Why Email Matters for Creative Brands

• Email is personal and permission-based: Your subscribers asked to hear from you. This means better engagement, more trust, and fewer distractions.
  
  

• You own your list: Unlike social media, you’re not subject to algorithm changes, shadow bans, or platform outages.
  
  

• Email drives revenue: According to Campaign Monitor, email generates $42 for every $1 spent making it one of the highest ROI channels available.
  
  

• Email nurtures community: It's the perfect medium for telling your story, showing behind-the-scenes work, launching exclusive offers, and involving your audience in your creative process.
  
  

• Email is scalable: With the right automations in place, you can sell and nurture your audience 24/7 even while you're creating.
