Marketing Automation Specialist
I design smarter automation that improves revenue, efficiency, and customer experience
I am Alex Costin, a London-based specialist in marketing automation, digital strategy, and performance-led customer journeys. My work is built around creating systems that deliver the right message to the right person at the right time without unnecessary manual intervention.
I sit in a practical middle ground that is valuable to businesses: technical enough to work inside systems, commercial enough to understand pipeline impact, and operational enough to reduce repetitive work for teams that need faster execution and clearer results.
Marketing Automation Specialist About Me
I build marketing automation with a focus on clarity, control, and measurable business value. That means I do not automate for the sake of activity; I automate to improve response rates, speed up handoffs, strengthen customer journeys, and make teams more effective.
I have deep knowledge of tools like HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot, and Eloqua, including how their features, limits, and integrations shape what is possible in real-world campaigns. I use that knowledge to design systems that are reliable, adaptable, and aligned with the way businesses actually operate.
I master conditional logic, timing controls, and lead scoring so journeys can adapt to behavior instead of pushing every contact through the same funnel. I also map every touchpoint from awareness to purchase, because good automation depends on understanding the full path a prospect takes before making a decision.
I ask, “Should this be automated, and what breaks if it is?” before I ask, “Can we automate this?” That question helps me stay disciplined and prevents teams from creating complicated workflows that are hard to maintain or explain.

Lifecycle design
I design lifecycle journeys that guide prospects seamlessly from awareness to purchase. My aim is to make the experience feel intelligent and relevant, with each stage of communication based on what the person has done, not just what the team wants to send.
Data synchronisation
I synchronize customer data across tools so segmentation is accurate and campaigns can act on the right signals at the right time. Better data flow can lift campaign ROI by 15–35% and reduce acquisition costs by 20% when segmentation and handoff logic are precise.
Segmentation strategy
I demonstrate segmentation discipline by choosing only attributes that change action. I do not build audiences from every available field, because excessive complexity often creates noise, weakens relevance, and slows execution.
Lead management
I define what qualifies a handoff and defend that logic with data, ensuring automation supports business outcomes rather than just platform activity. That helps sales and marketing teams trust the system and work from a shared definition of readiness.
Personalization and governance
I excel at personalization without overcomplication. I understand that personalization helps, but workflows become hard to maintain when they are overengineered, so I blend technical precision with customer-focused creativity to keep automation intuitive and relevant.
Marketing Automation Specialist Process
1. Audit
I review systems, journeys, scoring rules, triggers, and data quality to find where automation helps and where it creates friction.
2. Structure
I map touchpoints, define audience logic, and set measurable goals so each workflow serves a specific business purpose.
3. Build
I implement automation with clean logic, stable integration points, and segmentation rules that are easy to maintain.
4. Refine
I validate results, inspect funnel leaks with SQL, and improve journeys based on actual performance, not assumptions.
Marketing Automation Specialist Experience
My CV reflects a broad digital marketing background that strengthens my automation work. I have experience across strategy, SEO, SEM, digital operations, analytics, website delivery, and performance improvement, which gives me a strong understanding of how automation fits into wider commercial systems.
I use SQL to query datasets, inspect funnel leaks, and validate assumptions, translating performance into actionable strategies. That analytical layer helps me move beyond platform usage and into decision-making that improves revenue, conversion, and operational efficiency.
I also understand the importance of working with teams. I collaborate well with marketers, designers, developers, and stakeholders because automation only succeeds when it is designed around both the customer and the internal process that supports delivery.
I am hardworking, self-motivated, and hungry for learning, especially when the work is technically complex or the results take time. I believe the strongest marketing automation programs are built through consistency, discipline, and a willingness to improve one step at a time.
My experience at TuneMyWebsite and in wider digital projects has shown me how to combine technical precision with commercial thinking. I bring that same mindset to automation, where the best outcomes come from systems that are understandable, scalable, and genuinely useful.
