Use behaviour and context to decide whether a message is useful, including when to stay quiet.

Marketing automationwith a clearercommercial purpose.
I lead marketing automation across people, platforms and delivery. My focus is how customer signals become useful decisions, and how teams make those decisions consistently.
My point of view
Start with what the customer needs next.
A journey earns its place when it helps someone get value, make a decision or solve a problem. That is the standard I want automation to meet.
Give marketing, sales and product a clear way to coordinate the next step.
Name who can change the journey, approve an exception and answer for the outcome.
Set the decision, limits and evidence required before giving a system more autonomy.
From strategy to delivery
Make the next decision easier.
Look at where customers stall and where teams repeat work.
Agree the data, responsibilities and checks before choosing another tool.
Test a bounded workflow with the people who will use it.
Review adoption, quality and effort before making a larger commitment.
Selected work
