Generate more student engagement and course revenue via email
We help training providers increase course registrations by leveraging email marketing
Look to us as your email marketing partners - we know what you don’t know, we know how to work with training providers like you, and we can break through the roadblocks you’re facing.
Do you wish you could answer questions like:
"why are our open rates or revenue falling?"
"what are our engagement metrics for students vs non-students?"
"are we CASL/CAN-SPAM/GDPR compliant?"
"which emails are generating the most course purchases?"
But finding the time to understand it all is a luxury you don’t have?
For many training providers, email is the channel that’s working best, and improving opens and clicks is the best lever to generate more revenue.

Services
We run your email marketing flawlessly, proactively and calmly.
Free up your resources from running email marketing, to write, create, and ideate new marketing strategies for your courses, events, books and communities.
-
We’ll handle as much as you need to take email off your team’s hands, freeing up resources to write, create, and run new marketing.
That can mean we’re setting up new automations, features, and segments, all the way up to managing your email calendar.
-
We bring calm to email management by creating a consistent project management and reminder system email strategy, rather than reactively racing to sell each course.
You’ll have email content planned out weeks in advance, not rushed at the last minute.
-
Using behavioral triggers and segmentation, we’ll help you send more targeted emails to your audience:
Student upsell emails upon recent course completion
Course and webinar check-ins and reminders
New subscriber/student welcome series
Re-engagement series
Follow-ups based on website browsing activity
-
We integrate all of your marketing, ecommerce and student management tools with your email marketing to ensure that no subscriber is missed.
And by pulling useful data from these platforms like course completions, LTV, website visits, and webinar attendance, we can increase revenue by setting up targeted emails.
-
Open rates can fall by 5-20% if you’re not following best practices, like email authentication, domain reputation monitoring, and engagement-based list cleaning.
We’ll check for any spam issues, ensure you’re compliant with your countries’ spam legislation, and monitor deliverability to ensure your emails are always hitting the inbox.
-
Through a range of reporting methods, we can help you identify which emails are selling courses, and which aren’t.
From there, we optimize open, click and conversion rates by testing email content, features, and strategies.
-
Our clients have trusted us for years because we’re not a black box - we share knowledge freely.
We take the effort to train your team on best practices for email marketing, systems and procedures.

Outbound/cold email marketing
Email copywriting/content - we don’t offer it ourselves, but we’re happy to find a contractor to help
Other marketing channels such as ads or social media - though we can connect those channels into email marketing to create a complete funnel / customer journey
-
We have a depth of experience with online course businesses, such as wellness educators and professional certification providers. But we’ve also worked with ecommerce, membership and professional services clients.
The clients that receive the greatest ROI from us:
Have at least 2,000 opt-in contacts
Revenue of $500k-$5mil+/year
Are looking for someone to take responsibility for ActiveCampaign management, who provides hands-on implementation of systems and campaigns
Have a system for writing email copy and have established their own voice but just need some help getting communications out
-
We believe AI is helpful for summarizing, editing and some data analysis.
But we also believe that email marketing is complex, with every client presenting a unique audience that deserves a personal touch.
That means we never use AI for any communication with you, or to choose the strategy and advice we provide.
And if we do use AI to help us with implementation or analysis, we always test and review thoroughly in case it makes a mistake.
About Jacob Monash
Hi, I’m Jacob,
I'm a science PhD graduate turned email marketer - bringing a systems thinker perspective from academia to marketing operations.
Over time, I’ve built lasting relationships with businesses in the training space - and gotten a knack for the kind of educational, trust-building emails and workflows that work best for them.
Based in Vancouver, Canada, I’ve worked with clients across North America and the UK, across a variety of email platforms.
When I began my search for an ActiveCampaign consultant, I was not only looking for expertise but someone I could trust, and after sifting through several AI generated biographies, I came across Jacob Monash.

Working with Jacob has been phenomenal. He did an audit of our systems, walked me through his findings, and gave fantastic suggestions for steps forward. Once we approved next steps, those fixes and improvements were implemented quickly and accompanied by an explanation and guidance, so I could learn along the way.

Do you feel like you offer such a variety of training that it’s hard to pull the web into a clear email strategy?
You're not selling keyrings - you need to build trust over time. That's why traditional email tactics aren't the simple answer that email platforms and AI will have you believe
AI was telling me “you need to get more clicks”, but how? We’re not selling keyrings, we’re getting people to trust us - Abby
