Marketing Communications Executive

DBS Bank

Corporate Banking Analyst

When was the last time anyone questioned the financial outcomes of retention marketing activities?

Going by the logic:

Every action you take must have a future expectation of results...

Nothing should be left to best practices or "experience".

This is the baseline of all good marketing.

And no one should ever settle for less.

Yet this is pretty typical for many agencies...

Trust-me-I'm-an-expert "strategy".

Nurturing customers, meeting the customer where they're at in the journey, personalisation.

Makes sense in theory, but what’s the incremental lift?

Is it the most efficient use of your limited resources?

At the 7-figure mark, trying to break 8-figures, this is an ever more crucial time.

That's what CTC's Global Accelerator Program solves for.

1. Better alignment with traditionally siloed growth <> retention teams.
2. Better agility to support a very dynamic marketing calendar.
3. Better analysis of activities that impact your P&L.

Together with Growth Strategists, Retention Strategists make this work.

At CTC, we always sign our names on the bottom line.

Because we know that’s what it really means to win.

If this speaks to you, let's chat and see if we'll be a good fit for each other.

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀.
They sell a Saturday morning feeling.

I went through 12 emails they sent in September — Pumpkin drops, Back-to-School, “Chocolate Milk Day”…

Here’s what you can actually learn 👇

1️⃣ 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 = 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻
Each email has a job, not just “sell cereal.”
Pumpkin Spice? Full launch.
Back-to-school? 3 hooks, 3 angles.

↳ Treat your emails like chapters, not blasts.

2️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
Big headline. One image. One button.
You never wonder what to click.

↳ Design for scanning, not reading.

3️⃣ 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰
“Cozy mornings in a bowl.”
They sell the feeling first, protein and fibre second.

↳ Sell the mood, then the macros.

4️⃣ 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴
“Save £5” appears — but the story drives the sale.
Feels like something you want to collect, not just buy.

↳ Scarcity without shouting still converts.

5️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 = 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Same tone. Same footer. Same rhythm.
You know it’s Magic Spoon from the first line.

↳ Familiar brands get read more.

Every email felt like a spoonful of identity.
Fun, clean, snackable, just like the product.

👉 Want your brand’s emails to feel this good (and convert like it too)?
DM me “𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁.”
