Email should be your highest-margin channel. Most brands are leaving 40-60% of it on the table.

Email is underperforming your other channels

Most brands generate 15-20% of revenue from email. A well-run programme delivers 35-45%. That gap - between what you're making and what you should be making - is the exact problem we fix.

You're running campaigns, not a system

One-off sends and basic welcome flows don't build compounding revenue. You need a lifecycle system - welcome, post-purchase, abandon, win-back - each sending the right message at the right time.

Your copy doesn't sound like your brand

Template-heavy emails train your list to ignore you. When every send looks generic, open rates fall, unsubscribes rise, and revenue per email declines month over month.

Want to know what's missing from your email programme?

We'll audit it for free - no call required, delivered in 48 hours.

Here's exactly how we fix it - every lifecycle flow, built from scratch for your brand.

No templates. No copy-paste sequences.

Before Sawa, email was 14% of our revenue. They rebuilt our welcome series, post-purchase flow, and win-back from scratch - in three weeks. Six months later email is 38% of revenue and growing.

14% → 38% email revenue share

Sarah K.

Founder, 8-figure fashion brand

The copy alone was worth it. Every other agency we tried sent emails that didn't sound like us. Sawa's writers got our voice immediately - and our open rates went from 18% to 34% in the first 60 days.

18% → 34% open rate in 60 days

Marcus T.

CMO, DTC wellness brand, $22M ARR

Their abandoned cart sequence generates $40K a month consistently. We had a three-email sequence before. They rebuilt it with personalisation logic based on what was in the cart. The difference was immediate.

Priya M.

Head of Growth, Beauty brand, $18M ARR

Everything email. One team.

Every service connects to the others. Infrastructure enables flows. Flows feed campaigns. Copy optimises both.
