$80m+ generated for 106 DTC brands | Unlock Untapped Revenue, without throwing more money at Zuck 😈 | Retention Marketing for DTC Brands

I’ll cut to the chase.

If you’re a 7-figure DTC brand founder, you’re missing out on what helped me achieve 30-40% repeat purchase rates for 170+ eCommerce brands in 90 days (every time)

Look…

There’s about 1 million eCommerce agencies on LinkedIn - you don’t have time to hear what they all have to say.

You know your pain points are:

1. Struggling to get customers to make repeat purchases.
2. Watching your ad spend fail to generate profitable returns.
3. Finding it difficult to retain clients despite a successful acquisition strategy.

And therefore you also know that…

These issues are draining your resources and leaving you settling for mediocre results (and agencies / consultants).

After scaling 170+ eCommerce brands…

I understand the frustration of seeing tons of money wasted, month after month, with little to show for it. 

Your competitors are scaling, your margins are shrinking, and your growth feels stunted. 

Every time you pour money into ads, you hope for a breakthrough, but it seems like you're caught in an endless cycle of diminishing returns.

The dream of becoming the top choice for consumers feels like a distant reality.

Here’s the good news:

I’ve got data on a better way. 

I specialize in transforming your existing acquisition funnel into a repeat purchase machine.

With my proven strategies, I don’t just aim to improve your numbers – I aim to revolutionize your business.

I've generated $80M in trackable repeat purchase revenue for multiple 7, 8 and 9-figure brands.

My unique approach ensures that your customers buy twice within 21 days, drastically improving your repeat purchase rates and overall profitability. 

AKA. Your CFO will love me.

I also focus on increasing your return customer rate to 30-40% within 90 days, and boosting your average order value by 20-40%.

Want to see how I’m doing it?

DM me ‘REPEAT THAT’ or ‘I actually read your about section’

And I’ll show you why every time I present to a brand founder what they’re missing in their repeat purchase stack —- they almost fire their current email team instantly.

Trust me.

I’ve seen physical *gasps* after I run DTC founders through their own 32-page, complimentary repeat purchase audit.

DM me ‘REPEAT THAT’ or ‘I actually read your about section’

If you’re a brand that actively has new customers coming in daily.

Account Manager @ Kurogo | We create thought leaders through personal branding

I’m the Head of Content at Darkroom.

My job is helping the people inside the company share what they already know without turning it into performative content or forcing anyone into a creator box.

I’m building an internal thought-leadership motion across LinkedIn, X, Substack, and TikTok by putting structure around good thinking and making it easier to create content consistently.

Before this role, I spent a few years deep in LinkedIn, working closely with founders and operators, asking a lot of questions, and turning long conversations into clear, useful content.

What I noticed pretty quickly was that the people with the most insight are usually the least interested in posting. They don’t lack ideas. They lack time, systems, and a clean way to translate what’s already in their heads.

I come from an engineering background (master’s in engineering), which probably explains how I think about content.

At Darkroom, that shows up as helping leaders find their real point of view and designing content systems that work across platforms.

I’m especially interested in founder-led and expert-led content, and in building internal content engines that feel sustainable.

Always up for a coffee chat. Feel free to hit me up.

Personal Brand Manager.

I crossed 10,000 followers here a few days ago. I wasn’t overly excited when it happened, but I was proud, mostly because LinkedIn is the reason my life looks completely different today.

A few years ago, I was doing my master’s in engineering in Istanbul while trying to figure out how to move away from a traditional engineering career.

I started posting here with no real plan. I was a nobody in marketing, looking for free internships, saying yes to whatever opportunities came my way.

Some of those turned into remote roles.

And somehow, that path led me to where I am today, working at one of the most exciting companies in the world.

What I’m most proud of, though, isn’t the number but knowing that people, especially in my country, look to me for help with LinkedIn, careers, jobs, or building a digital identity.

I genuinely believe that your digital presence is one of the biggest assets you can build today, and being able to help others with that feels incredibly meaningful.

When I think about where I was in 2022 versus now, I just feel grateful.

For the people who gave me chances, and for everyone who’s found even a little value in what I share.

Thank you.

My career makes no sense on paper, and it took me 27 years to figure out what I 'like' doing.

I have a degree in engineering, but I do marketing, yet I’ve never paid for a marketing course.

Entered the content game in 2022, and my source of learning was being around people who were better than me, by working closely with founders, and by trying to figure out what drives revenue versus what just looks good online.

It hasn’t been a straight line at all.

Engineering made sense at one stage of my life, but my heart was never fully in it.

Marketing was a whole different story, though.

It felt natural. I enjoy it. I like seeing something out there that I worked on. It is my digital footprint that will live on forever.

That matters to me.

But I am obsessed with one thing, and that is how marketing helps drive revenue.

Even when we talk about brand, at some point, it has to connect back to growth. Otherwise, what are we doing?

Maybe the engineering background plays a bigger role than I thought.

What’s working? What’s not? Why?

And right now the pace is wild. Social moves fast, and there’s no breathing room.

It really is an adapt or die situation for marketers.

So yeah, I took a chance, and it ended up working out.

Since joining Darkroom, one thing I didn’t expect to enjoy this much is how often marketing talks to sales.

We’re in touch almost every single day.

Marketing only exists for one reason: revenue.

You can call it brand or storytelling, but at the end of the day, the job is to create enough attention and clarity that sales has an easier time closing.

Being this close to revenue conversations makes the work better and far more enjoyable.
