How OLLY Built a Retention Engine for a Brand Sold Everywhere

Acquisition is getting tighter! In this episode, we flip the script and talk about the lever most brands under-invest in: retention + lifecycle marketing.

Taylor is joined by Jennifer Peters, Director of DTC, MarTech & Digital Compliance at OLLY (a Unilever brand), to break down how they think about keeping customers coming back when the brand is sold everywhere — from Target and Walmart to their own DTC site.

We get into what retention really means beyond “subscription,” how to message customers when you don’t want to channel-shift them, and how OLLY is using loyalty (including receipt scanning) to better understand in-store shoppers.

What you’ll learn:

How OLLY drives retention across DTC + retail
Email vs SMS strategy, plus segmentation that prevents “list blasting”
Using loyalty + receipt scanning to understand in-store shoppers
Setting smarter KPIs for promos, launches, and content
Why they chose Attentive, how they handled ESP migration, and where AI actually helps
The first retention moves: audit flows, refresh creative, nail the basics

If you’re running ecommerce for a consumable, CPG, or multi-channel brand, this is a must-watch for building a retention engine that actually scales.
