She specialises in creating communications that combine clarity, typographic and spacial sensitivity with memorability and the achievement of commercial objectives, and is also an accomplished photographer.
Organisations that thrive at eCRM demand compelling communications that play to the strengths of CRM technology. In order to thrive, an organisation needs the eCRM agency they work with to deliver the optimum blend of efficiency and effectiveness.
We call this the Science and Art of CRM.
Efficiency is the science of doing things right. There’s a science to audience segmentation, to deploying active content in emails and to many other areas of CRM. Each bring incremental improvements to a campaign.
Together they add up to huge increases in ROI.
Effectiveness is the art of doing the right things. There’s an art to creating the optimum campaign strategy, to designing compelling communications and to many other areas of CRM. Each bring incremental improvements to a campaign.
Together they add up to huge increases in ROI.
We would love to demonstrate how we can make your CRM thrive.
Does your organisation thrive on embracing both the Science AND Art of CRM? We believe there are eight key areas to address, in order to thrive;
1
DATA QUALITY - from a simple prospect list to a complex Single Customer View (SCV) there’s a science to thriving through data and we have over twenty years’ experience making data rock!
2
CRM STRATEGY - determining the key objectives of each CRM campaign and the optimum way to achieve those objectives. THE CRM Agency helps clients determine what Thrive should mean for their organisation. Then we help them get there… and beyond.
3
CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT - we can set you up to manage your own campaigns, do everything for you or create a combined team. Whichever route is right for you, THE CRM Agency delivers the combination of manual and automated activity required to design, develop and deliver successful CRM communications.
4
ANALYSIS & INSIGHT - we review and analyse the ongoing performance of CRM campaigns then report our findings in plain English, so our clients can achieve continuous improvement and the realisation of their core objectives.
5
CUSTOMER JOURNEY PLANNING - we design sequences of communications that transport a customer from where they are to the next (and subsequent) actions you wish them to take. We achieve this through proven workshop techniques, campaign stages and the optimum mix of the Science and Art of CRM.
6
SEGMENTED AUDIENCE - we deploy geodemographic, behavioural and attitudinal data together with personas, scenarios and customer journeys to determine the optimum segmentation model that will make your CRM thrive.
7
DELIVERY ASSURANCE - with thousands of campaigns completed and millions of customers reached and persuaded, THE CRM Agency team has the experience to design and deliver your campaigns efficiently and effectively.

ESP SELECTION - we have built strong relationships with the leading Email Service Providers (ESPs) and many other CRM software specialists making THE CRM Agency ideally placed to help you get the best out of your suppliers or help you find the right new suppliers. Together, we can make your CRM thrive.
Our founders, John Thew and Jason Holland, each have over twenty-five years experience planning and delivering successful, revenue-driving, customer communications for a wide range of market-leading clients. Many of those clients cite John and Jason’s breadth of CRM knowledge, get-things-done-right approach, and ability to align innovation and change control to business as usual (BAU) campaigns as the stand out combination that makes their CRM thrive.
Here’s what some of our clients say about THE CRM Agency’s work:

Andy Gray, Group Head of Demand & Retention, Adobe

We needed a partner that would understand the multiple streams of different messaging our players require, and could build an HTML toolkit for us that would future-proof our programmes. Not only are THE highly-skilled at creating compelling digital assets, and realising them through great code, they’re also really nice people to work with. I thoroughly recommend THE."
Ian Mason, Head of Player Communications, Camelot
