Illustrative journey and email design — not client work.
The journey matters as much as the email.
We plan when each email sends, what it does and when it stops. Then we write and design it.

What your project can include
The usual shape of the work. We agree the details with you.
1The moment you’re designing for
2A journey map: when each email sends and stops
3Subject lines and final copy
4Desktop and mobile email designs
5Build notes for whoever sets it up
6A simple way to measure it
Design and production are separate jobs.
We plan, write and design the emails. The designs are prototypes, not production email templates. Platform configuration, coding and sending are outside this design scope.
Questions
Questions about lifecycle work
Can we start with one journey?
Yes. One journey is a good place to start.
Do we need to buy page work as well?
No. Email work stands on its own.
What do you need from us?
Product and brand details, your current emails if you have them, one person for feedback, and whoever will set them up.
Can you work with our existing email platform?
We check your platform when we scope the work. Setup and sending stay with your team.
