Retention Marketing Specialist with 3 years of experience scaling D2C brands in women’s wellness and beauty & personal care. At Urban Essentials (Plush), I own the end‑to‑end retention ecosystem across email, WhatsApp, SMS, push, and RCS — building loyalty, referral, and lifecycle programs that drive measurable growth. I spearheaded the launch of the Popcoins loyalty program, doubling repeat purchase rates among enrolled customers, and built the referral marketing engine, contributing 12–15% of new acquisitions at 30% lower CAC than paid channels. My work on GoKwik cart abandonment recovery flows achieved a 22% recovery rate, while a 40‑segment RFM architecture reduced blanket discounting by 40%. With deep expertise in MoEngage, CleverTap, WebEngage, and Klaviyo, I combine technical CRM infrastructure with data‑driven lifecycle automation to maximize repeat purchases, reduce churn, and grow sustainable LTV. MBA‑qualified, I bring a strong foundation in marketing, analytics, and technology — always balancing customer growth with margin health. #RetentionMarketing | #LifecycleMarketing | #CRMStrategy | #CustomerLoyalty | #ReferralMarketing | #DataDrivenGrowth | #D2CMarketing | #MarketingAutomation | #CustomerRetention | #LTVGrowth
