We brought a custom cursor to the party

Email Weekly No 532

Brought to you by Karolina // CRM Developer

August 1

Hello Email Geek!

On this day every year, we mark the birth of the World Wide Web. What began as a single page over 30 years ago has now become the foundation of everyday life – including, of course, email marketing!

In this email, inspired by the first-ever webpage, we've included an interactive feature – a custom cursor, which was a popular element of the early internet era. Select yours from the tab on the right and get clicking.

You can hear more about this idea from our Lead Designer, Ben, and our Senior Developer, Conor, who used the same feature in a recent standout campaign for our client, BBC Studios.
