WIN Marketing

Customer.io Agency

WIN plans, builds and runs Customer.io lifecycle programs, from event data to journeys to email, SMS and push. Every program has consent, suppression and measurement built in before the first send.

The short answer

What does a Customer.io agency do?

A Customer.io agency turns your product, billing and site events into automated messages that move customers to the next step. We connect the data, design the segments and journeys, write and design the email, SMS and push, then measure each journey against a holdout. WIN does all of it, and stays on to run and improve the program.

How we wire a Customer.io program

Most underperforming Customer.io accounts have the same problem: messages fire on whatever events happened to be tracked, not the ones that predict revenue. We start with the data model and work forward.

What we build in Customer.io

Customer.io is built for brands whose customers act in an app, a portal or a subscription, not just a cart. That makes it the right platform for telehealth programs, real-money gaming and subscription brands. It’s also where most generic ecommerce playbooks break.

We connect Customer.io to Google Cloud when it helps. BigQuery and predictive scoring (WINScoring) let journeys react to likelihood to churn or buy, not just the last thing someone clicked.

Compliance is part of the build, not a review at the end

Customer.io’s own acceptable use policy sets the floor. It requires recipient consent. For SMS and mobile messages about categories like gambling and alcohol, it also requires age gating by the recipient’s location and proof those controls exist. It prohibits U.S. offers for prescription medication and prohibits sending protected health information. We design to that floor and to the rules that apply to your industry.

Industries we're built for

We serve consumer brands of every kind. We’ve built specific playbooks for categories where the platform choice and the rules matter most:

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Customer.io agency do?
A Customer.io agency designs and runs your lifecycle messaging inside Customer.io: the tracking plan, segments, journeys, email/SMS/push creative, and measurement. WIN covers all of it and stays on to optimize.
Can you migrate us from Klaviyo or Braze to Customer.io?
Yes. We map your existing flows, profiles, consent records and suppression lists, rebuild the journeys in Customer.io, warm up sending, and run both platforms in parallel until the new program is proven.
Do you handle SMS in Customer.io?
Yes. We set up consent capture, registration, quiet hours and opt-out handling, then build SMS into the same journeys as email and push so customers aren't double-messaged.
How do you measure a Customer.io program?
Each major journey gets a conversion goal and a holdout group, so we can report incremental revenue, not just attributed revenue. Every result we report includes the baseline, the timeframe and how it was measured.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on data readiness, the number of journeys and channels, and whether you need ongoing campaigns. We scope it after a free audit, so the number reflects your actual account.
Do you work with regulated industries?
Yes, with lawful operators only. We build for telehealth, peptides and real-money gaming with the platform's acceptable use policy and your counsel's guidance designed in from day one.
