What we actually do

Email program marketing built for trade businesses.

- 01

Email marketing Melbourne businesses actually make money from.

We audit your list, your segments, your domain health and your existing flows - then build a Melbourne-specific roadmap that prioritises revenue, not random newsletters. Every send has a reason and a number behind it.

- 02

Campaigns Melbourne inboxes actually open.

Subject lines that earn the click, copy that sells, design that doesn't get clipped by Gmail. A weekly calendar tuned to Melbourne buyer behaviour - AFL cycles, Cup Week, laneway launches, winter retention windows - so your brand shows up when your customers are ready to buy.

- 03

Klaviyo + Mailchimp automations that print money.

Welcome flows, abandoned cart, browse abandon, post-purchase, win-back, VIP - set once and earning every month, every list, forever. We're Klaviyo-fluent, Mailchimp-fluent, and platform-agnostic. If HubSpot or ActiveCampaign is where your list already lives, we run it there.

- 04

Deliverability handled properly.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, warmup, list hygiene - we keep Melbourne senders out of the spam folder and inside Apple Mail's primary tab. If your open rates have quietly dropped over the last 12 months, deliverability is almost always the reason.

Why email marketing matters for Melbourne businesses.

Melbourne is one of the most saturated advertising markets in the country. CPCs on Google, CPMs on Meta and paid social CAC have all risen faster here than the national average - especially for retail, hospitality, fitness and D2C brands competing in the CBD and inner suburbs. Email is the one channel where that competitive pressure doesn't apply. You own the list. No auction, no bid inflation, no platform algorithm deciding whether your message gets through.

For most Melbourne ecommerce brands and service businesses we work with, email drives 20 to 40% of total revenue when it's run properly. It's still the highest-ROI marketing channel in the world - averaging roughly $42 in return for every $1 spent. It's not sexy, it's not new, but it's what the best-performing Melbourne brands lean on when paid gets expensive.

The problem is that most Melbourne businesses either don't send at all, or send the wrong way - random newsletters with no offer, no segmentation, no follow-up, no automation. That's the gap Brazen closes.

What Brazen does differently as a Melbourne email agency.

We don't just send pretty emails. We build complete email programs designed around your business model - whether that's ecommerce, hospitality, fitness, professional services or B2B SaaS. We segment the list, fix deliverability, build the always-on flows that drive revenue automatically, and run the weekly campaign calendar that keeps the brand top of mind between purchases.

Every Melbourne client gets a real strategy document, a real reporting dashboard, and a real human writing every email - not ChatGPT slop dressed up as content. We report on revenue per send and revenue per subscriber, not vanity opens. You'll know exactly how much email is making you every single month.

We're not based in Melbourne - we're a Gold Coast agency working with Melbourne brands. That's usually a feature, not a bug: you get senior operators without paying the Collins Street office overhead, and Zoom + Slack cover everything a monthly on-site meeting used to. If you need in-person, we fly down.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Are you actually based in Melbourne?+

No - we're a Gold Coast agency working with Melbourne clients. We use Zoom, Slack and Loom to stay closer to your team than most Melbourne agencies do. If you need in-person, we're on a flight regularly. You get senior operators without the CBD office overhead.

What email platform do you use?+

We work with Klaviyo (our default for ecommerce), Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot and most major platforms. If you already have one, we'll use it. If you don't, we'll recommend the right fit for your Melbourne business and stage.

How often should I email my Melbourne list?+

For most businesses, weekly is the sweet spot - frequent enough to drive revenue, infrequent enough to stay welcome in the inbox. We tune cadence around Melbourne calendar events like Cup Week, Grand Final, EOFY and Christmas retail windows.

What if my list is small or cold?+

We'll clean it, warm it, and grow it. Even a small engaged list outperforms a big neglected one - and we'll add list-growth tactics on your site, at point of sale and in your paid funnels to build it over time.

Do you handle SMS too?+

Yes. SMS pairs beautifully with email for Melbourne D2C and retail brands. We run combined Klaviyo email + Klaviyo SMS programs where the two channels reinforce each other rather than compete.
