THE CHALLENGE:
Optimization of email strategy and structure
The Trailhead marketing team was beginning to see inconsistency and a lowered performance rate on their client emails. They recognized that their email templates needed more structure and could use an overall refresh to realign with current market best practices. Highlighting pain points like the need to reduce excess email copy and devise a method to standardize email content structure, the Trailhead team asked Theorem to help them create an optimized email strategy.
THE SOLUTION:
Digital strategy and custom template system
We performed a full-scale audit of the Trailhead marketing ecosystem and provided feedback that aligned with modern best practices. We also created a wireframe email template system for the standardization of content, design optimization, and accessibility implementation. Marketing emails no longer had to be created from scratch, and the team now had a library of fully optimized and easy-to-incorporate content elements they could leverage to make their campaigns more impactful.
