The Challenge

Email ROI for Berkeley's industries — without a dedicated marketing team

A globally influential university city. UC Berkeley generates $3.8B in annual economic activity. Strong in biotech and life sciences (UC research spinoffs), food innovation (Alice Waters, the Cheeseboard), technology, and professional services. One o Email is the channel that makes this economy run at the business level.

Most Berkeley businesses in Biotechnology & Research and Food Innovation & Dining don't have dedicated marketing staff. Leads go cold because there's no follow-up system. Customers drift because there's no retention program. Revenue is left on the table every month.

We build email automation that works without you lifting a finger. Lead nurturing sequences that close deals while you're running your business. Customer retention campaigns that reduce churn before it happens. All measured against real revenue, not vanity metrics.
