Accelerating and standarizing development at an email marketing company

Responsibilities

Product strategy, Visual Design, Front-End Development

Timeline

12 weeks with a remote team based in Los Angeles and Buenos Aires while I was in Mexico City

Results

Reduced email development time from two days to one hour. Increased CTR by 20%.

Templates

Email Components are interchangeable and allow us to create different layouts

Dividing the templates into reusable components allowed us to standardize and accelerate email development

Templates

ISP and device compatibility were paramount

Using MJML instead of tables to create the email templates, we reduced the development time from two days to one hour. This improvement allowed ProGroup X to respond more quickly to market demands and client needs. We were also able to debug email templates when checking for ISP and device compatibility.
