Audience-First Email Marketing
At Brafton, all email marketing is targeted email marketing. That’s because we work as an
extension of your marketing team to understand your target audiences, and further refine
them into specific reader and buyer personas.
We structure email marketing campaigns around what we know about your target
audiences, and what actions we want them to take. Information such as CRM data,
website interactions, prior campaign activity, recent purchases, location data and
customer feedback helps us determine what content to send to which contacts, when to
send it and how to measure success.
Our end-to-end email marketing capabilities look something like this:
target audiences.
Create website content that will
help you build out your email lists.
Optimize your opt-in forms.
Segment your audiences and email addresses.
Devise a campaign.
Craft compelling email copy.

The result: More sales-qualified leads in less time.
Email Best Practices
With Brafton, the focus of your email marketing campaign is aimed at your target audience. Our email solutions offer your audience the information they truly want, exactly when they need it. This customer-first mindset is behind every piece of copy we create for your business, and drives our content creation and marketing automation processes.
Building Email Lists
Before you can deliver personalized email content, you need to capture user emails. And there’s no better way to build new leads than with data-driven content marketing.
That’s why our strategists and consultants work directly with our creative teams to create content for your website that will help you convert visitors into subscribers:
- Blog posts.
- Conversion landing page copy.
- Gated assets such as eBooks, white papers, case studies and infographics.
- Calls-to-action such as opt-in forms.
- UX audits and site design.
- More.
Email List Segmentation
Email list segmentation is the beating heart of targeted email marketing. Our strategists leverage leading email marketing software such as Pardot, Marketo, Hubspot, Mailchimp, Sendinblue and more to create precisely segmented email lists. We can also help manage your email database to maximize email deliverability and minimize bounce rates.
Lists can be segmented based on factors such as:
- Job title.
- Demographics.
- Location.
- Interests.
- New subscribers.
- Prior email campaign engagements.
- Website activity.
- Download history.
- Purchase history.
- Event and/or webinar attendance.
- Membership status.
- Card abandonment.
- Type of email account (e.g., business vs. personal).
- Business type.
- Birthday (if you want to add a personal touch).
- Income.
- Much, much more.
Some of these factors will matter more to some brands than others, depending on their industry, customer base and other variables. The key to successful targeted email marketing is to thoughtfully segment lists, and decide which of those lists to include in which campaigns — or alternatively, how you’ll build campaigns out for specific lists.
Succeed, and you’ll see greater open rates, higher click-through rates, more conversions and fewer opt-out emails.

Drip Campaigns
Drip campaigns take targeted email marketing to a new level. Pre-written emails are scheduled for delivery to specific recipient lists. The response to those emails – opened, opened and scrolled through, clicked, didn’t open, responded, downloaded the asset being promoted in the email, etc. – determine what email is sent next.
Think of email drip campaigns as an episodic, organized and automated form of targeted lead nurturing in which there is a well-defined end goal. That goal is usually to guide the lead on a path to eventually scheduling a demo with your business. To help you reach this finish line, Brafton email marketing strategists work with our agency writers, designers and consultants to:
- Create the email content and format it in a template.
- Map out the drip campaign based on the triggers.
- Determine which actions the user should take in each email.
