Who I Am

Not just email.
Full-stack marketing ops.

I'm Suryansh Upadhyay — a Lifecycle Marketing & Marketing Automation Specialist based in India, with a track record of delivering for U.S. and global clients fully remotely. I've built everything from premium newsletters to complete CRM ecosystems from scratch.

At Technology Advice (U.S.), I owned Beyond the Balance Sheet — a premium finance newsletter that consistently hit 48–52% open rates, nearly double the industry average. That kind of result doesn't come from just hitting send. It comes from clean lists, tight segmentation, the right triggers, and relentless QA.

Before that, I ran marketing operations for 12+ clients simultaneously at a fast-paced agency — adapting to whatever tools each client used, building systems that replaced entire manual workflows, and leading cross-functional teams across ads, SEO, and web.

I'm now open to full-time remote roles and select freelance projects in lifecycle marketing, marketing automation, and CRM setup.
