What I Do

Lifecycle, loyalty, and referral at the center. Influencer, affiliate, SEO, and CRO around it.Most brands pour everything into acquisition, then leak it twice. First with the sign-ups who never buy, then with the buyers who buy once and disappear. I close both gaps.Lifecycle and retention. Email and SMS run as revenue channels, not newsletters. Frequency-weighted segmentation and suppression, so the right people get the right cadence instead of everyone getting everything.Loyalty. Rewards tied to real buying behavior rather than blanket discounts. Built around repeat rate and margin, not enrollment counts.Growth levers. Referral and affiliate programs that bring in buyers at a fraction of paid CAC. Influencer, SEO, and CRO when they're what's actually holding the number back.On one brand, the top customer tier returned $0.516 per message. Broad unsegmented sends returned $0.121. Same brand, same window. Who you send to is worth more than what you send.

How I Measure It

Most programs report attributed revenue and call it growth. A meaningful share of that is revenue that would have happened anyway, moving between reporting columns.Here's what it looks like when you can actually tell the difference. Across one 34-day BFCM window, acquisition deteriorated on every measure. Ad spend up 16%, ROAS down, new customer CAC up 50%, new customer revenue down $268,044. Retention revenue rose $399,283 over the same period. The sale grew 5.8%, and every dollar of that growth came from customers who had already bought."He built measurement into his work proactively, allowing us to track what was actually driving revenue. He had a habit of finding waste nobody had thought to look for, then fixing it at the contract level so it stayed fixed."
Max Johnson, CEO, Awe Inspired
