4. Track Product Analytics & Campaign ROI
Define and monitor core activation funnels, usage decay metrics, and feature retention cohorts, demonstrating a clear correlation between email usage and platform retention.

5. Execute Cross-Functional Growth Strategy
Partner closely with Product Marketing, Growth Engineering, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations to deploy targeted growth campaigns and adoption initiatives.
