2022, another eventful year. We navigated our way through new challenges and new marketing trends that continue to keep us on our toes. But with all this “new,” we still made sure we evolved our strategies to stand out and connect with our audience.
This year has brought a renewed focus on nurturing existing customer relationships, by establishing trust, creating lasting impressions and providing value, all in the pursuit of true connection. We believe that connecting with our customers is how we measure success – so this trend, for us, is one that will go well into 2023 and beyond.
We’re proud to say our platform and our customers have conquered this new landscape to successfully connect and convert audiences like never before. But, before we close out on a fruitful 2022, let’s take a moment to look back and recognize the achievements and milestones we’ve accomplished.
Together, we made an impression
This year, Campaign Monitor customers used our platform to send more emails than ever before – 31,985,621,168 to be exact, that were opened up in 248 countries across the world*. That’s some serious reach!
And, you designed 491,373 email templates that made sure you stood out in the inbox.
You embraced technology and leveled up your email marketing game
You harnessed the power of email, A/B testing 140,663 campaigns and setting up 41,382 automated journeys. Think of all the additional engagement and conversion you drove!
Our new product releases made it easier for you to create impactful campaigns
2022 featured some of our most exciting releases to date. We debuted 26 new features that focused on giving you a smarter, faster and of course simpler way to create impactful campaigns that take your marketing to the next level.
Our biggest and most exciting release for 2022 was the launch of Campaign Monitor SMS – which is now available to contracted customers sending SMS to the USA, UK, Australia and Canada, with expanded availability coming in 2023 (watch this space)!
Our monumental SMS launch now gives our customers access to one of the most powerful and effective marketing channels, so they can connect and convert like never before:
