• Multi-Channel Execution : Manage lifecycle communications across email, push, in-app, and product notifications to engage users at the right time and place.
• Analytics & Optimization : Track campaign performance, run A / B tests, and optimize continuously based on data insights to improve KPIs like retention, churn, and CLTV.
• Customer Segmentation : Build data-driven segmentation frameworks and scoring models to identify key personas, behaviors, and opportunities.
