Frequently asked questions
Common questions before you hire.
Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.
Still deciding what you need?
Start with the outcome and the context you already have. A polished specification is not required.
What should I include in an email automation brief?
Share the platform you use, the customer moments you want to improve and any existing emails or data you want to work from.
Can a freelancer use our current email platform?
Often, yes. Include the platform and any connected systems so they can explain what is practical.
Do we need all the email copy before starting?
No. Explain the customer journey and available material. The scope can include writing or improving the messages if needed.
How long does email automation take?
A focused sequence may take a few weeks. A broader set of journeys and integrations can take longer.
How do I choose the right specialist?
Compare relevant platform experience, the proposed approach, communication, timing and pricing before requesting an introduction.
