Lifecycle Marketing Agency for B2B
Run Your Lifecycle Program With a Point of View.
Lifecycle marketing is more than a stack of email flows. Directive turns customer data into timely touchpoints that strengthen pipeline, retention, and expansion.
The Opportunity Most Teams Walk Right Past
The strongest lifecycle signals are already in your CRM, from renewal timing and product usage to job changes and activation milestones. Without a system to act on, expansion, retention, and advocacy get left to chance.
We define what a healthy customer looks like, which moments matter, and how your brand should respond. Then we build the lifecycle program around that point of view so every touchpoint has a clear role in revenue.
Give Every Customer Relationship a Growth Strategy.
Customer Data Audit & Segmentation
Before we build a single flow, we analyze your customer data: purchase history, account structure, reorder frequency, category mix, and churn signals. Most companies have the ERP and CRM data, few turn it into strategy.
Lifecycle Program Architecture
We design the full program structure: welcome series, reorder triggers calibrated to procurement cycles, category expansion sequences, contract renewal campaigns, and winback flows. Every flow maps to a revenue outcome, not an engagement metric.
Email Strategy & Execution
B2B email built around purchase behavior, not demographics, with account-level personalization that reflects each buyer’s catalog, pricing tier, and order history. Deliverability managed as a discipline because an email that does not land is a revenue opportunity that does not either.
SMS Strategy & Execution
SMS in B2B is a precision instrument, not a broadcast channel. We build SMS flows for reorder prompts timed to procurement cycles, inventory alerts for high-velocity SKUs, order and shipment notifications, and time-sensitive contract renewal activation.
Lifecycle × Commerce Integration
We connect your lifecycle program to Amazon purchase signals, Shopping feed performance, and ERP reorder data so your email and SMS programs inform your entire commerce footprint, not just your ESP.
Are We the Right B2B Lifecycle Agency for You?
Distributors & Manufacturers With Repeat Buyers
Companies with large active account bases where reorder velocity, category expansion, and wallet share growth represent more near-term revenue opportunity than new acquisition is where opportunity is currently going unworked.
Organizations Where Marketing and Sales Need to Talk
B2B lifecycle marketing doesn’t end with an email send. It includes sales play triggers, account alerts, and renewal signals the sales team needs to act on. We build programs that align marketing automation with sales outreach, not programs that exist in a silo.
Companies That Measure Marketing on Revenue Retained
Marketing leaders accountable for NRR, churn rate, and expansion revenue who need a lifecycle program tied directly to those outcomes in a board-ready report.
Where We're Not the Right Fit We'll Be Straight With You.

OUR PROCESS & IMPACT
The Lifecycle Marketing Problems We Solve.
Emails With No Segmentation
You are sending the same message to your entire customer list on a monthly cadence and measuring success by open rate. It’s a mix of enterprise accounts, small buyers, dormant customers, and active reorderers. The result is declining engagement, accelerating list churn, and zero visibility into which accounts are actually at risk. Directive rebuilds segmentation around purchase behavior and account structure so every message goes to the right buyer at the right moment in their procurement cycle.
No Trigger Logic Tied to Cycles
Your reorder reminders go out on a fixed schedule regardless of whether a buyer actually purchases on that cycle. For a maintenance account that orders quarterly, you are either emailing too often and creating fatigue or missing the window entirely. We build trigger logic calibrated to real reorder windows by category, account type, and purchase history to ensure the message arrives when the buyer is actually ready to buy.
Platforms Nobody Uses
Your company invested in Klaviyo or Salesforce Marketing Cloud years ago. The configuration is incomplete, the automations are partially built, and nobody internally fully owns it. We audit what exists, remediate what is broken, and build what is missing without recommending a platform migration unless it is genuinely the right move.
No Revenue Attribution for Programs
Your lifecycle program runs, emails go out, and occasionally someone asks what it is actually contributing to revenue. The honest answer? Nobody knows. Directive builds revenue attribution into every program from the start: cohort analysis that shows revenue lift from lifecycle-touched accounts, category expansion tracking, churn rate by segment, and a quarterly program review that gives leadership a number they can act on.
