Lifecycle Marketing Rocket is a small, senior studio for lifecycle marketing — strategy, journeys, email design systems and AI-powered production, built in the tools you already run. No handoffs, no juniors, no bloat.

01 — The Studio ( Est. San Francisco )

Lifecycle marketing is not a newsletter calendar. It's the difference between a list and a revenue engine. We build the systems behind retention — strategy, journeys, templates, experiments and the AI tooling that ships them. Senior people only. Small on purpose. Every send argued over, until it earns its place in the inbox.

1B+ People reached by the lifecycle systems we build & run
1200+ Automated journeys designed, built & shipped
8+ yrs Running lifecycle stacks end to end
0 Handoffs — one team, start to finish

03 — Services ( What we do best )

Six things,
done properly

Before the journeys, the map. We audit your lifecycle end to end — capture to winback — find where revenue leaks, and hand you a prioritized roadmap your team can actually execute.

  • Lifecycle Audit
  • Journey Mapping
  • Segmentation
  • Retention Strategy
  • Channel Strategy
  • Measurement

Emails your team can build without you. Modular, dynamic, dark-mode-safe template systems — snippets, standards and naming conventions baked in, so production time drops by half and quality doesn't.

  • Modular Templates
  • Handlebars
  • Dark-Mode Safe
  • Snippet Libraries
  • Figma to Email
  • Accessibility

Onboarding, promos, winback, transactional — the full lifecycle, built as journeys that run themselves. We work in the tools you already use, and leave them cleaner than we found them.

  • Iterable
  • Braze
  • Klaviyo
  • Customer.io
  • Salesforce Marketing Cloud
  • HubSpot

Guessing is expensive. We build A/B and multivariate testing into the templates themselves, so marketers launch experiments with zero extra dev time — and we keep every send landing in the inbox, not the spam folder.

  • A/B & Multivariate
  • Deliverability
  • Litmus
  • Inbox Placement
  • SendGrid & Postmark
  • Amplitude

Personalization is a plumbing problem. We wire the event schema, identity resolution and pipelines that let one customer profile drive every message — across email, push, SMS and in-app.

  • Segment
  • CDP
  • Event Schema
  • Snowflake
  • Hightouch
  • APIs & Webhooks

Practical AI, zero hype. Agents and pipelines that take the repetitive half of email production off your team's plate — from Figma-to-Iterable builders to automated QA — guard-railed, and actually adopted by the team.

  • AI Email Builders
  • Figma → ESP
  • LLM Pipelines
  • Automated QA
  • Evals & Guardrails
  • Team Enablement
