initiatives with organizations ranging from global brands to public-sector organizations and high-growth companies, including Nike, NASA, PetSmart, Cox Media, Best Western, Cerebral, Pulte Homes, the University of Arizona, Insight Enterprises, Pfizer, Finlandia, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, El Monterey, UNS Energy Corporation, SmartSuite, HonorHealth, and the Arizona Office of Tourism. That range has shaped how I think about audiences, credibility, and how messaging performs across very different contexts. I work across messaging and content strategy, growth-focused copywriting, and conversion optimization, often with organizations where clarity, credibility, and alignment materially affect outcomes. Iโ€™m frequently brought in to provide experienced insights to help teams sharpen their narrative, align stakeholders, improve systems and performance, and translate complex ideas into language that performs across channels. I partner closely with growth, product, and leadership teams, which gives me a strong read on how narratives evolve โ€” and where they tend to break down. My focus is on building messaging systems and content that hold up across real-world use: websites, sales and marketing materials, lifecycle programs, and GTM efforts. In addition to project-based work, I operate as a Fractional CMO for early- and growth-stage companies, supporting strategic planning, messaging alignment, and execution where senior marketing leadership is needed but a full-time hire isnโ€™t yet the right move.
