Service

The channel you own, treated like it matters.

Lifecycle programmes and marketing automation built to stay useful long after the first purchase — and to stay out of the spam folder.

Email Marketing

Email is a content problem before it is a technical one.

Deliverability advice usually starts with authentication records. It should start with whether anyone wanted the email. Engagement is now the strongest signal mailbox providers use, and no amount of DKIM will rescue a list that stopped opening two years ago.

We build lifecycle programmes that earn the open: a welcome sequence that sets an honest expectation, content that reflects what the subscriber actually did, and a sunset policy that removes people who have gone quiet rather than mailing them forever.

What is included

Inside a email marketing engagement

Lifecycle mapping

Welcome, onboarding, activation, retention and win-back, mapped to real customer behaviour.

Marketing automation

Flows built in your platform, documented so your team can edit them without breaking anything.

Campaign copy and design

Templates that render correctly in the clients your list actually uses, including Outlook.

Deliverability review

Authentication, list hygiene, engagement segmentation and a sunset policy.

Segmentation strategy

Fewer, more meaningful segments, based on behaviour rather than guesswork.

Testing programme

Subject lines, send timing and content structure, tested with enough volume to mean something.

Reporting

You will always know what changed, and why.

Every engagement includes a reporting view built on definitions we agree before the work starts. We review it with you monthly and we explain the parts that are modelled or uncertain rather than glossing over them.

  • Definitions agreed and documented up front
  • Monthly review with a named consultant
  • Dashboard stays in your account when the engagement ends

Questions

Straight answers about email marketing.

If your question is not covered, ask it. We would rather have an honest conversation than win a badly matched project.

Ask us directly

Most commonly HubSpot, Klaviyo, Mailchimp and Customer.io, and we have worked in Salesforce Marketing Cloud. If your platform is unusual, we will tell you honestly how long our ramp-up will take.

Not necessarily — privacy features have made open rates unreliable since 2021. We look at clicks, replies, conversions and list churn instead, and we will explain what your reports are really telling you.

Yes, through offers worth subscribing to and honest signup copy. We will not buy or scrape lists, which damages deliverability and, in most of Europe, is unlawful.
