Retention & Reactivation Systems
Retention, Reactivation & Marketing Automation.
I build lifecycle systems that turn dormant customers into revenue — from full CRM programmes to single reactivation campaigns. AI-assisted automation, MarTech architecture and marketing operations: I find where the system breaks, then rebuild the workflow so it runs itself.
About
Before moving into marketing, I worked in financial analysis, management accounting, and tax advisory. That background shaped how I approach marketing: I don't start with campaigns or creatives, I start with the commercial problem the business is trying to solve.
When I connect lifecycle activity to revenue, conversion, retention, or profitability, I understand both the marketing side and the financial logic underneath it. I'm comfortable working across marketing, data, product, and commercial teams, and I can hold conversations with a CFO, developer, and sales lead in the same room.
I build lifecycle functions from the ground up, taking businesses from fragmented, ad hoc communications to structured, behaviour-led systems that handle activation, retention, reactivation and long-term customer value without anyone having to remember to send anything.
Every programme I build has attribution designed in from day one, at user, account and commercial outcome levels. You will always know what a campaign returned, not just what it opened.
The Lifecycle System
Work with me
Most businesses do not have a lead problem. They have a follow-up problem. Customers who already know you, already bought from you, and quietly stopped coming back are the cheapest revenue available, and almost nobody works them properly.
Your lapsed customer list, worked properly. I build and run segmented, multi-touch SMS and email sequences under your brand, targeting people who drifted rather than left. Priced on results: you pay a share of what actually comes back.
Best for
Appointment-based businesses with a database that has gone quiet. Clinics, practices, studios, service providers.
The full programme, built from zero. Onboarding, retention, win-back, and everything between, designed around behaviour rather than calendar dates, with attribution built in from day one so you can see what each programme is actually worth.
Best for
Businesses sending ad hoc campaigns with no system underneath, ready to build something that compounds.
The manual work your team should not be doing. I find where the process breaks, then rebuild it as an automated workflow using AI and integrated systems, so it runs continuously without anyone remembering to start it.
Best for
Teams losing hours weekly to repetitive tasks that could be triggered by data instead of by people.
Not sure which one fits? Start with the smallest version. Most engagements begin with a single reactivation campaign, priced on outcomes, with no lock-in.

Automation and AI
Beyond CRM platforms, I design and build automated workflows using AI, n8n, and integrated systems, turning manual, high-friction processes into triggers that run without human intervention.
Built an automated trigger that fires a satisfaction survey after every third support ticket closure for the same customer. The survey pre-populates customer name, email, and ticket ID from the CRM. If the customer rates 3 or below, a real-time alert fires instantly to the relevant manager, no manual monitoring required.
Built automated loyalty granting mechanisms that evaluate individual customer behaviour in real time and grant tier upgrades, reward credits, or status changes without manual review. Live incentive triggers fire based on specific on-site activity signals, search thresholds, booking milestones, session frequency, creating a system where the platform responds to customer intent as it happens.
Built multi-step n8n workflows integrating AI models to automate content generation, data processing, and operational tasks that previously required manual handling. Designed reusable social media workflow templates enabling customers to maintain a consistent content cadence without a dedicated marketing team.
Connected HeyGen AI video generation to Zoho CRM to turn a single founder thank-you video into personalised video messages delivered automatically to top-tier customers at the right moment in their lifecycle. Each customer receives what feels like a direct, personal message from the founder, triggered by behaviour and milestone data in the CRM, with no manual effort per send.
Commercial Intelligence
Not open rates and call it done. Revenue, transactions, net profit, and incentive expense, tracked in real time per campaign.
Every programme I build has attribution wired in from the start, with dashboards connecting each campaign directly to revenue, transactions, net profit, and incentive expense.
At individual user and account level, I can tell you exactly how many transactions and how much revenue are attributable to any given customer in the system. That is a commercial intelligence layer, not a marketing report.
Career
Built automated lifecycle journeys driven by behavioural signals, engagement state, product usage, and value milestones, replacing standard time-based campaigns with dynamic customer-led automation across CRM, product database, and on-site messaging platforms.
Developed lead scoring models identifying early activation behaviours most strongly associated with long-term customer value, enabling prioritisation of high-intent users for BDM follow-up and targeted lifecycle escalation.
Partnered closely with engineering and developed working SQL capability to build behavioural triggers, CRM integrations, reporting layers, and automation workflows beyond standard platform limitations.
Built campaign-to-revenue attribution dashboards connecting lifecycle activity directly to Total Transaction Value (TTV), bookings, revenue, net profit, retention outcomes, and incentive spend across all active programmes.
Developed reporting infrastructure in Zoho Analytics and Looker Studio covering behavioural segmentation, lifecycle performance, conversion funnels, and channel attribution across email, in-product messaging, and push notifications.
Built and maintained a suite of operational dashboards used daily across Marketing and Sales teams, providing visibility into behavioural trends, transaction performance, campaign effectiveness, and high-value account activity across AU and US markets.
Delivered structured commercial reporting to leadership teams, translating lifecycle and CRM activity into measurable business outcomes to support roadmap, investment, and growth decisions.
Built lead conversion funnels measuring BDM effort, outreach touchpoints, and conversion rates at the individual team member level, connecting marketing pipeline to sales performance.
Designed commission structure tracking within the CRM, attributing bookings and TTV to the responsible BDM, enabling accurate commission calculation and incentive measurement.
Built a trigger-based BDM notification system: when agents do not engage with lifecycle touchpoints, a real-time notification fires to the relevant BDM to follow up personally.
Created agent-level and account-level views enabling Sales and Marketing leadership to identify at-risk accounts and where targeted outreach would drive the highest return.
Built automated post-support satisfaction surveys with CRM pre-fill and real-time low-score alerting to management using Zoho Desk, Zoho Survey, and workflow automation.
Turned a single founder thank-you video into personalised outreach for every top-tier customer at the right lifecycle moment, delivered automatically at scale.
Built n8n and AI-powered workflows for content generation and operational automation; designed social media workflow templates and delivered hands-on customer workshops.
Led campaign management including promotions, product launches, and customer journey design across both retail and trade channels.
Designed and implemented behaviour-based automated customer journeys to improve engagement and lifecycle performance; analysed funnel data to identify conversion opportunities.
Reduced marketing efficiency ratio to sustain 15% profitability while tripling Revenue Per Visit through offer engineering, CRO, and Facebook Ads creative testing.
Grew the email subscriber base from zero to 3,000 within 18 months, sustaining 40 to 50% open rates through behavioural segmentation and targeted lifecycle campaigns.
Built GA4 and Looker Studio reporting infrastructure from scratch, tracking channel performance and translating data into decisions across every area of the business.
Closed the business deliberately after achieving the commercial and learning milestones I had set. As a minimalist, I chose not to keep scaling a product I no longer believed was adding something meaningful to the world. The craft built here (systems, attribution, lifecycle thinking) transferred directly into what followed, at a much larger scale.
Conducted ongoing audits of global brand email strategies to surface best practices in acquisition, nurture, and retention, translating insights into tactical campaign improvements.
Built a User Generated Content portfolio to improve ad spend efficiency and social media reach.
Managed end-to-end campaign delivery including build, copy, asset coordination, QA, and scheduling across manual and triggered campaign types.
Completed month-end finance tasks including prepayments, accruals, and inter-company reconciliation in a timely and accurate manner across multiple divisions.
Performed gross margin analysis incorporating the effect of marketing campaigns and FX exposure from offshore manufacturing relationships.
Conducted industry and client research to identify transfer pricing issues and provided guidance on compliance requirements.
Prepared technical tax documents and research summaries for senior partner review and client presentation on a weekly basis.
