Longridge, Preston ยท UK work@laurencekellett.co.uk 07772 702909 LinkedIn English

Over a decade in B2B and B2C marketing, specialising in CRM, lifecycle strategy, and multi-channel campaign management โ€” email, SMS, WhatsApp, webinars, and beyond โ€” with a consistent focus on retention, engagement, and revenue.

I untangle operational knots, build the systems others rely on and still care about what lands in the inbox. I've consolidated complex systems down into manageable tools, delivered huge email nurture overhauls a full quarter early, and built tools and frameworks using AI that have fundamentally changed the pace at which I work, and my company can operate.

Highly organised, endlessly curious, an eye for clean design, and genuinely obsessed with the gap between good data and great decisions โ€” I bring structure and creativity to everything, in equal measure.
