“We send emails to millions of users each week; with over 150 newsletters across 20+ brands to account for, every minute matters to us. Creating email at scale can be difficult, and Litmus’ Visual Editor helps minimize the technical challenges and guesswork that come with coding,” said Jesse Blanner, Design Director, Meredith Digital of Meredith Corporation. “Visual Editor simplifies the process of adding content to our templates—without extensive coding experience—and allows us to focus more on collaboration and creating high-performing emails. It’s not only beneficial for production, creativity, and efficiency, but it provides an opportunity to enhance our entire marketing mix and strategy.”

“It takes 53 percent of brands two weeks or longer to produce a single email because of complicated and lengthy collaboration and review processes,” said Erik Nierenberg, CEO of Litmus. “We realize it can be frustrating when not all marketing team members can interact directly and collaboratively within a martech platform. By eliminating roadblocks within the pre-send and post-send processes, Litmus empowers collaboration across an organization in one centralized place. These platform updates, including the new Visual Editor, make email creation easy for all— even marketers with no coding experience — helping them build better emails, faster and create meaningful one-to-one experiences with their subscribers and customers.”
