Most email newsletters get ignored. But what if yours didn’t?

In this high-impact Zoom Dive, Alexandra Fearon—founder of customer journey consultancy Maybe Later—shared how creative entrepreneurs can transform their email marketing from forgettable to unmissable. The session was a deep dive into the strategy, storytelling, and segmentation that make newsletters not just readable, but revenue-generating.

Alex’s approach is refreshingly human. With a background in helping purpose-driven businesses untangle messy marketing and map clear customer journeys, she’s all about making email feel like a conversation—not a sales pitch. Whether you’re a seasoned sender or still staring at a blank Mailchimp draft, this session will help you rethink your email strategy from the ground up.

Listen to the recording and discover:

  • How to shift your mindset from ‘sending emails’ to building a meaningful customer journey.
  • The storytelling techniques that make newsletters feel personal, relevant, and worth reading.
  • Ways to make your emails more mobile-friendly and accessible—without sacrificing style.
  • What today’s most useful email metrics reveal about audience engagement and conversion.
  • How to use segmentation to speak directly to different audience needs and behaviours.
  • Practical tweaks and experiments to help you improve your next send.
