Personalization and conversation
E-mail works when it’s relevant to the recipient. Relevancy requires personalization and to us is a combination of audience segmentation and amazing content that matches their needs and motivations. We’ll start by creating personas, representing the archetypes of individuals who attend your institution and through research understand their motivations and interests to create the most effective messaging and calls to action. Our design and writing teams are at the vanguard of email design and content, and understand that emails are not ads. They are a start of a conversation, and one that can help lead you to your goals.
