Customer success, made operational

Strategy Hand is a London-based consultancy advising D2C, subscription and ecommerce brands on customer success, retention and review programmes.

We work with founders and CX leaders to turn customer experience into a measurable growth lever, not a cost line.

For end-to-end fulfilment and delivery, we work alongside our sister brand Dunmore Group, who specialise in logistics.

Senior consultants, not call centres

We embed alongside your team, learn how your brand really works, and shape solutions that fit your culture.

Built for subscription and D2C

We focus on the metrics that move retention, LTV and review volume for direct-to-consumer brands.

Advisory, not outsourcing

You get senior judgement and a clear plan, delivered by people who have actually run CX teams.

Outcomes you can measure

Every engagement starts with a clear set of outcomes — CSAT lift, churn reduction, review volume, cost-to-serve — and a plan to hit them.

Our Unique 4 step approach

01

Requirements

We start with a focused workshop with your founders and CX leads to understand the brand, the buyer and the goal.

02

People

We then design the operating model — the team shape, the roles, the SLAs and the partner stack needed to deliver against the outcomes agreed.

03

Technology & Process Audit

We audit the current CX stack, channels and processes — Gorgias, Zendesk, Intercom, Yotpo, Trustpilot, helpdesks, reviews flows — and recommend what to keep, replace or remove.

04

Implementation

We support your team through go-live, monitor the metrics that matter and stay close until the new model is running on its own.

Built for growth-stage brands

We work with ambitious D2C, subscription and ecommerce teams that are scaling fast and need a customer success partner who can move at the same pace — without the overhead of a traditional agency.

Traditional Agency

  • Generic playbooks built for legacy retail and BPO
  • Limited understanding of D2C, subscription and review-driven growth
  • Heavy retainers and setup fees with little tied to outcomes

Strategy Hand

  • Modern CX stack expertise — Gorgias, Zendesk, Intercom, Trustpilot, Klaviyo
  • Deep experience in D2C, subscription and ecommerce growth in the UK
  • Flexible engagements priced against outcomes, not seat-time

Traditional agencies and outsourcers are fine for traditional businesses. The brands we work with are modern D2C subscription and ecommerce companies, which are anything but traditional.

Start-up, early-stage and scale-up brands need a customer success partner who understands subscription economics, repeat purchase, retention and reviews, and can turn each of those into a measurable contribution to revenue rather than a cost on the P&L.

Lewis Daniels

CEO & Founder

Lewis founded Strategy Hand in 2019 to help modern D2C, subscription and ecommerce brands treat customer success as a growth lever rather than a cost line. He partners with founders and CX leaders to design customer success operating models, retention strategies and review programmes that turn customer experience into measurable revenue. He brings hands-on experience from some of the UK’s best-known consumer brands, with prior roles at HelloFresh, Apple, Simba Sleep and mahabis, where he saw first-hand how the right CX foundations drive repeat purchase, loyalty and brand reputation at scale.

Nick Turner

Non Exec - Data Science

Nick has advised Strategy Hand on data science since 2019, helping clients make smarter decisions with their customer data. He specialises in CX technology stacks, customer data strategy and review and reputation management, connecting the dots between data, tooling and commercial outcomes. His background spans RICS, Simba Sleep and a number of leading UK performance marketing agencies, giving him a rare blend of analytical depth and practical, growth-focused thinking.
