      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.

          Hey @afinch !

          Welcome to the Klaviyo Community!

          You certainly have an interesting background! Owning your own men’s skincare brand and being the director of a small city must keep your inbox very full! How do you keep it all balanced? I am a former cosmetologist who loves skin care and would love to see what you have to offer, what is your website? When it comes to learning and growth you came to the right place! Our goal is to foster a community of peer-2-peer learning and collaboration so everyone can see the success they dreamed of. 

          I look forward to collaborating with you and thank you for being a valued member of the Klaviyo Community!

          Hi all, 

           my name is Katja and I am passionate about many things (philosophy, animals, my vegan life) and E-Commerce is what I am currently all into! 

          I am with vierglueck.de and since we are a really small team, I have taken over the technical aspects of running an online shop.

          vierglueck.de is trying to establish a new way of economics and our goal in everything we do is to increase fairness for all in this world. 

          Looking forward to learning lots of new things here!

          Greetings from Germany, 

          Katja

          Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself.

           

          I’m a 2x Brand Founder and Entrepreneur. I co-founded and ran Bearded Brothers energy bars for eight years and then founded and ran D2C CBD brand for 2.5 years.


          After merging my CBD brand with another more prominent brand, I started helping brands with their email marketing because of my success with my CBD brand.

           

          I’m a huge fan of email marketing because of its power to retain customers.

           

          Outside of the eCommerce and digital marketing world, I love spending time with my wife and three kids, trail running, and camping with our Overlanding rig. Cloud Croft, New Mexico, and the Guadalupe Mountains are our favorite places.

          I help CPG and D2C Brands with Email Marketing and Digital Strategy https://www.calebsimpson.com
