The Email Marketing Specialist will develop and optimize email campaigns, perform A/B testing, collaborate with the creative team, and report on marketing metrics.
The Role
We'd like you to conduct an experiment. Log on Twitter. Search "dbrand marketing". Open a new tab. Search "[your company's name] marketing". Compare and contrast the results.
With that out of the way, here's the million-dollar question: are you going to spend the rest of your career slapping together promotional offers for an unscrubbed email list that tops out at a 5% open rate, or are you ready to start building retention funnels for 20x repeat customers with LTVs in the thousands?
Our brand promise is simple: "It's not a product. It's a culture.™" That's a lot more than a catchphrase -- it's core to everything we do. Whether we're sending content creators birthday cakes with baked-in phones, roasting beggars on social media, nuking PETA, or creating a mini-documentary of a customer getting our logo tattooed on their leg, we're in the business of building a brand experience first, and delivering (world-class) products second. In return, we’ve amassed a cult. That, and access to a lot of wallets. We won't lie: it's a pretty sweet deal.
Our email marketing machine is one of our most powerful tools when it comes to spreading the good word of dbrand to the unwashed masses. We're looking for an Email Marketing Specialist who can supercharge that machine. Whether they're developing and maintaining email campaigns, coordinating with our creative team for assets, or finding methods to further improve our gold-standard open and click-through rates, the Email Marketing Specialist retains a singular focus: evolve the cult. If that doesn't sound like your kind of job, save us all some time and close the tab. The job isn't right for you.
If, on the other hand, you're the sort of analytical and motivated individual that we're looking for -- possessing razor-sharp judgment and a knack for critical thinking -- you should keep reading. "dbrand marketing" and "[your company's name] marketing" might end up being identical search queries.
The Environment
The Environment
Still here? Excellent. dbrand thrives where other eCommerce companies have failed because our customers enjoy a revolutionary degree of commitment, engagement, and accessibility from us.

Spreading the good word and growing our cult-like audience? That's its own reward. At dbrand, you have the opportunity to create once-in-a-lifetime brand experiences for consumers.
