I've been building and optimizing online businesses since 1999. My background is in direct response marketing, where performance is measured by revenue, not just traffic or metrics. Most recently, I spent nine years as COO of a DTC supplement brand, helping scale it to sustained seven-figure monthly revenue across paid traffic, affiliate, email, funnels, and Amazon, while managing 50+ people across marketing, operations, product, and support. Most businesses don't have a single problem. They have gaps across traffic, conversion, and monetization. That’s where I focus. I identify what’s limiting revenue and fix it so your existing systems perform better before you spend more. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT I HELP WITH ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ CONVERSION, FUNNELS & REVENUE OPTIMIZATION Diagnose where users drop off and why. Improve conversion rate, AOV, and revenue per visitor through better messaging, offers, funnel structure, and checkout flow. I’ve rebuilt funnels, restructured offers, and optimized VSLs across hundreds of campaigns. The work is always about finding the specific friction point that is costing you money. ▸ AFFILIATE & CLICKBANK Vendor, affiliate, manager, and network-side experience. I’ve built and scaled affiliate ecosystems, structured commission models, recruited partners, and optimized offers from every side. If your affiliate program is not scaling or your ClickBank offer is underperforming, I can usually spot the bottleneck quickly. ▸ EMAIL & LIFECYCLE MARKETING I’ve personally written and sent daily email campaigns for years, generating significant monthly revenue across billions of cumulative sends. I work on segmentation, automation, deliverability, and connecting email to the rest of your acquisition and monetization system. ▸ PAID TRAFFIC & DIRECT RESPONSE Executive-level experience across Meta, Google, YouTube, and affiliate traffic sources. I help diagnose performance issues across campaigns and funnels, separating creative fatigue from funnel friction and offer problems. Not just reading dashboards, but knowing what to change and why. ▸ AI-DRIVEN MARKETING SYSTEMS I build practical AI-supported workflows that improve research, content production, and execution speed. The focus is always on output and efficiency, not novelty. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EXPERIENCE SNAPSHOT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◦ Scaled a DTC brand to sustained 7-figure monthly revenue as COO over 9 years ◦ Led teams of 50+ across marketing, operations, product, and support ◦ 25+ years building online businesses across DTC, affiliate, and digital products ◦ Co-founded and scaled a software company past $2M in online revenue ◦ Deep hands-on execution across funnels, VSLs, paid traffic, email, affiliate, and CRO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TYPICAL PROJECTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◦ Funnel and conversion audits ◦ CRO and revenue optimization ◦ ClickBank and affiliate offer optimization ◦ Email systems and lifecycle strategy ◦ Paid traffic and funnel performance diagnosis ◦ AI workflow design and implementation ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW I WORK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I don’t work through checklists. I look at where performance is actually breaking, then focus on the highest-leverage fix first. Most engagements start with a focused audit or review of what you already have, then move into prioritized recommendations and execution. If you're trying to improve results, not just complete tasks, send me a message.

I later transitioned into the startup world, working hands-on with agencies, iOS and Android apps from early MVP stage to products serving millions of users. That transition was a huge learning curve, and today I help founders, startups, and marketing teams design growth strategies, implement scalable systems, and gain the insights I wish I had when launching my first startup. I specialise in 📱 App Growth & App Store Marketing • App Store Optimisation (ASO) • App Store & Google Play conversion optimisation • App launch strategy & positioning • Ratings, reviews & social proof systems 📈 User Acquisition & Growth • Paid acquisition (Meta Ads & Google Ads) • Install → activation → retention funnels • Growth experiments and cohort analysis • Influencer and partnership campaigns ⚙️ Funnels & Growth Systems • Go-to-market strategy for apps and startups • Landing page funnels and conversion optimisation • Lead capture and onboarding systems • CRM automation and lifecycle marketing 🤖 Automation & AI Workflows • GoHighLevel (funnels, CRM, automation) • Apollo and Instantly outbound systems • Make workflows and AI-powered marketing processes • Analytics, tracking, and performance optimisation I focus on strategies and metrics that actually move the needle while helping founders avoid many of the mistakes I’ve seen across startups and experienced myself. I work closely with teams to: • Validate audiences and growth channels before scaling • Maximise return on ad spend • Build repeatable acquisition systems • Ship fast and learn faster • Optimise marketing and operations using AI Best fit ✔️ Early-stage app founders ✔️ Funded startups preparing to scale ✔️ SaaS and tech companies building growth systems ✔️ Teams struggling with installs, conversion, or acquisition ✔️ Agencies looking to scale ✔️ Small to medium sized businesses adopting AI If you're growing an app, startup, or business and want someone who has been through the journey before, I’d be happy to take a look and share a few ideas. Looking forward to hearing about what you're building. Simon

What does a Loyalty marketing specialist do?

A loyalty marketing specialist builds and manages customer retention programs that reward repeat purchases and deepen brand engagement. This role focuses on designing recognition systems and targeted communications that keep existing customers active and satisfied. You configure program rules and integrate data workflows to automate personalized rewards across multiple touchpoints. The work centers on turning transactional data into meaningful interactions that drive long-term customer value.

  • Design and configure loyalty program components, including tier structures, point accrual rules, and redemption mechanisms within platforms like Salesforce Loyalty Management. You define how customers earn status and what benefits they receive at each level, ensuring the logic aligns with business goals and customer expectations. This setup governs the entire program behavior and dictates how the system processes membership changes and reward eligibility.
  • Create and execute loyalty-driven customer journeys using tools such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement. You build automated communication flows that trigger based on specific loyalty events, such as reaching a new tier or earning enough points for a reward. These journeys deliver personalized messages that recognize customer milestones and encourage further engagement with the brand through relevant offers and content.
  • Integrate loyalty data with broader marketing and commerce systems to ensure seamless synchronization of customer actions. You configure workflows that connect order management systems and loyalty platforms so that purchase data automatically updates member profiles and triggers appropriate engagement responses. This technical alignment allows marketing teams to use real-time loyalty status in their campaigns and ensures customers see accurate point balances and tier information.
  • Analyze loyalty program performance using analytics tools to derive insights about membership growth, retention rates, and reward redemption patterns. You compile reports that highlight which segments respond best to specific incentives and identify areas where the program structure may need adjustment. These insights guide strategic refinements to improve program effectiveness and maximize the return on investment for loyalty initiatives.

How to hire a Loyalty marketing specialist on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your retention goals and program mechanics clearly to attract qualified candidates. The Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI helps you draft a precise post by describing your needs in a few sentences. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post to start your search.

  • Specify requirements for Salesforce Loyalty Management configuration and rule definition to govern program behavior accurately.
  • List experience with Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement to build loyalty-driven customer journeys and targeted communications.
  • Request examples of integration work that synchronizes commerce data with loyalty workflows for seamless member experiences.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Look for portfolios that demonstrate configured loyalty components and measurable retention improvements. Uma can run instant video interviews and build shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you assess technical fit quickly.

  • Verify hands-on experience setting up loyalty tiers, rewards, and membership rules within Salesforce Loyalty Management.
  • Check for published campaigns in Marketing Cloud that use loyalty audiences to trigger personalized engagement actions.
  • Review analytics reports they generated using Salesforce Analytics for Loyalty to track membership growth and program performance.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss their approach to connecting loyalty data with marketing execution during the interview. Schedule and conduct these conversations within Upwork Messages, which generates an immediate transcript and summary after each session.

  • Ask how they configure data synchronization between order management systems and loyalty platforms to ensure accurate point accrual.
  • Question their method for designing journey logic that reacts to specific member behaviors like tier upgrades or reward redemptions.
  • Inquire about their process for troubleshooting integration errors that prevent loyalty events from triggering marketing communications.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Outline specific deliverables such as rule configurations and campaign builds before starting. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, plus identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds for security.

  • Milestone one should include the setup of core loyalty program components and the definition of business rules for member tiers.
  • Milestone two covers the configuration of API integrations that pass loyalty data into Marketing Cloud for audience segmentation.
  • Final deliverables must include tested engagement journeys and a performance report detailing initial membership and retention metrics.
