Email, Engineered

We Don't Design Email. We Engineer It.

Founded by an aeronautical engineer in 2017. We treat your Klaviyo account like an aircraft. Lift, thrust, drag, weight, measured every send. Pretty isn't the goal. Revenue is.

FIG. 02 / FORCE DIAGRAM SEE FIG. 01
Force diagram

Email is governed by four forces.

The same physics that get an aircraft off the ground govern whether your email reaches the inbox, gets clicked, and converts. Two forces work for you. Two work against you. We measure all four on every send.

LIFT + THRUST   >   DRAG + WEIGHT  =  REVENUE
L

Lift

Open rate

L = f(subject, sender, send-time)

Without lift, no email gets off the ground regardless of what is inside it. We engineer the four variables that determine whether a message ever opens.

— Levers we tune

  • Subject line A/B at scale
  • Sender domain reputation + auth
  • Send-time optimisation per profile
  • Engagement-based suppression
T

Thrust

Click-through rate

T = f(CTA, copy, fit)

Thrust is what moves a subscriber forward into your funnel. One message. One CTA. Tested for the click, not the open.

— Levers we tune

  • Single primary CTA per send
  • Copy stripped of brand-voice padding
  • Above-the-fold action design
  • Send-content-segment matching
D

Drag

Funnel friction

D = f(length, choices, weight-of-design)

Drag is everything between the subscriber and the click. Long copy, multiple CTAs, image-heavy designs. Every gram you do not need is drag.

— Levers we tune

  • Mostly-text email design
  • Removed decorative imagery
  • Image-to-text ratio < 40%
  • Single-action discipline
W

Weight

List quality

W = f(disengaged, broken-data, dead-segments)

Disengaged subscribers, broken segmentation, dirty data. Weight is the silent tax on every send. We strip it relentlessly to protect deliverability.

— Levers we tune

  • Engagement-tiered list pruning
  • Profile data hygiene quarterly
  • Sunset flow for cold contacts
  • Predictive churn segmentation
SHEET A / COMPARISON SIDE-BY-SIDE
The Wedge

How we work vs. how creative agencies work

Most ecommerce email agencies sell you 30 hours of design work per email and call the result "elevated content." We sell you 4 hours of engineered email that gets the click. The difference shows up in your revenue, not your inbox.

Other agencies

They decorate.

  • The goal A beautiful email worth showcasing in their portfolio
  • The metric Open rate, "engagement," brand consistency
  • The email Image-heavy, scrollable, multi-section, designer-approved typography
  • A/B testing Subject lines, occasionally
  • The reporting Monthly engagement deck with vanity metrics
  • Hours per email 30 hours of design work (it's billable)
  • What you get A pretty inbox
CORRECT ANSWER

Email Optimize

We engineer.

  • The goal The click and the sale. Pretty isn't a goal.
  • The metric Revenue per recipient, attributed orders, flow contribution %
  • The email One message, one CTA, mostly text, built for inbox placement
  • A/B testing Subject + send time + flow architecture + segment + offer
  • The reporting Live revenue dashboard. Klaviyo access. Monthly written read-out.
  • Hours per email 4 hours of engineering, not 30 hours of decoration
  • What you get Email = 30–50% of total ecommerce revenue

If you've been told email is supposed to look like a landing page, you've been sold a billable hour, not a revenue strategy.

SHEET B / OPERATIONS SCOPE OF WORK
What we operate

Five systems, one compounding revenue engine.

Email isn't a deliverable, it's an operating system. We run five interlocking systems on your account, instrumented and tuned every send. Hover any module to see what it does.

01

Email Campaigns

Tailored campaigns that convert. We craft the copy, segment the send, and report the revenue.

02

Segmentation

Behavioural and predictive segments built from purchase data, engagement, and CLV. Right inbox, right time.

03

Automation

Welcome, abandoned cart, browse, post-purchase, win-back. Flows running 24/7 with conditional logic that compounds.

04

Analytics

Revenue per recipient. Attribution. Flow contribution. Live dashboards, written read-outs, decisions backed by data.

05

A/B Testing

Subject line, send time, copy, offer, segment, flow architecture. Tested in production against a holdout cohort.

SHEET C / PROCEDURE EXECUTE IN ORDER
Procedure

The flight log. Four phases.

Same procedure every engagement. Pre-flight check on day one, take-off in week two, cruise reporting from week three, and continuous telemetry for as long as we run the account. No mystery. No "creative process."

  1. 01 PRE-FLIGHT

    Data Analysis

    We pull your subscriber data, purchase history, and current Klaviyo state. Map the four forces. Identify what is adding drag, where lift is leaking, and what to strip first.

  2. 02 TAKE-OFF

    Segmentation

    Behavioural and predictive segments rebuilt from the audit. Engagement tiers. Predicted CLV cohorts. Sunset rules. Real segments, not list-tags.

  3. 03 CRUISE

    Campaign Build

    Flows architected, copy stripped, single-CTA discipline applied. We send the first revenue-generating campaign within two weeks of kick-off.

  4. 04 TELEMETRY

    Optimisation

    A/B testing across subject, send time, copy, offer, and flow architecture. Monthly written read-out. Revenue per recipient as the scoreboard.

From Aeronautics

Meet Pete Devkota.

"Email and aeronautics are the same job: small adjustments compound into massive outcomes."

Pete holds a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering. He spent the early 2010s designing flight-control systems before pivoting to copywriting and digital marketing in 2013, into ecommerce in 2014, and founding Email Optimize in 2017.

Over the years, Pete has worked with more than 800 ecommerce and DTC brands, from budding startups to INC 5000 companies generating up to $100M annually. Relaxium, Better Body Co., Popl. The portfolio reads like brands who care more about engineered outcomes than designer-approved aesthetics.

Outside work: a dedicated father to his son Riyan, a loving husband, a soccer and cricket fan, and dreams of visiting the Lagavulin distillery in Scotland.
