Running an agency while raising two tiny humans has taught me this:

Progress doesn’t always look loud.

Some weeks it’s:
 – one good client conversation
 – one clearer proposal
 – one less thing over-engineered

And that’s still momentum.

✨ Sustainable growth > dramatic growth
 🍒 In business and in life.

Helping DTC lifestyle brands retain customers with data-driven email & SMS marketing | Founder @ Pepped | Top 100 Female Entrepreneur

Email rarely fails because of bad tools.
 
It fails because no one really owns it.

In a lot of growing DTC teams, email sits in an awkward middle ground:
 ✨ Not quite brand
 ✨ Not quite performance
 ✨ Not quite retention

So it becomes:
 • “Good enough”
 • Lightly maintained
 • Slightly neglected

Flows exist. Campaigns go out. Results are… fine-ish.

But no one is accountable for asking:

 💌 Is this actually doing what we need it to do now?

When email has clear ownership, everything changes:
 – Priorities sharpen
 – Decisions get easier
 – Optimisation becomes intentional, not reactive

Email doesn’t need more volume.

It needs clearer leadership.

Real-life email moment I keep seeing 👇

A beautifully designed campaign…

...that goes to everyone.

Same message.
Same timing.
Same CTA.

Missed opportunity.

Even light segmentation (engaged vs lapsed, first-time vs repeat) can:
 – sharpen relevance
 – improve confidence in the channel
 – make results easier to explain internally

You don’t need complex logic.

You need thoughtful intent.

 #EmailExamples #LifecycleMarketing #DTCEmail #CRMStrategy #Retention

Good retention strategy doesn’t feel frantic.

It feels:
 • Calm
 • Intentional
 • Boring (in the best way)

🍒 You know what you’re optimising.
 🍒 You know why a campaign exists.
 🍒 You know which levers matter this quarter.

When retention is working, it doesn’t demand constant attention.

It quietly compounds in the background.

That’s the goal.

Not more activity — more confidence.

Most of the brands we work with don’t come to us because email is new.

They come because:

 – it’s grown messy
 – no one fully owns it
 – confidence in performance has dipped

Our job isn’t to shout louder.

It’s to bring clarity:

What’s working, what’s not, and what’s worth fixing first.

I’m the Creative Director at Outmost, an award-winning animation studio.

For over 15 years, I’ve helped brands produce video content that works — beautifully. We uncover what matters most to your audience, then craft it into story-led content that draws your audience in. 

Think of it like your core message, wrapped in an engaging wrapper. 

The result? Brand films, explainers, and PR campaigns that cut through and deliver the goods. 

So if you need animated video that connects, converts, and delivers, let’s talk.

We had so much fun working on this one. I'll share project assets over the coming weeks to show how it all came together.

Case Study: ONE CSP

We recently partnered with the The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy on ONE CSP. An initiative to strengthen members' sense of belonging and participation.

The challenge wasn't just awareness. It was helping members see participation is a real possibility for them, and the clear benefits. 

Our approach:
👉 A script that makes people feel validated, and interested to explore
👉 A visual approach that feels welcoming, inclusive, and confident
👉 An animation that draws the eye in the all the right places. 
👉 A clear CTA: sign up

Can't wait to hear the long term results!

Big thanks to Jennie Edmondson & Becca Bryant for being super lovely clients as always :)

We craft animation to perform beautifully | Creative Director @ Outmost

We like loops, it turns out. These are looping shorts we created for ONE CSP.

👉 What are looping shorts? 
Sub-20 seconds. 
Designed to loop seamlessly. 
No sound by design. 
Perfect for social feeds. 

👉 Why do they work? 
Continuous motion holds attention.
You watch it twice without realising.
Each loop reinforces the message. 

For The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, these sat alongside the main explainer. 

The loops stop the scroll.
The explainer drives conversions.

Here are the social shorts we did as part of ONE CSP. All made by recutting the original VO, and stitching together sections of the animation.
