Campaign creation processes in organizations are often managed by an agency, expensive in-house technical talent, or a combination of the two. The time it takes to hand-code campaigns is immense. Multiple technical tools and hand-offs are often required, creating long wait times, and inflated billable hours from agencies. Time and money increase with every step, and the opportunity cost is high – since these resources could be doing many other high-value tasks, like focusing on strategy, or conducting coveted AB testing and analyzing the results.
Find out how Knak can help you streamline your campaign creation process to save you time and money:

Save Money
Many organizations use in-house technical talent or agencies to create their campaigns. How do we compare?
- In-house email developers take an average of 10 hours to code an email. In a 40-hour week, the developer can code up to 10 emails per week. At an average salary of $100K for a developer, this means an email costs $1,923.00.
- Agencies often charge $10,000 – $80,000 for ONE template.
- Knak allows multiple marketers to create unlimited emails at a single cost – much lower than in-house developers and a fraction of the cost of an agency.
- It can be noted that with Knak, you also get landing page creation so you increase your cost-efficiency tremendously by using our platform and adding a whole new asset category to your team’s skill set.
