Grow Pillar · Email Marketing
Every other channel is rented. Your email list, you own.
I build the owned channel that keeps working when ad costs climb and reach drops: lifecycle drips that nurture leads without you touching them, broadcasts that land in the inbox instead of Promotions, and a list kept clean enough to actually deliver. Set up once, earning quietly in the background.
What goes into an email channel that delivers.
Not a Mailchimp template and a hope. Deliverability infrastructure, lifecycle automation, a broadcast system, list health, and reporting that shows revenue per send.
Deliverability setup
SPF, DKIM, DMARC, a warmed-up sending domain, and list hygiene. Skip this and your campaigns land in spam no matter how good the copy is.
Lifecycle automation
Welcome series, lead nurture, abandoned-cart, post-purchase, win-back. The drips that run on their own once they are built.
Broadcast system
Newsletters and one-off campaigns: templates, segmentation, send-time logic, and a calendar your team can run without me.
Segmentation and list health
Behaviour and lifecycle-stage segments, re-engagement flows, and regular pruning of dead contacts. A smaller engaged list beats a big dead one.
Copy and design
Plain-text and lightweight HTML that renders everywhere and reads like a person wrote it. No bloated image-only emails that trip spam filters.
Reporting that matters
Opens, clicks, replies, unsubscribes, and revenue per send, tracked monthly. A Friday WhatsApp summary, not a dashboard you never open.
How an email project actually runs.
Check the plumbing
Deliverability, domain reputation, list health, current flows. Most email problems are infrastructure, not copy.
Plan the lifecycle
Every stage a contact moves through, and the email that should fire at each one. Drips and broadcasts planned together.
Wire the flows
Sending domain set up, automations built, templates designed, segments defined, tested against real contacts before launch.
Ship and improve
Live sends, monitored deliverability, monthly review of what landed and what converted. The calendar sharpens each month.
One operator vs. email agency vs. DIY in your ESP.
| What matters | One operator (me) | Email agency | DIY in your ESP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deliverability | Set up and monitored properly | Often assumed, not checked | Usually skipped entirely |
| Drip and broadcast | Both, built as one system | Whichever the package covers | Whatever you find time for |
| Copy | Written to read like a person | Templated house style | Founder, squeezed between other work |
| List health | Pruned and re-engaged on a schedule | Rarely, a bigger list looks better | Never, until deliverability drops |
| Integration with the rest | Runs with WhatsApp, CRM, content as one funnel | Email in isolation | Disconnected |
| Who you talk to | Me, start to finish | Account manager relay | Yourself |
Email working the long tail.
Three projects where email nurtured the contacts other channels could not reach: real-estate leads, B2B procurement, a media audience.
Three ways to bring me in.
Email audit + lifecycle map
~2 weeks
Deliverability and list health checked, current flows audited, and a full lifecycle map of every drip and broadcast your business should run. Yours to build or hand back to me.
Email setup sprint
4-6 weeks
Sending domain and deliverability set up, core lifecycle automations built, broadcast templates and segments ready, team trained to run the calendar. Fixed scope.
Retainer
ongoing
I run your email channel. Broadcasts written and scheduled, automations expanded, deliverability monitored, list pruned, monthly performance read. Friday WhatsApp report. Pause anytime.
