Firstup Announces Orchestrated Email to Help Internal Communications Teams Personalize the Digital Employee Experience

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Firstup, the digital employee experience leader, today introduced Firstup Email, which helps internal communications teams deliver an enhanced digital employee experience. To help enterprises overcome the challenge of attention overload in the workforce, Firstup Email automatically optimizes email delivery by sending information at the right time to the right people.

In a bid to maximize email personalization, effectiveness and greater employee engagement, Firstup Email is an employee communications game changer. It automates the delivery of relevant and eye-catching content tailored to individual employees. Firstup Email lets users focus on employee messaging and strategy instead of wasting time on email mechanics.

Even as organizations have become increasingly more complex in the tools they use to reach employees, 95% of office employees still claim email as their main channel of communication. Email is indeed an undeniable force in the enterprise, but what is also clear is that we receive too many emails, at inopportune times, and often with irrelevant content. In fact, workers claim to receive up to 121 emails per day.

“It used to take our teams 10 hours just to create one email newsletter. Now we’re down to 45 minutes or less,” said Melissa Tizon, vice president of National Communication at Providence.

Workforce Engagement Revitalized
Firstup isn’t stopping at optimizing newsletters. Introducing advancements in automation and intelligence, email delivery is revolutionized. With Firstup Email, businesses can use this power to truly engage their workforce:

  • Orchestrated email delivery to reach employees at the optimal time with personalized delivery based on their behavior preferences and messaging priority.
  • Automated campaign templates with designs and branding complemented by ready-to-go employee groups and campaign settings.
  • High-impact, drag-and-drop designs that empower businesses to create rich, consumer-style content without a graphic designer.
  • Targeted messaging to the right people every time with easy to create audiences that are always up to date without IT support.
  • Analytics and granular tracking metrics that filter audiences, insights, and business initiatives enabling users to understand what works and what doesn’t.

“Despite the longevity of the medium, the approach to creating and sending emails hasn’t evolved,” said Jed Brown, chief product officer of Firstup. “Email continues to be difficult and frustrating to design, personalizing content is tricky, and measuring success with embedded analytics remains limited. Firstup Email changes all of that by delivering an email experience that allows communicators to focus on content that cuts through the noise and gives employees the most important information first.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
