Email Campaign Case Study
Part of the Digital Marketing Roadmap
In short
Email still drives sales for many brands, and few freshers can show they've built a real sequence. A clear email case study instantly sets you apart.
Document an email sequence or campaign you designed — the strategy, the copy, and (if available) open/click performance — directly building on Phase 7's automation and copywriting work.
Think of it like this
Wedding invitations and RSVPs
For a family wedding, you send cards, then a reminder call, then a final 'see you tomorrow' message. You track who confirmed after each step. That's an email sequence with open and reply tracking. Your case study shows each message, why it was sent, and who responded.
Watch it happen

The big ideas
What you need to know
Show the sequence map
A simple diagram of emails, timing and triggers shows you think in journeys.
Copy samples
Include subject lines and one or two full emails so they see your writing.
Metrics that matter
Click rate and conversions matter more than open rate, which privacy features can inflate.
One test
Show a subject line or CTA test and what you learnt from it.

Save yourself the pain
Common mistakes
Oops
Reporting only open rates as proof of success.
Do this instead
Lead with clicks and conversions. Open rates can be inflated by mail privacy features.
Oops
Building a sequence that sells in every email.
Do this instead
Give value first. Selling every time trains people to ignore or unsubscribe.
