Our take
Creating high-performance marketing emails can be time consuming for internal teams, who often have to rely on engineering and product teams for support. The founders of Stensul noted the number of tools available to businesses to support email delivery, but saw this gap for helping with creation.
Considering the importance of email in the world of marketing, every company in the world is a potential client for Stensul, and it has already worked with enterprise brands including YouTube, Samsung, Verizon Media, BMW, and Capital One. Despite competition from larger email marketing services such as MailChimp and Moosend, the company has secured substantial backing which enabled it to expand operations throughout the last few years.
Most lately, Stensul has focussed on improving its functionality, with the largest change being the addition of a landing page builder to its platform. This capability is now treated as a core part of the company's offering, and should help it expand its roster of clientele. In addition, it has added generative AI features with the aim to "improve creation efficiency" for its users, another step to ensure it stays at the front of the market.
