Customer Momentum Retainer

A senior CRM and email marketing partner.
Alongside your team.

Create or refine your plan, work through campaign and automation decisions, and build your team’s confidence with ongoing strategic guidance and coaching. Keep priorities connected to customer needs as the business changes.

For CRM and marketing leaders at established ecommerce, retail and consumer brands who need an experienced strategic partner alongside their internal team.

Does this sound familiar?

You need a clear plan.
And support to take it forward.

You may need to create the plan, turn strategic priorities into campaigns and automation, or help team members build their confidence. Day-to-day requests still need attention, while the work needs to stay connected to customer and commercial goals.

  • You need a CRM and email marketing plan, or a clearer direction for the one you have.
  • You want help planning campaigns and automated journeys around customer needs.
  • Your team would benefit from coaching and a senior sounding board as it takes the work forward.

Your questions

Before you decide.

Will you work alongside our existing team?

Yes. The retainer provides senior strategic support alongside the people who own your CRM and email marketing programme, including coaching for team members where agreed.

Is hands-on execution included?

Campaign and automation planning can form part of the retainer. Hands-on execution, such as building and deploying campaigns or automations, is scoped and agreed separately.

Do we need a Customer Momentum Review first?

No. A Review can help when the evidence and priorities need clarifying. If you already have a clear direction, we can discuss ongoing support from there.

How is the support structured?

We agree the objectives, scope and working arrangements before starting, based on what your team needs.
