CEO / Founder

Social Pulse Marketing Inc.

Developed and executed the Canada-wide influencer marketing campaign strategy for Ford's "We Day" and "We Scare Hunger" initiatives and We Charity in 2017 - 2018. I worked closely with all enabled influencers to develop all original content optimized for YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

I managed the influencer marketing campaign for Amazon Canada's pop-up shop at Eaton Center, held in Toronto on November 14, 2018. I worked with 10+ influencers to develop original content concepts for multiple social channels, created the dedicated, personalized Amazon store for each influencer, and coordinated all of their activation in the pop-up store. Served as synergist connecting Amazon's Canadian, UK and American Internal Marketing teams, marketing partners, Creative Agencies, Public Relations etc. with influencers.

In 2018, Samsung was one of the partners for Buffer Festival, a 3-day showcase of cinema screenings spotlighting exclusive video premieres from acclaimed digital creators. Samsung's goal was to create content entirely using only the Samsung S9 phone.

In 2019, Florind developed and implemented Digital Marketing Campaign for "The Longest Day of Smiles," an initiative by Operation Smile Canada to give 1,000 free smiles to children with cleft lips and palates. The campaign was a success as Operation Smile met and exceeded the campaign goal. We were able to raise $260,125 of the $240,000 goal.

Director, Strategic Partnerships

Providr Inc.

My relentless pursuit of constantly developing new lead generation initiatives directly resulted in a 40% annual revenue increase over 3 years by successfully securing over 200 global publishing clients. Some of these clients were A-list celebrities such as Lil Wayne (50 million followers + Online Network), Marlon Wayans, Trina, Allen Iverson, Manny Pacquiao and many more. 

I have also been able to acquire indirect sponsorship opportunities for my clients that add value and most importantly different revenue streams. 

I have directly managed relationships with agencies, social media teams and management teams to provide them with tremendous value, support and reports on an ongoing basis.

During my tenure at Providr, my clients were instrumental in making Providr one of the top 100 most visited websites in the world, according to Alexa.com. According to Google Analytics, Providr averaged between 75,000 and 100,000 unique page views per minute.

By proactively identifying market trends in both competitors and clients, my insights and initiatives enabled Providr to remain a market leader with the highest CPM's, engagement and conversion rates in the entire industry.

My willingness to work with the production team provided me the opportunity to be involved in every department of the company. Ultimately, this increased my value to my clients and the company.

I developed the process that credits each publisher for each piece of content by connecting to their UTM parameters.

4-6 emails per day during Black Friday

Yes, I'm serious.

Last year we generated $958k in November for a client who thought $600k was "impossible."

How?

We sent more emails than they were comfortable with.

Here's why most brands fail at this:

They get 150 spam complaints → they panic and pull back → they then miss out on hundreds of thousands in revenue.

But here's the reality:

If you had 2 million unique deliveries and got 250 complaints, that's 0.0125%.
Statistically nothing.

The new normal for Black Friday:
- First send: 180-day engaged (cast wide)
- Second send: 90-day engaged (tighten up)
- Third send: 45-day engaged (even tighter)
- Fourth send: 14-day engaged (tightest)

Each send excludes anyone who opened in the last 6-12 hours and anyone who purchased in the last 2 days.

This protects your open rates and keeps you in the primary inbox, and makes sure no one gets spammed too hard.

Reality check: Over 14,000 people purchased TWICE from the same client during their Black Friday sale. Last 2 days purchasers exclusion is enough to give breathing room, and also drive a second sale.

People don't hate your emails.

They hate boring offers and missing out.

You have your best offers of the year live.

Don't let a few angry emails stop you from capturing another 6 figures.

ALWAYS HIRING: Check My About Section | Helping DTC Brands Drive Predictable, Profitable Growth 📧 | Over $300M in Email Revenue For Clients | DM me ‘EMAIL’ to chat

Everyone sends their Black Friday emails at 9:00 AM
So we send ours at 9:06 AM.

Sounds stupidly simple, right?

But here's what happens:

At 9:00 AM, there's a tsunami of promotional emails hitting every inbox.

Your carefully crafted campaign? Buried on page 2 within minutes.

Our solution:

Send at 7:47 AM instead of 7:30 AM. Send at 8:06 PM instead of 8:00 PM. 

Send at 9:34 AM instead of 9:30 AM.

You ride in 6 minutes after the wave and sit at the top of the inbox.

Bonus hack: Increase your volume of plain text emails during Black Friday week.

Why?

Superior deliverability. Flies under the radar. People actually read them. Make sure you hit the inbox with this timing hack, then make sure you sit at the top of the inbox.

Designed emails are great.

But plain text during peak season? That's how you print money.

Small details. Massive results.

Redesigned this email for BRĒZ

The improvements:
- CTA above-the-fold
- Clearer headline
- Final CTA at the bottom

Broke down the full email on my Instagram 🙂

What do you think?

Helping DTC Brands Drive Predictable, Profitable Growth 📧 | Over $250M in email marketing revenue | DM me ‘EMAIL’ to chat

4 email tactics printing money for our clients right now:

1. Plain text to cold subscribers
↳ "Subscribed >30 days, never purchased" segment
↳ Feels personal, converts cold leads

2. Micro-commitment popups
↳ Get a small yes before the big ask
↳ Conversion rates jump 2-3X

3. Back-in-stock immediate discount
↳ 10% off while they wait for restock
↳ Turns interest into an immediate conversion

4. Smart cart splits by free shipping
↳ Different flows for above/below threshold
↳ Stops leaving money on the table

The brands crushing it aren't doing fancy stuff.

They're just doing the basics with more precision.

What's working for you right now?

#emailmarketing #DTC #retention

We just crossed $2,500 in our first 30 days with our own e-commerce brand.

Not life-changing money. But it changed everything about how we run our agency.

After 5 years building our retention agency to multi-7 figures, we finally decided to put our own money on the line and launch a DTC brand.

The ignorance debt? Painful.

The learning? Priceless.

Last week I had a client call with a CMO scaling a CPG brand. The conversation was completely different than it would've been a month ago.
↳ More honest
↳ More strategic
↳ More partnership, less vendor

He respected that I'm now dealing with the same cash flow decisions, the same "should we scale or not?" moments, the same creative fatigue he faces.

Here's what surprised me most about running our own brand:

The creative volume myth: Everyone preaches volume in 2025. We launched 50+ statics. One image is taking 80% of spend and driving most revenue.
We're iterating on what works, not spraying and praying.

Agency skills transfer better than expected: Our team management and operational systems are accelerating growth faster than pure marketing instincts would.

Client conversations hit different: When you're both bleeding on ad spend, the strategic depth goes 10X.

The goal? $1M in year one.

But the real win is already here: becoming the kind of agency partner I'd actually want to work with.

To the brand owners reading this – you now know we actually get it.

To the agencies reading this – consider putting your own money where your mouth is.

What's your biggest surprise from stepping outside your comfort zone?

#DTC #ecommerce #agencylife #entrepreneurship

The best client call I've had in 5 years happened last week.

Not because of what I said.

Because of what I'm now doing.

Context: We've run a retention marketing agency for 5 years, scaled to multi-7 figures, worked with 130+ DTC brands.

Last month, we launched our own e-commerce brand.

Yesterday, I jumped on a call with a CMO scaling a CPG brand.

The conversation was completely different.
→ He asked deeper questions
→ I gave more honest answers and showed off our whole funnel
→ We talked strategy, not tactics
→ It felt like a partnership, not a vendor relationship

Why?

Because now when I say "I understand the pressure you're under," he knows I actually do.

I'm running the same Meta campaigns. Making the same scale/pause decisions.

Dealing with the same creative puzzles.

Here's what I'm seeing after 30 days as a brand owner:

Different skill sets matter at different stages:

Most e-com entrepreneurs are incredible at 0→1. They can launch and hit $1M faster than anyone.

Most agency operators are incredible at 1→∞. We build systems, teams, and infrastructure that scales.

We're leveraging 5 years of operational excellence to move through the 0→1 phase.

And I think the 1→∞ phase will come easier to us than most brand owners.

The agency mentality in e-com is an unfair advantage:
- We already know how to manage 37 people
- We already have tight feedback loops
- We already think in systems, not tactics
- We already know what good operations look like at scale

But most importantly:

Our client calls are now 10X more valuable.

Because we're not just consultants anymore.

We're operators who actually understand what it feels like to watch your ad account burn cash at 2am wondering if you should kill that campaign or let it run.

To the brand owners: You want an agency that's been in the trenches WITH you, not just advising FROM the sidelines.

To the agency owners: If you want elite client relationships, consider becoming a client of your own advice.

What's the biggest credibility unlock you've experienced in business?

#agencylife #DTC #ecommerce #entrepreneurship #retention

We blew past a client's Black Friday revenue goal with this counterintuitive move

Most people won't do it because it feels "wrong."

Standard Black Friday playbook: Go live with sale, send a bunch of emails, end the sale, move on.

Our playbook:
- Early Black Friday sale (2 weeks out)
- Break for a week
- Main Black Friday sale

Two peaks beat one peak.

Every time.

Why this works:

Captures early buyers who plan ahead. Creates FOMO during the "break." 

Gives you two chances to hit the inbox. Segments naturally emerge (early vs. procrastinators).

Then we do one more thing that prints an extra chunk of cash at the end:

Send an email the day AFTER the sale "ends."

Subject: "I spoke with our warehouse manager..."

Body: "Our sale crushed it. Got approval for one more day."

Is it a little cheeky? Yes.

Does it work? Every single time.

#emailmarketing #ecommerce #DTC

We just unlocked an extra $50k for a client with ONE email
Sent the day BEFORE their BFCM sale went live…

Most brands spend Black Friday week sending vague teasers.

We do something different.

The day before the sale starts, we send what we call "The Postman Email" (because it always delivers 📬)

Subject line: "Don't buy from us today"

Wait, what?

People open it thinking "this brand is telling me NOT to buy?"

Then we hit them with: "Don't buy today because our sale starts TOMORROW. 
You'll pay full price if you shop now."

Results:
- 600+ new SMS subscribers in a single send
- 64% open rate on our first sale email which generated a ton of revenue
- Hundreds of purchases that wouldn't have happened

The lesson: Prime your list BEFORE the sale drops.

Everyone else is designing fancy campaigns.

We're focused on making sure people actually SEE them.

I'm including an example of this type of email below so you can steal it for your Black Friday sale.

You'll thank me later.
