A D2C brand faced rising churn despite frequent campaigns because retention actions were broad, reactive, and weakly targeted.
NovaNous introduced churn propensity scoring tied to segment-specific intervention playbooks across onboarding, repeat purchase, and win-back windows.
The team prioritized high-risk, high-value cohorts first and aligned campaign intensity to predicted churn probability and margin constraints.
Retention operations moved from blanket discounts to decision-led orchestration, improving both customer experience and promotional efficiency.
Over the next quarters, the brand improved retention durability and increased customer lifetime value with better intervention precision.
