Hey @cassy.lee, great intro to the forum message! I’m Dan Jacobs, great work on the new forum.

I’m the Founder/CEO of Samadhi Marketing, a full-service email, blog content, and SMS Gold Master Partner agency.

My personal passions include hosting Wim Hof Method Workshops, teaching yoga, swimming in the ocean, and obsessing over my dog, Pocket Wolf.

Our team is passionate about utilizing Klaviyo to grow our clients’  businesses into brand authorities, nurturing tailored relationships between our clients’ brands and their customers, and pushing the boundaries of Klaviyo through custom flows.

Personally, the one thing I love most about Samadhi Marketing is how we combine Klaviyo’s campaign and flow capabilities with the blog posts we publish. Every quarter, we average out which blog post campaign topics performed the best and use Klaviyo engagement data to shape the next quarter. We also work alongside our clients’ support teams to create articles around products such as care, installation, maintenance, etc. and plug these blog posts in appropriate pre and post-purchase flows.

Here’s to exponential growth!  

Hi @DanJacobs, 

So great to have you here in the Klaviyo Community and welcome! Thanks for the kind words about the forum – we’re still growing and tweaking to make sure it’s the best space for conversation and growth for our customers and partners, so please feel free to share any feedback you have with me. 

Love hearing more about Samadhi Marketing, and how you average out top performing blog post campaigns! If there are any insights, tips or learnings from these analysis you conduct, we’d love to hear about it our Show and Tell section of the Community! 

We’re thrilled to have you here with us, and we look forward to seeing you share your expertise and knowledge with others! 
-Cass. 
p.s. Pocket Wolf has INCREDIBLE eyes! What a majestic photo! 

Hello,

I’m Robbin. I’m passionate about fitness (strength training) and wellness overall. I run with a women’s running group that has several marathoners as members. They are inspiring especially since most of them are retired, mature women. Boy, do they have energy that put younger people to shame.

As the Founder and Botanical Formulator of Violet Botanical Skincare, I love formulating plant-based skincare. I’m a believer that using and doing less to our skin is better.

I look forward to being a part of this community.

Hi @stephanieavocado! 

A very belated welcome and hello to you! We’re so excited for you to join us here in the Community forum, and thanks so much for sharing more about Avocado Mattress! So cool to see a green (pun intended?) company that focuses on responsible and natural materials that keeps our planet top of mind

Love that you’ve traveled to Big Bend - it’s SO beautiful there! I’m trying to visit as many National Parks as possible, but the list is incredibly long. I really enjoyed Mammoth Cave on a more recent trip, and would recommend it as one of the funkier parks to visit! 

If you get the chance, I’d love if you’d share a recipe you enjoyed from your “traveling the world” kitchen experience! Sounds like a super fun activity, given the global circumstances. As a fellow foodie myself, I low-key wouldn’t mind a mattress made of avocados...avocados are in hot demand with all the toast its making! lol 

So great to meet you, and thanks again for joining us here! We’re excited to hear more about your marketing journey with Avocado Mattress and Klaviyo! 
-Cass. 

Hi Robbin @Violetbodyme 

So great to meet you, and thanks for joining our growing Klaviyo Community – we’re so excited to have you here! We’re thrilled to learn more about Violet Botanical Skincare, and your journey in growing your business. Also, love that you’re in a running group with marathon members. Have you done a marathon yourself? Sometimes I think about if I could work up to it, but I can barely motivate myself to finish a 5k  I’ll take it one day at a time! 

We’re looking forward to hearing more about your ecommerce journey, and any strategies/learnings from your experience with Klaviyo. 

Cheers, 
-Cass. 

Hi Cass,

Thank you for your welcome to the group.

No, I’ve never ran a marathon nor do I have the desire. A 10K is my limit.

Take care,

Robbin

Hi everyone!

My name is Ahsan Habib. I enjoy reading and hanging with my family.

I am a Developer and Email Marketing Expert. I have worked on a bunch of ESP and e-commerce platforms. Now want to focus only Klaviyo and Shopify.
 
Looking forward to learning and sharing about Klaviyo! Thank you, all!

Hello All, 

My name is Alan Simpson, I am a partner at the Elite Brands agency & responsible for all agency messaging & design. I have been working in email marketing since the early 2000s & am always keen to share a story about the crazy old days.

I come from a copywriting background, but have always worked closely with design teams. I design & write all our client’s emails (We like to say that my partner does the plumbing, I hang the wallpaper).

I am a complete language geek, a total marketing weirdo. If the names Howard Gossage, Ernest Schwartz & Phillip Kotler mean anything to you then there’s a shared drink in our future.

I have worked for NGOs, Fortune 500s & just about everything in between. Email was always a solid component of a sometimes turbulent space. When I lived in the Netherlands I was an eCommerce Content Specialist at TomTom and the Senior Copywriter at Booking.com. I have worked with MTV, Comedy Central, Oxfam Novib, Amnesty International as well as a lot of smaller companies as well.

At the end of the day, the work is the same: Getting the right message to the right person in the right place at the right time. Delivering relevance.

As Gossage said “People don’t read ads, they read what interests them. Sometimes it’s an ad”.

Automated behaviourally-predictive targeted emails would have blown his socks right off.

I spend roughly 6 hours a day in the Klaviyo editor, not because I have to, but because I’m a geek remember - I’m like a kid with a new toy. Back in the 90s when I started in marketing, & in the 2000s when I began in email we could only have dreamed of a tool like Klaviyo. Now we get to drive the thing - its amazing.

I look forward to learning more here.
