Digital Designer - ERGO

About Us

We are a SaaS MarTech company specializing in personalized email marketing for blue-chip brands. 

Our platform empowers marketers to automatically create hyper-dynamic HTML email content modules at scale. It’s integrated with enterprise ESPs, such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud APIs, so clients can easily publish these email modules from our system with the push of a button.

The best way to envision this is to imagine reading a magazine, and with every page turn, the content learns about you and can predict the content that is most relevant to you as an individual.

Since COVID, we have transitioned to a work-from-almost-anywhere framework. What that means in practical terms is that people can be virtual, or if needed, can work in a WeWork location. We still think team building is important, so we also plan  in-person quarterly gatherings and monthly virtual events.
