Email Marketing, Automation & Deliverability Expert. Mailchimp Pro Partner.

Most businesses don't struggle because they lack customers. They struggle because the conversation stops after the first interaction.

A visitor fills out a form. A prospect requests a quote. A customer makes a purchase. Then nothing happens. Weeks go by. Interest fades. Opportunities disappear.

That's where email marketing earns its place. I'm Syed Raiyan — Email Marketing Consultant, Automation Specialist, and Deliverability Expert. I help businesses build email systems that keep conversations moving long after the first visit.

How I got here.

My background combines marketing, technology, and systems thinking. Over the years I've worked with startups, agencies, ecommerce brands, service-based businesses, and growing companies that needed a more reliable way to communicate with customers.

The work has covered audience migration, email automation architecture, deliverability troubleshooting, campaign optimisation, responsive HTML email development, and large-scale subscriber management.

One of the more technically demanding projects involved generating unique barcode assets for over one million recipients via Mailchimp — while maintaining compatibility across major email clients.

Projects like that reinforced something consistent across every engagement: successful email marketing isn't about flashy software. It's about building reliable systems that work consistently.

My approach.

I don't start with templates. I start with questions. Most email marketing problems are not email problems — they're customer journey problems. Understanding how leads become customers, and how customers become repeat customers, comes first. The campaigns, automations, and workflows follow from that.

The questions that drive every engagement:

Every recommendation has a reason behind it. Every automation serves a purpose. Every email should move the relationship forward.

What I help businesses solve.

Businesses usually contact me when they face one or more of these problems. They're common. Ignoring them tends to become expensive.

Services I provide.

All engagements start with a diagnostic. Scope and pricing follow from what's actually broken — not from a fixed menu.

The tools change. The fundamentals don't. Technology should simplify communication, not complicate it.

Outside of consulting.

I'm the founder of Amader Electronics, a community-driven initiative focused on DIY electronics education and hands-on learning.

Understanding how systems work — whether it's a network, an electronic circuit, a marketing funnel, or an email automation workflow — runs through all of it. That curiosity influences how I approach client problems. I like finding the missing piece.

Common questions.

An email marketing consultant helps businesses improve customer communication through campaigns, automation, segmentation, deliverability improvements, and email growth strategies.
Yes. I help identify deliverability issues, configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, resolve reputation penalties, and increase inbox placement rates. Start with a comprehensive email deliverability audit.
I use an evidence-first approach starting with raw SMTP header analysis, DNS lookup limit audits (SPF 10-lookup rule), DKIM selector alignment, and real-time Google Postmaster & Microsoft SNDS telemetry. Rather than making random copy adjustments, we isolate the exact layer causing spam filtering—authentication, infrastructure, or list decay. Learn more in my 24-hour diagnostic framework.
I regularly work with Mailchimp, Brevo, SendGrid, GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, Klaviyo, and other major email marketing platforms.
Yes. I develop responsive email templates that work across major email clients and devices, including Outlook. Templates are hand-coded and tested with Litmus across 90+ email clients.
Yes. This includes welcome series, onboarding sequences, lead nurturing campaigns, abandoned cart recovery, and customer retention automations. Review my Mailchimp automation case study for an in-depth breakdown.

Something isn't working. Let's find out why.

If your campaigns are landing in spam, your bounce rate is climbing, or you're setting up a new sending infrastructure — that's where I start. Not with templates. With diagnosis.
