Lessons from the inside

Before launching one-over-four, I spent ten years working in-house—across brands of every size, stage, audience, and industry.

I’ve seen where marketing works, and where it breaks. Which has given me the instinct to know what to focus on, what to fix, and how to build marketing that works—and lasts.

A start-up entering new international markets. 

I saw how lean teams break through crowded spaces, get customers in, and fight to keep them. 

A legacy, global market leader expanding into new categories.

I saw what it takes to modernise and stay relevant—while still serving the original customers. 

A scaling SaaS unicorn on the path to profitability.

Efficiency as a throughline 

My experience lies exclusively within lifecycle marketing—where the focus is on driving meaningful engagement and sustainable growth at every stage of the customer journey.

Thats how Ive always operated. First through training. Then by instinct. 

And it’s why there are six core principles I come back to with every brand: 

My experience has given me a unique lens on growth:
it’s not how fast, it’s how smart that matters. 

01

Not all metrics
are created equal. 

04

Stop relying on paid.
Start using what’s free. 

02

Acquisition fires
the starting gun. 

06

Every tactic should have impact.

05

Audiences don’t move
in straight lines.

03

Relevance beats reach.

Vanity metrics are easy to chase. Efficiency metrics are what actually deliver growth that lasts.

Without effective onboarding, retention, and reactivation strategies, most brands never make it to the finish though.

Relevance beats reach. 

Speak to the right people, and the message lands. Speak to everyone, and it gets ignored.

Stop relying on paid.
Start using what’s free. 

Email, SMS, push, in-app, on-site, and more—these are your most high-impact growth levers hiding in plain sight.

Audiences don’t move
in straight lines.

Customer behaviour is messy. Smart marketing adapts in real time—based on user-level signals, not rigid stages.

Every tactic should have impact.

Every activity should be tied to value—measured, intentional, and aligned to real business value.

An agency model built for efficiency 

If you opt for the “Full agency” service, I scale the team to match your needs—drawing from a trusted network of senior specialists I’ve worked with for over a decade. They’re brought in only when they’ll add real value. 

Meaning you don’t pay for overhead like with a traditional agency. You pay for outcomes.
