A winning subscription model isnβt built - itβs engineered
Successful subscription-based businesses have abandoned the βgrowth at all costsβ mindset and transitioned to a focus on LTV and net recurring revenue. This refocusing on quality over quantity in customer acquisition usually requires an overhaul to existing approaches and processes, and the companies that fail to adapt risk losing their competitive edge.
Is your business ready to make the move? Christa equips leaders with the fundamentals for customer-focused growth that grows acquisition, retention and expansion. Key to success is creating irresistible value that boosts lifetime value.

βIt was an absolute pleasure working with Christa. She came to Compass during hyper-growth; a time when marketing needs weren't well defined or understood. She stood out as a leader in her ability to consistently tackle challenges with analytical rigor and a collaboration-first mentality. I can't think of someone better to have in the trenches when you're solving for marketing at scale.β
