Case Study: Implementing Scalable Email Funnel Campaigns at Government Brands

Background

Government Brands, a startup offering digital tools for government organizations, acquired GovOffice, my employer, and had plans to acquire 25 other businesses. As the Salesforce and Pardot Administrator at Government Brands, I was tasked with ensuring that each acquired brand launched with a strong email funnel campaign while maintaining their unique branding and fresh, brand-appropriate content.

Challenge

Government Brands needed to:

  • Ensure each acquired brand started with a strong email funnel campaign.

  • Maintain the unique branding of each business.

  • Keep email content fresh and appropriate for each brand’s identity.

Solution

To address these challenges, I implemented the following strategies:

  1. Evergreen Email Series: I collaborated with the marketers for each brand to develop an evergreen email series that could sustain long-term engagement. This series included a variety of content to keep it dynamic and engaging.

  2. Content Development: I created white papers and videos to include in the email series, ensuring that the content was diverse and maintained the audience’s interest.

  3. System Development: I developed systems with consistent naming conventions that could be quickly rebuilt with new content as new brands came through onboarding. This approach ensured the correct content was used at the right time and facilitated easy updates.

  4. Scalable Framework: I created a scalable framework for lead generation campaigns, allowing for easy replication across multiple brands. This framework provided a structured environment for A/B testing and continuous improvement.

Result

The initiatives led to significant improvements:

  • Improved Lead Generation: Creating numerous lead generation campaigns using the same foundational framework allowed for consistent and effective customer communication.

  • Enhanced A/B Testing: The structured environment across multiple brands provided a robust sandbox for A/B testing, enabling us to identify and implement successful strategies across all brands.

  • Efficient Content Management: The use of naming conventions and a scalable framework ensured efficient content management and quick adaptation to new campaigns.

Analysis

Key insights and lessons from this experience include:

  1. Scalability and Consistency: Developing a scalable framework with consistent naming conventions enabled efficient management and adaptation of campaigns across multiple brands.

  2. Content Variety: Including diverse content such as white papers and videos kept the email series engaging and prevented monotony.

  3. Effective Testing: The structured environment facilitated effective A/B testing, allowing for continuous improvement and optimization of email campaigns.

Conclusion

This case highlights the importance of developing scalable and adaptable systems for email marketing campaigns, especially in a multi-brand environment. By implementing a consistent and efficient framework, Government Brands was able to maintain unique branding for each acquired business while ensuring fresh and engaging content. This approach not only improved lead generation and customer communication but also provided valuable insights through structured A/B testing, serving as a model for managing complex marketing operations in a multi-brand organization.
