Your Emails Deserve Better Than the Spam Folder
I rebuild broken email programmes for e-commerce and B2B brands — deliverability fixes, automation flows, and campaigns that actually reach the inbox and drive revenue.
Most of my work starts with an account someone else broke.
People rarely come to me to start email marketing. They come because they already tried — a Mailchimp account someone set up two years ago, a quiet list, and open rates that fell off a cliff without anyone being able to say why. I've spent 3 years on that one problem. Mailchimp and Klaviyo builds, domain authentication, list hygiene, and hand-coded HTML that renders properly in Outlook as well as Gmail. No drag-and-drop builders. I work from Bangladesh with clients across the US, UK, Europe and the Middle East. I reply within 24 hours, and I'll tell you when something isn't worth building rather than build it and invoice you. Zeplo Studio is the name I work under. It's me — no account managers, no junior handoff.
Six services. One specialist. Your entire email programme.
Audits, platform builds, automation flows, hand-coded campaigns, list cleanup, and landing pages — for e-commerce and B2B brands on Mailchimp or Klaviyo.
Campaign & Newsletter Design
Hand-coded, table-based HTML that renders the same in Outlook 2016 as it does in Gmail on an iPhone. Editable by your team afterwards.
Segmentation & List Cleanup
Removing the dead weight dragging your reputation down, then splitting what's left so the right message reaches the right person.
Landing Pages & Signup Forms
Lead magnet pages and forms that feed your list properly — connected, tagged, and firing the right automation from day one.
Deliverability Audit & Recovery
Emails landing in spam? I diagnose the cause — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain authentication, list health — and rebuild your sender reputation with a documented plan.
Platform Setup & Migration
Full Mailchimp or Klaviyo builds from scratch, or clean migrations between platforms without losing data, automations, or subscriber history.
Automation Flows
Welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, and re-engagement sequences — built, tested, and documented so they keep earning without you touching them.

How I Work
Four steps. No guesswork.
Most email programmes fail because nobody checked the foundations first. Here's the order I work in, and exactly what lands in your inbox at the end of each stage.
-
01 — Audit
Find what's actually broken
I review your sending domain, authentication records, list health, and campaign history — then tell you plainly which of those is costing you money.
You get: a written audit with prioritised fixes -
02 — Strategy
Agree the plan before any build
We settle scope, timeline, and what success looks like in numbers. You approve it in writing, so nothing gets built that you didn't ask for.
You get: a scoped plan with fixed dates -
03 — Build
Ship it, tested everywhere
Flows, templates, segments, and domain authentication — built by hand in table-based HTML and checked in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail before it goes live.
You get: a live, documented setup you own -
04 — Report
Know what worked, monthly
A plain-English report every month: what performed, what didn't, and the two or three things I'd change next. No dashboards you'll never open.
You get: a monthly PDF with next steps
Step one is free. I'll audit your current setup and send the summary within 48 hours — no obligation.

What Clients Say
Trusted by brands around the world to deliver results.
"I approached with a challenging project that couldn't be done with MailChimp alone, and I wasn't sure if it could be done. I was very impressed when Shakil was able to make the project work using a very innovative flowchart that captured people based on the day they signed up to deliver a specific result. I was very impressed. "
Dave C
Fiverr's Client
""Shakil rebuilt our reporting from the ground up and found the pattern we'd been missing — our local stories consistently outperform national coverage on clicks. That single insight changed how we structure every send. The monthly reports he delivers are clearer than anything our previous agency produced.""
Alec
Newsletter Editor, US Regional News Publication
"Working with Sahmed was very pleasant. The communication was very good, and he understood my concerns. He is very professional and works quite quickly and thoroughly. I could contact him anytime, and he was patient with me. He completed the job to my great satisfaction."
Güngör Coskun
Entrepreneur, guengoer-coskun
"Shakil is a lifesaver. I hired a Mailchimp expert who messed up the whole thing, but then, when I reached out to Shakil and explained the situation, he sorted out the whole issue in 5 hours. He basically recreated the whole campaign and finished it within 5 hours. He is truly an amazing guy. Thank you, Shakil."

What stood out most was his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure everything was just right. Communication was seamless throughout the process, and Shakil made sure I was involved and comfortable at every stage. The final result exceeded my expectations and truly reflected the care and expertise he brings to his craft."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about my services and process.
Usually one of four causes: an unauthenticated sending domain (missing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC), a list with high inactivity, sending volume that spikes unnaturally, or poor engagement signals. An audit identifies which applies to you.
Klaviyo is generally stronger for Shopify and WooCommerce stores that need deep purchase-behaviour automation. Mailchimp is more cost-effective for content newsletters, B2B, and service businesses. I work in both and will recommend based on your setup, not my preference.
Audits start at $299. Ongoing retainers start at $350/month. Full platform builds are quoted per project after a discovery call.
Typically 4 to 12 weeks. Sender reputation rebuilds gradually through consistent, well-targeted sending — anyone promising a fix in days is not being straight with you.
Yes. I work with clients across the US, UK, EU, and Middle East, and schedule calls in your local time.
Yes. I regularly audit and take over accounts built by previous agencies or freelancers.

Shakil fixed our deliverability in less than a week. Our open rates went from 12% to 38% — we had no idea the issue was our sending domain.
