Coaching & DTC brands

Marketing for fitness & e-commerce

Discovered on social, bought on a phone, kept through lifecycle. The win is a creative machine feeding a funnel built for LTV, not the first order.

Start with the buyer, not the account

Nobody searches for a brand they've never heard of. Fitness and DTC demand is created in the feed — a transformation, a founder, an offer — then converted on mobile and kept through email and SMS. The brands that win treat acquisition, conversion, and retention as one system, and set their spend against lifetime value, not the first sale.

Where the math works

Two engines, one system

  • Acquisition — paid social creative testing that finds buyers profitably at cold-traffic scale.
  • Retention — email, SMS, and lifecycle that turn a first order into the LTV acquisition is priced against.

What this means tactically

  • Creative is the lever — volume of tests and fast kills beats clever targeting every time.
  • The page closes, not the ad — cold traffic needs a conversion-built landing experience.
  • Lifecycle recovers the 95% who don't buy now — the cheapest revenue in the business.
