How We Work

How we grow your email revenue.

We combine proprietary data from hundreds of brands with your program's performance and context — back out the strategies most likely to work, then implement, test, and iterate alongside your team every quarter.

The short version

Retention marketing shouldn't run on gut feel or recycled playbooks. We bring benchmarks and tactics from 450+ brands, layer in your data and business context, prioritize what will actually move revenue, and stay in the work — building, testing, and refining until goals are hit. That loop runs every quarter.

How we work

Four steps, every quarter.

The same rhythm repeats each quarter so your program keeps compounding — not resetting to whatever felt urgent that week.

STEP 01

Portfolio insight

Benchmarks, patterns, and tactics from 450+ brands — what actually moves revenue, engagement, and list health in programs like yours.

STEP 02

Your context

Your performance data, seasonality, product mix, and team constraints. We combine your institutional knowledge with our cross-brand view.

STEP 03

Prioritized roadmap

A short list of initiatives ranked by likely impact — sequenced into a quarterly plan with clear targets, not a crowded backlog.

STEP 04

Ship, measure, refine

We build and QA campaigns and flows alongside your team, review what's working, and feed learnings into the next quarter.

The quarterly cycle

Five phases across 12 weeks — every quarter

Each phase has clear deliverables and handoff points. Click a phase to see what gets done and how we approach it.

At the end of each quarter, what we learn feeds the next roadmap — so your program compounds instead of starting over.
