CEO & Founder

Pepped is a boutique lifecycle marketing agency that helps growing health and wellness businesses attract, convert and retain more customers.

We work with businesses in the UK and US who are disrupting the fitness, health and wellness industry, from Unicorn status global brands such as Houzz and Hims to scale-ups such as Alexia Clark LLC and Jennis (Dame Jessica Ennis-Hills's fitness app)

Pepped is a collective of experienced marketing specialists who put health and wellness at the very heart of what they do.

► We specialise in the following areas; lifecycle marketing, CRM, email marketing, customer journey mapping, lead acquisition, content creation, content strategy, sales funnel optimisation, copywriting, website design, customer retention, customer engagement, customer loyalty and referral strategy.

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 started Lem-uhn as I knew there could be a better type of PR agency.
