Elias Torres shares product work at Klaviyo, especially examples of using customer data and AI to help marketers take action.
The posts show Composer supporting natural-language analysis, Klaviyo connecting to Meta’s Muse for Small Business, and the team responding to customer feedback with a product fix.
Follow them for practical snapshots of how these tools are being built and used.
The posts connect product announcements to specific workflows and decisions.
Torres describes marketers querying data through Composer, Muse finding engagement opportunities and scheduling winback campaigns with user approval, and a customer-reported navigation problem being fixed quickly.
Together, these examples show Klaviyo’s product direction: putting customer data and AI into marketers’ existing workflows while keeping feedback and product reliability in view.

The same priorities recur: put the platform where marketers already work instead of adding another destination, make customer data answerable without a specialist, and close the loop from customer complaint to shipped fix quickly. Examples include Composer, which lets customers query Klaviyo's data warehouse in natural language; Customer Agent running in more than 100 languages; the Meta Muse for Small Business launch partnership; and a navigation bug fixed after a customer posted about it.
Put the platform where marketers already work, not behind another tab
Elias Torres argues that Klaviyo's intelligence should live inside the tools marketers already use rather than in one more place to open.
Read more
The reasoning is workflow friction: campaigns get run where the data and marketer already are. This is a distribution position, not just an integration announcement — the product's reach grows through other companies' surfaces.
When Meta asked Klaviyo to be a launch partner for Muse for Small Business, Elias Torres says the team moved fast to make it real.
Muse can connect to a business's Klaviyo account and act on the data: surface engagement opportunities, build winback campaigns for customers who have gone quiet, and schedule them from Muse.
The framing is "You approve, Muse executes," and they state the intent directly — "I want Klaviyo's intelligence to be wherever marketers already are, not one more tab they have to open."
The same post presents Shopify Markets localization — Customer Agent supporting more than 100 languages with automatic locale detection — as another way the product reaches customers inside systems they already use. The Muse post is a launch-partner announcement with no commercial terms; ask what Klaviyo pays or receives for the integration.
Make the data warehouse answerable in plain language
Elias Torres makes the case that marketers should be able to query customer data directly rather than wait on analysts or move it elsewhere.
Read more
In this telling, Klaviyo is a data warehouse customers can now interrogate with natural-language-to-SQL through Composer. The value is that the analysis a large marketing team wants — buying journeys, RFMs, personas, attribution — happens in the same system that runs the campaigns.
The first-month post lists what Composer now does and what Elias Torres personally ran through it: "I have been analyzing buying journeys, building RFMs, analyzing personas, multi-touch attribution, this thing is ridiculous."
It also describes Composer upgrades that support that work — MCP, scheduled chats, brand kits, skills, and audit plus autofix.
The payoff case is Dermalogica: they ask how a marketer personalizes for millions of customers' individual skin concerns and point to the company's use of Composer.
The Dermalogica post reports a stage demonstration with Frank Freeman, not a written customer case study.
The product team is still finishing Composer's harness for large enterprise marketing teams, making the enterprise-scale claim a direction of travel rather than a finished result.
The best feeling for a builder is customer feedback, then a fast fix
Elias Torres treats responsiveness to customer complaints as part of building, not an exception to it.
Read more
The priority is speed from report to shipped change, measured by whether the customer can see the result immediately.
A customer, Carmen Lee, posted on LinkedIn that a Klaviyo change had removed a useful navigation helper.
Elias Torres says a friend tagged them, the team reviewed it, and a fix shipped.
They closed with "Just hit reload Carmen.
Thank you!"
In the first-month post, they also credit hosting 2,000 customers and partners at K:BOS for feedback that it was "one of the best K:BOS yet" — because the team showed up ready to listen.
Shows what Elias Torres is currently responsible for and how they describe Klaviyo's product direction.

Start here for the widest view of recent work before reading the customer examples.
In a first-month product update, Elias Torres covers Composer, Customer Agent, and a new iOS app.
Klaviyo customers can now query the data warehouse using natural language to SQL through Composer, which has also gained upgrades including MCP, scheduled chats, brand kits, skills, and audit plus autofix.
Customer Agent is now global, supporting customers in more than 100 languages with automatic locale detection through Shopify Markets; voice handling a call with a customer's full history is described as coming soon.
The post also describes attending K:BOS on crutches after a torn ACL and hosting 2,000 customers and partners.
For brands planning a campaign
For a product leadership or advisory brief, this is the clearest recent inventory of the areas Elias Torres covers—analytics, agent tooling, localization, and mobile—and a useful starting point for interview questions about ownership, prioritization, and shipping cadence.
Shows how a large enterprise customer uses the product Elias Torres works on and what personalization at scale looks like in practice.

Elias Torres describes Dermalogica as having millions of customers worldwide and asks how a marketer can personalize for each customer's skin concerns and routines. The post shares what was shown on stage with Frank Freeman about Dermalogica's use of Composer, says the product team is finishing Composer's harness to let large enterprise marketing teams do things 'never dreamed of all in one place,' and points readers to how Dermalogica uses Klaviyo and Composer.
For brands planning a campaign
Shows a named enterprise customer and a concrete application area—personalized product recommendations—that a B2B SaaS company can probe for evidence of enterprise readiness and customer outcomes.
Shows how Klaviyo connects with other platforms and where Torres wants the product to fit into a marketer's work.

Elias Torres says Muse, a Meta product for small businesses, can connect to a Klaviyo account and act on the data: finding new engagement opportunities, building winback campaigns for quiet customers, and scheduling that activity from Muse.
The framing is 'You approve, Muse executes,' and they want Klaviyo's intelligence to be wherever marketers already are rather than another tab to open.
The post notes Klaviyo moved fast when Meta asked it to be a launch partner.
For brands planning a campaign
Useful for assessing partnership execution and how Elias Torres positions the product inside a broader AI agent ecosystem, with relevance to integrations and distribution.
A small example of how Elias Torres and the team respond when a product change breaks something for a customer, with a clear feedback-to-fix loop.

Elias Torres says the best feeling for a builder is hearing customer feedback and asking the customer to hit reload to get the fix.
The post describes Carmen Lee posting on LinkedIn that a change in Klaviyo lost a navigation helper, someone tagging Torres, the team reviewing it, and shipping a fix, ending with 'Just hit reload Carmen.
Thank you!'
For brands planning a campaign
A concrete public example of a fast feedback-to-fix loop. Ask about triage, communication, and how the team decides what to ship quickly.
Shipping AI marketing tools and explaining what changed
Elias Torres posts product updates from inside Klaviyo, naming what shipped and what customers can now do.
Read more
The most detailed example is a first-month update describing Klaviyo as a data warehouse customers can query in natural language through Composer, alongside upgrades listed as MCP, scheduled chats, brand kits, skills, and audit-and-autofix.
The same post covers Customer Agent going global in more than 100 languages with automatic locale detection through Shopify Markets, a coming voice capability, and a Composer iOS app.
A separate post shows Dermalogica personalizing product recommendations for millions of customers with Composer, in a stage demo with Frank Freeman.
Product-update posts name the feature, the customer problem and sometimes a customer example; the Dermalogica post describes a stage demo rather than a written case study.
The first-month post mixes shipped capabilities with items described as coming soon or on the roadmap.
For brands planning a campaign
Useful for a brief assessing how Elias Torres turns AI platform capabilities—natural-language querying, agents, localization—into plain-language customer outcomes. Ask which items are shipped and which are announced; the first-month post does not clearly distinguish them.
Tying product work to customer feedback and fast fixes
One post describes a customer complaint on LinkedIn about a navigation helper removed in a Klaviyo change.
Read more
Elias Torres credits Carmen Lee with posting it, says a friend tagged them, and says the team reviewed it and shipped a fix, closing with “Just hit reload Carmen.” The first-month post makes a related point: feedback that K:BOS was one of the best yet came after the team showed customers what they had been building and listened to their response.
Describes a build–read feedback–ship fix loop in one public exchange and uses customer-conference feedback as a progress signal.
For brands planning a campaign
For a product leadership or advisory assessment, this is a specific, source-linked example of public responsiveness—not a general claim about caring about customers. Treat it as one exchange, not documentation of a full support process.
Embedding the platform in partners and other tools
A post about Meta’s Muse for Small Business says Klaviyo moved fast when Meta asked it to be a launch partner.
Read more
It describes Muse connecting to a business’s Klaviyo account to act on its data: finding engagement opportunities, building winback campaigns for quiet customers, and scheduling them from Muse while the user approves.
Elias Torres states the intent directly: “I want Klaviyo’s intelligence to be wherever marketers already are, not one more tab they have to open.”
Market-level localization through Shopify Markets, described in the first-month post, is a second distribution example.
Launch-partner announcements center on one integration sequence (approve in Muse, Muse executes) and platform-level localization for markets.
The posts describe partnerships and integrations but disclose no commercial terms, so they do not establish payment or exclusivity.
For brands planning a campaign
Relevant when a brief involves embedded or ecosystem distribution rather than a standalone product. The Muse post is the clearest evidence that Elias Torres works on integrations marketers already use—a different story from building a destination product.
Elias Torres says they work at Klaviyo, and all four posts are Klaviyo product and customer updates written from inside that role.

The posts also describe Klaviyo's launch partnership with Meta's Muse for Small Business and showcase Dermalogica, a Klaviyo customer, as an example of the platform in use. Ask whether any separate sponsorship, affiliate, or investment relationship exists.

The posts cover Klaviyo product launches (Composer, Customer Agent, a Composer iOS app) using “we” and “our team,” and describe presenting customer work on stage.
Elias Torres writes that Meta asked whether Klaviyo could be a launch partner for Muse for Small Business, and that Muse can now connect to a business's Klaviyo account and act on its data.

This is a Klaviyo-Meta partnership, not a personal sponsorship or endorsement.
Elias Torres cites Dermalogica as a company with millions of customers worldwide and describes presenting Dermalogica's use of Composer on stage with Frank Freeman.

Dermalogica is presented as a Klaviyo customer, not a sponsor or client of Elias Torres.
Start with the Klaviyo product posts to see how Elias Torres explains AI marketing software: Composer queries customer data in natural language; Customer Agent expands to more than 100 languages; and the Meta Muse for Small Business partnership lets Muse connect to a Klaviyo account and act on its data.

A short post about restoring a navigation helper after a customer complaint offers a clear example of the build, feedback, and fast-fix loop. For adjacent reading, Ed Hallen covers Klaviyo's company-building and entrepreneurship, Zak Cassady-Dorion covers agency and DTC ecommerce tactics around Klaviyo events, and Alejandra Salomon covers retention strategy and why email or SMS cannot fix a weak customer experience.
Both write from inside Klaviyo about building and explaining the company and its products.
Read more
Hallen's posts about the Mighty Middle of startups and the Klaviyo omnichannel announcement use LinkedIn as Elias Torres does: to explain the strategy behind the business and why it matters.
Hallen's posts cover entrepreneurship strategy and a broad Klaviyo product announcement.
Elias Torres's focus is closer to hands-on product updates and customer examples, including Composer, Customer Agent, and the Meta Muse partnership.
Hallen's material also dates back to 2024 and 2025.
Cassady-Dorion covers the same Klaviyo and DTC ecommerce world, including events, agency partnerships, podcasts, and practical BFCM planning.

Both use LinkedIn to turn ecosystem activity into advice for ecommerce teams.
Cassady-Dorion writes from an agency, operator, and podcast-host perspective, sharing recaps and promoting panels. Elias Torres writes from the product-builder side, covering AI marketing features and customer issues.
Salomon teaches retention and email or SMS strategy in the DTC and Klaviyo ecosystem.
Read more
Like Elias Torres's post about customer feedback, Salomon's posts draw on specific customer-experience failures rather than generic best practices.
Salomon focuses on retention strategy and the limits of email and SMS, rather than building or launching marketing software. The posts teach through opinion, not product updates or platform partnership news.
For a B2B SaaS product leadership or advisory campaign, audience signals support a distribution check, not a precise audience match.
Read more
Elias Torres’s posts read as product and customer announcements for people following Klaviyo, marketing software, ecommerce operations, and AI tools: Composer updates, a Dermalogica customer story, Meta’s Muse for Small Business integration, and a customer-reported navigation fix.
They suggest appeal to marketers and operators who track AI-powered marketing platforms.
The posts don’t identify followers by job function, seniority, industry, geography, or company size, so they don’t establish that the audience includes product leaders or AI decision-makers.
Treat the LinkedIn following as reach into marketing-technology and ecommerce interest, not as a verified product-leadership audience.
Ask for LinkedIn analytics or an audience survey covering follower job function, seniority, industry, and geography, plus recent post results for product-leadership or AI-platform topics.
If those aren’t available, ask for a short call to test whether they can reach the buyer’s intended roles.
Elias Torres's four posts cover product and customer updates from their work on Klaviyo: Composer, Customer Agent, the Muse for Small Business integration, and a Dermalogica customer story.
Read more
They don't describe a rate card, media kit, sponsored-post format, or inquiry route for brands, or say whether Elias accepts sponsorships. Buyers should ask whether Elias accepts sponsorships and request details on rates, formats, and how to inquire.
Qualified fit based on these posts, provided the engagement is framed around Elias Torres's work at Klaviyo and cleared with the employer.

Brief
A marketing-technology or ecommerce software vendor wants a practitioner voice for a customer-facing session or expert advisory engagement: someone who can talk to marketers and ecommerce operators about shipping AI features and what they change for customers.
Reasons
These posts sit directly in the subject area of a campaign about Klaviyo product capabilities. The four posts cover natural-language querying of a data warehouse through Composer, Customer Agent going global in more than 100 languages with automatic locale detection through Shopify Markets, a launch partnership with Meta's Muse for Small Business, and a Dermalogica personalization example shown on stage with Frank Freeman.
Elias Torres explains features through outcomes rather than feature names. The Muse post states the intent plainly — intelligence wherever marketers already are, not one more tab to open — and describes the workflow as approve-and-execute. That's the register a marketer audience needs from a product session.
There's a concrete process story to use as a teaching example: a change removed a navigation helper, a customer posted about it, the team reviewed it, and a fix shipped, closing with 'Just hit reload.' It shows how product decisions and customer feedback meet, a more useful lesson for an audience than a claim about caring about customers.
The Dermalogica example gives a named enterprise customer and a specific application area: personalized product recommendations at scale. A vendor buying this engagement gets a ready-made proof point rather than a generic AI narrative.
Conditions
Confirm which capabilities have shipped and which are still announced. The first-month post mixes delivered features with items described as coming soon, including voice handling a call and a coming roadmap. Session copy should not present roadmap items as available.
Clear the appearance with Klaviyo and confirm there is no conflict with the employer's own marketing. Every post mentioned here is a Klaviyo announcement, positioning this as an employee practitioner's perspective, not neutral commentary.
Don't buy on audience match alone. The account has 37,986 LinkedIn followers, but no job function, seniority, industry, geography, or per-post engagement data was available. Treat this as interest-level reach into marketing-technology and ecommerce topics, not a verified audience of product or AI decision-makers; ask for audience analytics before buying.
When to choose a specialist
Poor fit on the current evidence. Reconsider only if the seller can provide a bookable format, terms, and audience data.
Read more
Brief
A brand wants a paid sponsored placement — a sponsored post, branded content, or an influencer-style product promotion booked directly with Elias Torres, with a defined deliverable and reach into a stated buyer segment.
Reasons
Ask for a sponsorship format, rate card, media kit, and inquiry route; none is documented in the posts reviewed.
All four posts are employer product announcements for Klaviyo, so the account reads as a product leader's professional presence rather than a review or creator channel a brand can commission. A paid placement would also sit against Klaviyo's own commercial interest.
Paid reach cannot be judged from the available audience data: the only number is a follower count, with no job function, seniority, industry, geography, or engagement metrics. Ask for those analytics to assess whether a placement would reach the intended roles.
The posts reviewed offer no competitor evaluations or vendor-neutral buying advice. If the brief requires an impartial third-party reviewer, source that elsewhere.
What would change this assessment
Ask for a public partnership or media page, or a post describing a bookable format or inquiry route.
Ask for audience analytics covering follower job function, seniority, industry, and geography, plus per-post performance.
Confirm employer-approved terms for outside commercial work; without them, a paid placement carries a conflict with Elias Torres's role at Klaviyo.
A worked campaign example
Angle
Build the session as a shipped-and-fixed narrative rather than a trend talk: what shipped, what broke, and what the team changed. Offer the audience a look at the working process behind AI marketing features, from the person writing the product updates about them.
Brief
A marketing-technology vendor wants an expert session for ecommerce marketers on moving AI marketing from demo to shipped customer outcome. The fit is strongest with a concrete brief.
Deliverables
One 30-45 minute session with a prepared outline reviewed by Klaviyo before recording.
A short written summary distinguishing shipped from announced features, so the vendor's follow-up material does not overstate availability.
A follow-up conversation, if the vendor wants an advisory arrangement, to test prioritization and shipping cadence against the items in the first-month update.
How to judge whether it worked
The audience can name one specific feature and the customer problem it solves.
The shipped-versus-announced line was clear enough that the vendor did not have to correct its own follow-up copy.
Session outline
Open with the marketer’s problem: analyzing buying journeys, building RFMs, reading personas, and handling multi-touch attribution by hand. Then explain what changed when the Klaviyo data warehouse became queryable in plain language through Composer.
Show the feedback loop step by step: the change that removed the navigation helper, the customer’s public post, the tag and internal review, the fix, and the close, 'Just hit reload.' Ask what the team changed in how it ships, not just what it fixed.
Make distribution a decision. Use the Muse for Small Business partnership and Shopify Markets localization to argue that intelligence belongs where marketers already work. Name the tradeoff: working inside a partner’s surface means depending on that partner’s product decisions.
Close with an honest account of the product’s stage. Separate what customers can use today from what was announced as coming, then land on the Dermalogica personalization example shown with Frank Freeman.
Seed the audience Q&A with the roadmap question so it gets answered in the room, not left to post-event speculation.
Things to confirm before booking
Get Klaviyo’s approval for the appearance and for naming customers and partners.
Confirm which features may be discussed publicly and which remain announced-only.
Confirm whether the vendor wants a paid engagement or an unpaid practitioner session; ask for the commercial terms.
When the vendor wants a co-founder or platform-strategy voice, not a hands-on product-shipping account.
Read more
Ed Hallen's posts cover Klaviyo's omnichannel product direction (one campaign builder, channel affinity AI, multi-touch attribution) and an HBR article on the 'Mighty Middle' of startups and building Klaviyo without the traditional fundraising path. Hallen is a better choice if the audience is founders or product strategy leaders deciding how to consolidate tools and where to place bets, or if the session should connect AI marketing to company-building decisions rather than feature rollout.
Elias Torres's posts are strategic and directional, with no demonstrated feature-level fixes or customer-feedback examples. The vendor would need to source those concrete examples elsewhere, and the session would offer less marketer-facing product detail than the first-month update and Dermalogica example.
When the vendor wants an agency operator who can moderate a customer-facing panel and tie AI features to a specific DTC calendar moment.
Read more
Zak Cassady-Dorion's posts recap an agency partner award and a podcast season, and promote a free live BFCM panel with Klaviyo and PostPilot covering Composer for flow audits, deliverability, segment, ad audience, and direct mail. They are a better choice if the session needs a host or moderator, an agency perspective on what DTC teams actually execute, or a campaign-planning frame around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
You trade product-building depth for agency-side execution and event format.
The posts recap and promote events but don't show the same hands-on feature-shipping account or internal product team process.
The vendor gets a strong moderator and campaign tactician, but less of the 'how we shipped and fixed it' narrative a session about product shipping and fixes needs.
When the session or advisory is about retention strategy and the limits of email and SMS, and the vendor wants a practitioner to challenge how churn is attributed.
Read more
Alejandra Salomon's posts argue that retention is downstream of acquisition, product, and the full customer experience, and offer specific diagnostics: tag customers, show cohorts, and identify where behaviour breaks down before churn. They are a better choice if the audience is retention or lifecycle marketers and the goal is to reframe a churn problem rather than introduce AI product features.
You lose the AI-shipping and platform-building angle: the posts don't cover shipping AI features, product announcements, or platform roadmaps.
A vendor wanting a customer-facing session on moving AI marketing from demo to shipped outcome would need to pair this perspective with a product-side speaker.
On its own, this perspective answers why retention flows can't fix a bad experience, not how to move AI marketing from demo to shipped outcome.
