Email marketing

Segmented, personalized email programs with rigorous QA, deliverability testing and continuous testing of subject lines and cadence, as run for Visa and Gatorade.

My mantra: test, learn, react.

What I do

  • Build and keep strong client relationships, making sure every monthly and new campaign meets the client’s needs and goals
  • Use customer analytics and work with online merchandisers to create segmented, targeted and personalized email, as I did for Visa and Gatorade
  • Manage the email deployment team across strategy, operations and development: QA, coding and configuration, creative optimization, targeting, cadence, data monitoring, scheduling, tracking, testing and deployment
  • Test rendering across email clients and providers (Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail and mobile) so every brand message arrives as designed

Email campaign rendered across desktop and mobile clients

  • Run spam and deliverability tests, analyze results and make recommendations based on opt-outs and bounces, and keep list hygiene in line with best practice
  • Build relationship email programs that nurture leads and outperform client benchmarks
  • Run campaigns in Mailchimp, which we used for all Visa and Gatorade campaigns
  • Manage subscriber lists, unsubscribes and bad addresses
  • Bring in creative and technical best practice, competitor trends and new technology

Email campaign performance report

  • Own marketing campaigns and triggered emails (merchandise and transactional) that drive demand and engagement
  • Work with merchandising and promotions teams on product selection and presentation
  • Analyze results to understand successes, failures and trends, and adjust course
  • Test contact mix and cadence across campaign and triggered streams, and keep testing subject lines, offers, templates and other elements
