First-Time Buyer Orchestration

Multi-Channel Customer Journey & Content Strategy

First-Time Buyer Orchestration

Project Overview

Led the development of a comprehensive first-time buyer orchestration journey designed to encourage repeat purchases through strategic multi-channel communication. This project spanned across multiple teams within the martech and engineering departments, creating a sophisticated customer journey that combines promotional incentives with intelligent automation for both Hollister and Abercrombie Adults brands.

The orchestration workflow begins with an immediate welcome email containing a promo code, followed by a series of strategically timed communications that include additional promotional offers to drive urgency and incentivize conversion. The system incorporates advanced testing capabilities with control and variant paths (T1–T4) for performance optimization.

Orchestration Workflow

1. Welcome Email Sequence

Immediate welcome email with promotional code to incentivize first repeat purchase, setting the foundation for the customer journey.

2. Timing-Based Follow-ups

Additional email touches sent based on strategic timing rules, each containing promotional codes to maintain engagement and drive urgency.

3. A/B Testing Framework

Control and variant paths (T1–T4) for later emails, enabling performance comparisons and continuous optimization of messaging strategies.

4. Cross-Channel Integration

Push notification branch triggered after first email send to reinforce engagement through additional communication channels.

5. Intelligent Suppression

API-driven suppression logic that continuously monitors buyer activity, automatically halting communications upon purchase to prevent over-messaging.

My Key Contributions

Content Development

Built out all email content and push notification copy, ensuring brand consistency while optimizing for conversion and engagement across multiple touchpoints.

Multi-Brand Content Development

Built out all email content and push notification copy for both Hollister and Abercrombie Adults brands, ensuring brand consistency while optimizing for conversion and engagement across multiple touchpoints.

Multi-Brand Sandbox Testing

Collaborated with Cordial partners during sandbox testing phases for both Hollister and Abercrombie Adults accounts, learning about orchestration workflows, timing rules, and suppression mechanisms while providing content expertise and feedback.

Cross-Team Coordination

Worked closely with Cordial engineers and internal teams to ensure seamless integration of promotional codes, API calls, and suppression logic within the orchestration framework.
