Hire email marketers who drive revenue — not just send newsletters.
A polished portfolio doesn't prove someone can grow a list, write copy that
converts, or optimise a campaign in real time.
Use our 15-minute, scenario-based
test to see how candidates plan, execute, and improve email campaigns — before you
commit to interviews or a hire.
Why Test Email Marketing?
Email remains one of the highest-ROI marketing channels — but only when
executed by someone who understands segmentation, deliverability, and conversion
strategy.
The problem? Most candidates can talk about open rates but
struggle to build campaigns that actually move the needle. Heroify helps you see the
difference early.
Without Testing
What you risk
- Campaigns that land in spam or get ignored because of poor list hygiene
- Generic blasts instead of targeted, revenue-driving sequences

- Declining engagement because no one is analysing what actually works
With 
What you gain
- Email marketers who build lists that grow and convert
- Campaigns tailored to segments, not one-size-fits-all sends
- Higher open rates, click-through rates, and revenue per email
- Data-driven optimisation instead of guesswork

Your welcome email sequence has a 45% open rate on Email 1 but drops to 12% on Email 3. The click-through rate on Email 3 is actually higher than Email 1 among those who open it. What should you investigate first?
