Overview
This showcase highlights how a digital marketing agency partnered with TouchBasePro to strengthen their email marketing offering, improve client outcomes, and position themselves as trusted email marketing advisors.
Over a 12 month period, the agency used TouchBasePro to scale email marketing across multiple clients, win new email only business, and deepen their strategic capability, not just their execution speed.
The Agency challenge
Like many agencies, this team faced a familiar set of challenges.
They managed clients across different platforms, with email marketing often underperforming due to inconsistent strategy, limited insight into metrics, and a focus on sending rather than outcomes.
Email marketing was viewed as a supporting channel, not a core growth lever. At the same time, new prospects were increasingly asking for more advanced, accountable email marketing support.
The agency needed.
- A platform designed to support multiple client accounts
- The ability to confidently sell email marketing as a standalone service
- Strategic backing to improve results, not just software access
- Deeper understanding of email metrics, KPIs, and best practice
Why TouchBasePro for Agencies
TouchBasePro stood out because it was designed with agencies in mind.
Rather than positioning itself as just another sending tool, TouchBasePro focuses on enablement, learning, and long term performance. The objective is to help agencies deliver better outcomes for their clients, regardless of platform complexity or client maturity.
Key reasons agencies choose TouchBasePro.
- Agency friendly account structures and permissions
- Hands on onboarding and migration support
- Strategic consulting aligned to real client use cases
- Ongoing learning rather than once off training
- A strong focus on deliverability, reporting, and sustainable performance
Implementation in practice
Over the course of a year, the agency.
- Migrated existing client accounts toTouchBaseProwhere it made sense
- Onboarded new clients specifically for email marketing services
- Standardised email marketing processes across clients
- Improved campaign structure, segmentation, and automation
Crucially, TouchBasePro did not take a one size fits all approach.
Where clients were already using platforms such as HubSpot, the recommendation was not to migrate unnecessarily. Instead, TouchBasePro supported the agency with consulting and strategic guidance to help them better manage, optimise, and report on those accounts within the existing platform.
This platform agnostic approach ensured that client outcomes always came first.
Data-led decision-making
A major shift for the agency came from a deeper understanding of email metrics and KPIs.
With TouchBasePro’s consulting support, the agency was able to.
- Set clearer and more realistic client expectations
- Use data to explain performance and guide decisions
- Move conversations away from opinions and toward evidence. This led to practical, tangible improvements, such as.
- Adjusting campaign layout based on device and email client usage
- Reducing image heavy designs where data showed a high proportion of recipients using Outlook
- Prioritising clarity, hierarchy, and deliverability over visual complexity
These small but intentional changes delivered more consistent engagement and made performance improvements easier to explain and defend.

- Think more strategically about email marketing
- Identifyopportunities for automation, retention, and lifecycle messaging
