For Health & Wellness Brands
I run growth marketing for fitness and wellness brands where acquisition cost is measured against lifetime membership value — not first-month signups that churn by week six.

January is great. Your agency scales spend, new members pour in, and the dashboard looks incredible. By March, half of them have churned. Your agency still counts them as wins. Your P&L doesn't.
They're running the same "New Year, New You" campaign template they sell to every gym, studio, and wellness brand. Same stock imagery. Same discount offer. Same broad targeting that attracts deal-seekers who cancel the moment the promo ends.
You know your best members come from community — referrals, events, word of mouth. But your agency can't measure that. They optimize for the cheapest signup and call it growth while your retention team drowns in low-intent members who never showed up after the first week.
They fill your funnel with signups. You need members who stay.
I optimize acquisition around 90-day retention, not first-visit signups. Every campaign is measured against how many members are still active three months later — because a $200 member who stays 18 months is worth 10x a $20 trial that churns in two weeks.
Seasonal strategy that doesn't just spike in January and pray. Year-round demand gen with creative that attracts your actual community — not discount hunters. Geo-targeted campaigns that fill capacity where you need it, when you need it.
I co-founded TrueCoach and scaled it to 20,000 customers. I've run growth for CrossFit, GORUCK, and Savage Race. I understand membership economics, community-driven brands, and why the best wellness businesses grow through retention, not just acquisition.

Aligned to retained members, not signups.
Acquisition. Retention economics. Community-aware growth.
Community-first creative that attracts your people, not deal-seekers. Prospecting, retargeting, and lookalike audiences built from your best retained members.
High-intent search capture for buyers actively looking. Geo-targeted campaigns by location, radius targeting, and Google Business Profile optimization.
Year-round campaign calendar that smooths the January spike. Q1 acquisition, Q2-Q3 retention campaigns, Q4 pre-sale and gifting. No more feast-or-famine.
Tracking that connects ad spend to 30/60/90-day retention rates — not just first visits. See which campaigns bring members who actually stay.
CAC mapped against member LTV by acquisition channel. Churn cohort analysis. Break-even modeling so you know exactly what a retained member is worth.
Paid acquisition blended with referral programs and community events. Blended CAC across organic and paid — because your best growth channel is your existing members.
Fast onboarding. Retention clarity. Members who stay.
I map your churn curves, retention cohorts, and true member LTV by acquisition source. You get clarity on which channels bring members who stay — and which bring members who cancel.
Server-side tracking connected to your membership platform. A dashboard showing CAC, 90-day retention, and member LTV by campaign — not just signups.
Geo-targeted campaigns go live. Daily optimization against retention-weighted metrics. Weekly async updates via Slack and Loom. Seasonal calendar activated.
Kill campaigns that bring high-churn members. Scale channels that produce retained members. Feed retention signals back into targeting. Growth compounds as your community grows.
