Email Design information

What is email design?

Email design is the process of creating visually appealing and effective layouts for emails that are sent to subscribers, customers, or clients. It involves elements such as layout structure, color schemes, fonts, images, and calls-to-action to ensure the message is clear and engaging. Good email design also takes into account responsiveness, so emails display well on different devices, and accessibility, making content readable for all users. The goal is to enhance user experience, increase engagement, and drive the desired action from recipients.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an email designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Email Designer, you need a solid understanding of HTML/CSS, responsive design concepts, and visual design principles, often supported by a relevant degree or portfolio. Familiarity with email marketing platforms like Mailchimp or Campaign Monitor and tools such as Adobe Creative Suite is typically expected. Strong attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication help deliver engaging, on-brand content that resonates with recipients. These skills ensure that email campaigns are visually compelling, technically functional across devices, and drive the desired marketing results.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in email design, and how can they be addressed?

Email designers often encounter challenges such as ensuring designs render consistently across various email clients, managing responsive layouts for different devices, and adhering to branding while maintaining accessibility. To address these, designers typically use email-specific HTML/CSS frameworks, thoroughly test emails in multiple clients, and stay updated on best practices for accessibility and deliverability. Collaboration with marketers, developers, and copywriters is key to creating effective, visually appealing campaigns that achieve business goals.

Job description

Commitment: Part-Time, Freelance, 10–20 hours per week (flexible)

Location: Remote or San Diego Office

About CUENTO

CUENTO is a creative marketing agency built at the intersection of sports, culture, and brand storytelling. We create strategic, emotionally resonant work for brands, organizations, and teams across sports, enterprise, hospitality, lifestyle, and consumer categories.

Our client roster includes both sports and enterprise brands, requiring creatives who are adaptable, collaborative, and capable of working across a wide range of visual styles, audiences, and business objectives. Sports-related work is a significant part of our creative output, making this role especially well‑suited for someone energized by high‑visibility campaigns, fast-moving timelines, and culturally relevant storytelling.

Job Summary

We are looking for an Email Marketing Specialist to own lifecycle and campaign email across a portfolio of brands. This is a hands‑on, fractional role for someone who can plan a calendar, write copy, define creative needs, build a flow and read the reporting well enough to know what to fix next.

You’ll work across multiple clients at once, moving from a promotional send for one brand to a welcome flow rebuild for another, all in the same week. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable owning strategy (segmentation, flow logic, testing roadmap) and executing the details (copy, creative request, content sourcing, build, QA, deployment).

This role offers real ownership over a core channel from day one, with the opportunity to grow into a larger scope as client accounts expand.

Duties & Responsibilities
  • Own email marketing calendars and send schedules across multiple client accounts
  • Build and optimize lifecycle flows (welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, winback, re-engagement)
  • Write email copy aligned with each client’s brand voice and campaign goals
  • Build, QA and deploy campaigns in platforms such as Klaviyo, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, TM1 or comparable ESPs
  • Manage segmentation and list hygiene to improve deliverability and engagement
  • Partner with design/creative to develop email templates and campaign assets
  • Set up and monitor A/B tests (subject lines, send times, content, offers)
  • Track and report on core email KPIs: open rate, click rate, conversion rate, revenue per send, list growth
  • Coordinate email timing with broader marketing campaigns and promotional calendars
  • Stay current on deliverability best practices, platform features, and email trends
Requirements
  • 3–5 years of hands‑on email marketing experience
  • Proven experience building and optimizing lifecycle/flow programs
  • Proficiency in at least one major ESP (Klaviyo and HubSpot strongly preferred)
  • Strong writing skills and an eye for on‑brand, on‑voice copy
  • Comfortable working across multiple brands/clients simultaneously
  • Data‑driven approach to reporting and testing
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Experience in DTC/e-commerce or B2C lifecycle email a plus
  • Familiarity with SMS marketing a plus

CUENTO is an equal opportunity employer. This part‑time, freelance position is remote with the opportunity to work in the office in San Diego.
