Proving the value of email with impressive year on year growth
Unity Media have been a long standing user of PureCampaign, Pure360’s email marketing platform for over 10 years.

About
Unity Media is a market-leading publisher of B2B content including journals, magazines, books, events, exhibitions and websites.
Their content is read by senior decision makers within thousands of brands and agencies.
Challenges
Sending weekly newsletters to keep readers informed with the latest news has always formed a core part of Unity Media’s business strategy.
The newsletters provides Unity Media’s clients with a direct route to engage their target market. To prove the value of their newsletter services, Unity Media needed to show clients detailed reports highlighting meaningful metrics. For example; open rate, click-through rate, click-to-open rate, bounce rate, and list growth rates.
Ten years ago, this was something Unity Media’s marketing team couldn’t do. A lack of technology left them unable to report on the metrics that mattered to clients. They were unable to prove the ROI of its campaigns. This made it difficult to keep clients happy.
