I build CRM, lifecycle, and retention programs that turn signups into revenue. 50+ clients. 200M+ messages sent. Consistent 50-70% retention lifts across SaaS and mobile apps. Whether you need a lifecycle program built from scratch or a seasoned strategist to come in and level up what you've got, that's what I do. I've done it for startups, Series B/C companies, and enterprise-scale apps with 20M+ users. I'm Braze Level 2 Certified, deeply experienced with Customer io, and I've worked across Iterable, Klaviyo, Clevertap, and most of the major martech platforms. I most recently served as Head of CRM at a fast-scaling AI edtech app, where I built the entire lifecycle program from the ground up using Customer io, Liquid, and a custom ChatGPT integration that generates 1:1 personalized push messages at scale. Before that, I spent years as a senior consultant leading CRM strategy for mobile apps and SaaS brands, and as VP of Growth for a top-20 health and fitness app where my CRM program drove a 52% revenue uplift. A few recent results: 96% increase in re-subscriptions from canceling users (push + email reactivation) 444% YoY increase in premium signups via a single holiday campaign 43.7% of daily push recipients opening the app within 1 hour 70% improvement in Day 7 retention for a wellness app 50% uplift in trial-to-paid conversions, adding $4.5K MRR Migrated an enterprise client to Braze in 3 months after 12+ months of delays What I typically help with: CRM strategy and architecture from zero to launch. Lifecycle audits and optimization for existing programs. Onboarding, trial-to-paid, and churn recovery flows. Email, push, in-app, and SMS campaign design and copywriting. A/B testing frameworks, cohort analysis, and revenue attribution. Analytics integration with Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, or mParticle. How I work: I start with a deep audit of your funnel, your data, and your messaging. I build a strategy tied to your actual growth levers, not a template. Then I execute: copy, flows, segmentation, testing, iteration. I'm a strategist who also does the hands-on work, which means nothing gets lost in translation between "the plan" and "the build." "Trever's copy and lifecycle strategy led to huge uplifts in trial-to-paid, retention, and app store rankings. If he's available, hire him now." - Joe Kindness, CEO, AgencyAnalytics Top Rated Plus. Expert-Vetted. 15+ years in SaaS, mobile, and ecommerce. US citizen based in Europe, async-native, and easy to work with. If you're looking for someone who can own lifecycle end to end, let's talk.

I have been working as a professional screenwriter the past two decades. During this time, more than a dozen of my screenplays have been purchased and produced, from theatrical features ("Mail Order Monster," "The Sex Trip") and TV movies ("The Christmas Chalet," "All I Want for Christmas") to web series ("Soccer & Drinks"), commercials (eHow) and other short-form content. I am represented in Hollywood by a major talent agency (Zero Gravity Management) and have been hired to write scripts numerous Hollywood A-Listers, from director Sam Raimi to actor Ashton Kutcher. If you'd like a novel faithfully adapted for the screen, if you have an amazing idea for a movie or TV show but you're not sure how to bring it to life, or if you already have a script but would like it to be leveled-up, I would be thrilled to work with you to create a screenplay that will stand out from the crowd in Hollywood.

Do you have a concept that needs to work on screen, for a general audience? We can keep what makes it yours -- and refine it to meet the MUST-HAVES of any screenplay: A script needs to read lean and clean... and excite cast/crew (and funders) with tone and heart! I bring 10+ years of screenwriting experience to the team, and have read / covered 3,000+ scripts. I’ve written, produced, and directed my own work, and I'm proud to have screened at Oscar-qualifying festivals like SLAMDANCE and HOLLYSHORTS. HAVE SOMETHING IN PROGRESS? BEAM IT OVER! We can talk through what’s working, what’s not, and creative WHAT IF's... ___________________________________________________________________________ MY TRIED-AND-TRUE WORKSHOP SYSTEM: - I read your synopsis / outline / treatment / pitch deck. - I listen to what's most important to you about the concept and any current drafts. - I help strategize your narrative with in-depth notes and comparatives to popular films / TV. - I (or we) deliver industry-standard pages that excel in readability, structure, and theme. - We swap notes on pages and elevate further drafts with meaningful rewrites. (My approach is flexible for screenplay coverage / original content / format coaching)
