Messaging matters

ABG built strong relationships with its audiences over the years, consistently pushing out promo-driven emails to keep the business moving and the brand top-of-mind. But Rhythm took a more strategic approach with its email marketing to drive meaningful engagement.

Turning the key

Rhythm stepped in and segmented its audiences based on data and behavior patterns to create a more intentional and targeted email strategy. We also pivoted the brand’s messaging, turning promo-ridden updates into meaningful, travel-focused content that informed, entertained, and inspired. Aside from reworking its messaging, we also injected vitality into its visual design to appeal to ABG’s business and consumer audiences.
