Klaviyo Email Marketing Expert | 30M+ Retention Revenue Generated

Before you read further, feel free to sanity-check that I’m an actual email expert, not a faceless freelancer. • LinkedIn: nicolas-olaya-zuluaga I share daily Klaviyo, email, and SMS strategies. Other marketers actively learn from this content (13K+ followers). • YouTube: @nicolasolayaofficial Real Klaviyo setups, lifecycle breakdowns, and retention strategy deep dives. If you’ve looked through any of that, you’ll notice a pattern. I don’t treat email as a channel. I treat it as infrastructure. If someone tells you “email should be 30% of your revenue or you’re doing it wrong,” run. That’s lazy math, not an actual strategy. I'm Nicolas - a retention marketing specialist who treats email & SMS not just as channels to “make more sales,” but as tools that power true brand growth. I have over 5 years of experience and have generated over $30M in attributed email & SMS revenue. I’ve helped brands across the globe scale profitably - using Klaviyo to not only generate millions in revenue but to support acquisition, CX, product development, and everything in between. I don't just set up flows and send campaigns. I build retention infrastructure that makes your entire business smarter and more profitable. What I Actually Do (That Moves the Needle): 🔍 Strategic Klaviyo Audits I don’t just look at clicks and opens. I dig into list health, deliverability, campaign execution, ZPD capture, backend config, and flow performance to uncover where you’re leaving money and customer insight on the table. ⚙️ Lifecycle Automations That Scale LTV Welcome, Abandon Cart, Post-Purchase, Winback, VIP... I build high-performing flows rooted in your brand voice, behavior-based logic, and smart segmentation, not one-size-fits-all templates. 📬 Campaign Strategy, Copy & Deployment I create campaign calendars, write conversion-driven copy, and run strategic tests to grow revenue, increase engagement, and support product launches, CX initiatives, and retention loops. 📈 List Growth, Inboxing & True Performance Optimization From building acquisition funnels to domain auth, inbox placement, RPR optimization, and cleaning dead weight from your list - I make sure your email setup runs clean and performs at scale. What Makes Me Different: ✔️ $30M+ in tracked retention revenue ✔️ 5+ years working with 7–8 figure Shopify brands ✔️ Experience across 20+ industries and 6+ countries ✔️ I don’t regurgitate fluff — check my LinkedIn or YouTube channel and see how I think ✔️ I use email to support more than just sales: CX, product dev, community-building, even acquisition ✔️ My Upwork portfolio includes real video testimonials from brands I’ve worked with How We’ll Work Together: 1️⃣ Quick discovery call - to align on your business, data, and retention goals 2️⃣ I audit, fix, or rebuild your Klaviyo setup from the ground up 3️⃣ Ongoing optimization + execution - so your retention runs like a growth machine If you're ready to treat email like the business asset it is, not just a broadcast tool, click Invite to Job or send me a message. Let’s unlock what your email channel is really capable of. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Client Feedback: “We have been using their service for a few months and our trust has only gotten better.
