The Email Marketing Lab

The Email Marketing Lab is a one-day virtual workshop broken into three guided sessions. 

You'll shift from manual campaign builds to using Active Intelligence as a strategic partner. By the end of the workshop, you'll walk away with a working email marketing system anchored to your real business goals, plus a live follow-up session the following week.

What you will build

By the time you close your laptop, you will have these assets configured in your own account:

  • A Brand Kit and custom Active Intelligence Instructions tuned to your voice
  • At least one strategic audience segment
  • A business goal mapped to a specific stage of your customer journey
  • A campaign draft with AI-generated content, subject line, and imagery
  • An automation connected to your campaign strategy
  • An A/B test framework you can repeat on future sends
  • A reporting workflow for turning Active Intelligence insights into your next action
One day. Three sessions. A complete system.

What we’ll cover

  • Imagine

    The Strategic Blueprint 

    This session shifts your mindset from "send more emails" to "build intentional journeys," walking you through customer journey stages, goal-setting, and configuring your Brand Kit and Active Intelligence Instructions so every AI output starts on-brand from day one.

  • Activate

    The Bridge to Action

    You will use Active Intelligence to create strategic segments, generate campaign content and images through conversation, and explore when a campaign is better served as an automation, leaving with a draft campaign and automation tied to the goal you set in session one.

  • Validate

    Iteration and Optimization

    This session covers deliverability fundamentals, how to match metrics to your specific goals, A/B and split testing setup, and how to use Active Intelligence as a reporting consultant so the insights you uncover feed directly back into your next strategic cycle.

  • Post Workshop Session

    Office Hour | 60 mins 

    Come back with real questions. This live session is your chance to troubleshoot what you have built, get help applying concepts to your specific account, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks between learning and doing.

Customers

Who this is for

Marketers, owners, and teams already using ActiveCampaign who want to stop spending hours on manual campaign builds and start using Active Intelligence as a strategic extension of their workflow. 

Whether you have never tried the AI features or you have dabbled but nothing has stuck, the Lab meets you where you are.

Come prepared

What you’ll need

To get the most out of the hands-on exercises, you should have:

  • An active ActiveCampaign account with contacts and some sending history
  • Access to your account's email and automation tools during the workshop
  • A business goal or challenge in mind (the first session will help you refine it)

If you are brand new to ActiveCampaign and still getting set up, we recommend starting with one of our free Virtual Study Hall sessions to build your foundation first

What attendees say about our trainings

"...So many doors opened, problems solved in terms of how to manage the customer journey and reach out and integrate... All that said, the #1 awesome element for me was the clarity, knowledge, empathy, and clear logical delivery."
