Advertising agencies · Email marketing
Reach the advertiser while next season's budget is still being decided.
Email marketing for an advertising agency is the note that lands before a marketing head fixes next season's budget, and the one that brings a lapsed advertiser back without a fresh pitch. GullySales builds the list from your own contacts and times each send to the category.
What email marketing means
Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

Sales and marketing for advertising agencies, the overview.
For advertising agencies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The list lives in a phone and a box of cards”
Years of contacts sit where nobody else in the agency can use them, so nothing goes out while the founder is pitching.
“Budget dates set the send, not your calendar”
A builder fixes the launch spend weeks before the brief goes out, and that is the week your note should arrive.
“A lapsed advertiser is cheaper than a shortlist”
One campaign idea sent to someone who has not booked in a year skips the pitch altogether.
What we do
What we deliver for advertising agencies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A mailing list built from your billing records
Every advertiser who has booked through you, with the category, the media they take and the season they take it in, cleaned of dead addresses and people who have moved on.
Result: A send reaches advertisers rather than bounced inboxes.
A booking deadline mailer for each medium
Short notes carrying the dates that matter, such as festive editions closing, admission supplement deadlines and hoarding renewal cycles, sent only to the advertisers they apply to.
Result: You are useful in the inbox instead of promotional.
A pre-budget note timed to each category
One mail carrying a single campaign idea, sent in the weeks a developer or a principal is fixing next season's spend.
Result: Your name is in the conversation before the brief is written.
A reactivation sequence for lapsed advertisers
Two mails to anybody who has not booked in a year, the first with an idea for their category and the second with a date, timed to their season.
Result: An old client returns without a fresh pitch.
Permission and unsubscribes handled properly
Consent recorded against each contact, an unsubscribe link on every send, and requests to stop acted on the same day.
Result: Your agency domain keeps landing in inboxes.
Opens, replies and briefs reported by list
What each category list did with each send, and which briefs followed, measured against the baseline from the audit.
Result: You keep sending to the list that answers and rest the one that does not.
How the result is measured
- Open rate
- Click rate
- Enquiries from email
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

Why us
Why a studio brings us in for its own pipeline.
Marketing and sales, as one job
We work the part after the enquiry as well: the reply, the follow-up, the proposal and the CRM your own pipeline runs on.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
