The New York DTC Market
New York is the headquarters of US ecommerce. The density of brands operating in beauty, fashion, food, wellness, and home goods categories is unmatched, and these are precisely the categories where Klaviyo-driven retention pays the highest dividends. For NY brands at any meaningful scale, email is not a "nice to have" channel; it's a primary source of compounding revenue.
The local agency market is correspondingly deep. Avex, Newbird, Karizma, and dozens of smaller specialists serve NY ecommerce brands. The choice isn't whether to hire an expert agency, there are many, it's which one best fits your category, your scale, and your team. Most NY brands at $5M+ revenue have already worked with at least one email agency by the time they consider switching, and the bar for what counts as "good" execution has gone up accordingly.
— Why us
Why NY Brands Consider an International Specialist
For NY brands evaluating agencies, the standard checklist is: Klaviyo certification, named clients in your category, demonstrated revenue impact, team depth. We meet those criteria, and add cross-Pacific market coverage that local US agencies cannot. For NY brands targeting international expansion (UK, AU, NZ), running multi-region Klaviyo from a single agency partner with on-the-ground AU presence is an unusual capability.
For NY brands focused exclusively on the US market, the relative advantage narrows. We compete on the same axes as the best NY agencies, depth of Klaviyo focus, named operator experience (Pete's Relaxium role, the Popl Y-Combinator engagement), and proprietary methodology (DORTA). The decision usually comes down to specific case study fit.
How we diagnose every Klaviyo account.
Most email programs don't fail dramatically, they decay slowly. Across $180M+ in attributed revenue and 800+ brands, every decaying program fails at one of five sequential layers. DORTA names them so we can fix them in order.
L.01
Delivered
Inbox placement is the foundation. Authentication, list hygiene, engagement-based suppression.
L.02
Opened
Inbox trust is behavioural memory. Six irrelevant emails train subscribers not to open the seventh.
L.03
Read
One email, one message, one action. Most ecommerce email is too long and asks too early.
L.04
Trusted
Trust is the difference between a 12% attribution rate and a 42% one. It compounds across every send.
L.05
Acted
Conversion is the output of every layer working together. Most "conversion problems" are actually trust or read problems.

Questions about New York.
Q.01 Are you EST-aligned for New York clients? +
— Answer
Yes. NY client work runs in EST/EDT hours, calls scheduled in client time, Slack response within US business hours. The Adelaide HQ is operationally invisible for most engagements.
Q.02 Do you have NY-based clients in our category? +
— Answer
Our portfolio spans 800+ brands across the US, including a meaningful share in NY. Specific category and scale references are available on request, fastest path is to share your category and revenue range, and we'll confirm relevant case study coverage before a call.
Q.03 How do you compare to Avex, Newbird, or Karizma? +
— Answer
All are reputable NY-based Klaviyo specialists. Compared to them, we offer cross-Pacific market coverage and senior operator experience (Pete as Head of Retention at Relaxium). For NY brands without international expansion plans, the choice typically comes down to specific case study fit and team chemistry, competence is comparable across the better NY specialists.
Q.04 What is the DORTA method? +
— Answer
DORTA is our proprietary diagnostic framework: Delivered, Opened, Read, Trusted, Acted. Every Klaviyo program that's underperforming fails at one of these five layers, in order. Fixing layer 5 (conversion) when layer 1 (deliverability) is broken just paints over the real problem. We diagnose all five before recommending any work.
Q.05 How do you measure success? +
— Answer
We measure in revenue per recipient (RPR), flow contribution as a percentage of total email revenue, and incremental revenue (validated via holdout testing where applicable). We do not measure in open rates, post-iOS 15, opens are a corrupted signal.
Q.06 What's included in your free Klaviyo audit? +
— Answer
