How We Roll

We believe great marketing doesn’t stop at the first sale. Lifecycle marketing is all about building relationships: automated, personalised, and backed by strategy, so your brand stays top of mind and your customers stay engaged.

From welcome flows to win-back campaigns, we design email strategies that do more than just deliver, they convert, retain, and delight. Powered by customer insights, journey mapping, and AI-enhanced tools, our approach helps lean teams turn browsers into loyal fans.

We help you:

  • Map and optimise the full customer journey, from first touch to long-term loyalty

  • Build intelligent email flows that nurture, convert, and retain

  • Use data and behaviour to segment, personalise and automate

  • Align email marketing with your broader growth strategy

  • Get more value from every customer you worked so hard to acquire

Retention is the real growth engine. We just help you switch it on.

Turn One-Time Buyers Into Long-Term Fans

Why Lifecycle Marketing Matters

Most brands focus so hard on acquisition, they forget the gold mine sitting in their inbox. If you’re not building relationships after someone buys or signs up, you’re leaving money (and loyalty) on the table.

Lifecycle marketing helps you:

  • Build trust and brand affinity at every stage of the journey

  • Increase customer lifetime value (CLTV)

  • Automate personalised experiences without sounding like a robot

  • Drive more revenue without more ad spend

  • Turn happy customers into brand evangelists

Why It’s a Game-Changer for Startups & Scaleups

You don’t need a massive marketing team to deliver a great customer experience, you just need a smart system and the right strategy.

For startups and scaleups juggling lean teams and fast growth, lifecycle marketing lets you:

  • Build trust without manual effort

  • Create consistent customer touchpoints that feel personal

  • Scale communication without losing the human touch

  • Boost repeat purchases, reduce drop-off, and improve retention metrics

In short? It’s the secret weapon for sustainable growth, and a whole lot cheaper than acquiring brand-new customers every time.

What’s Included

No vague deliverables. No recycled templates. Here’s exactly what we’ll work on, tailored to your business, budget, and goals:

  • We map out your customer lifecycle—what they see, feel, and do at every stage—and identify the key moments to connect, convert, and re-engage.

    Includes:

    • Onboarding, nurture, reactivation, and retention flow design

    • Customer journey audits + pain point diagnosis

    • Behaviour-based trigger planning

    • Cross-channel opportunities (email, SMS, even loyalty programs)

  • We design and optimise the key automations that drive real results—welcome sequences, abandoned cart recovery, win-back campaigns, product education, upsells and more.

    Includes:

    • Flow setup and recommendations (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, etc.)

    • Copywriting + timing strategies

    • Segmentation and tagging plans

    • A/B testing guidance and benchmarks

  • We don’t just build it—we help you learn from it. With monthly insights and advisory support, we help you understand what’s working and where to go next.

    Includes:

    • Monthly reporting on email performance

    • Strategic optimisation recommendations

    • Lifetime value and retention metrics tracking

    • Slack or call-based support (you choose!)

The Panda Process

Our process is designed to help startups and scaleups build relationships that don’t just convert once, but keep on giving. Whether you’re nurturing leads, onboarding customers, or bringing folks back into your ecosystem, here’s how we help you turn one-time buyers into lifelong brand fans.

1. Understand & Uncover

We start with a full review of your customer journey and email performance. What’s working? What’s missing? Where are you losing people? We dig into the data and identify the quick wins and long-term levers.

2. Design & Build

Next, we create your strategy and build (or overhaul) your key flows—from onboarding to win-back. Every touchpoint is mapped to a real goal: conversion, retention, or deeper brand connection.

3. Optimise & Evolve

Once your lifecycle is live, we don’t just set it and forget it. We monitor, test, and refine your email strategy to keep performance climbing as your brand grows.
