Think peace of mind, think Hive.co. Its powerful email and SMS marketing CRM allows brands to create personalized and automated messages. With such solutions at their disposal, brands benefit from higher sales and happier customers. It’s no surprise that Hive.co sends 50 million+ emails monthly for the world’s top companies.

The Challenge

Hive.co prides itself on making email marketing easy. But what are emails without a great design? Hive.co knew that to become a complete email marketing platform, they needed a state-of-the-art email builder. However, that required countless hours and dollars spent on development. That’s where the challenge arose. 

Patrick says, “We didn’t have months of bandwidth available (nor did we want to wait that long) to build/ship such a polished product in-house.” 

Apart from the developmental concerns, Patrick and co. didn’t want to constantly update their product to keep up with the ever-changing requirements of different email clients. They knew they had to look for an external solution.

The Solution

Hive.co was on the hunt for a high-quality email builder that offered advanced solutions, adapted to changing industry trends, and was customizable. However, the path to finding one wasn’t easy. Patrick says, “We looked at a few open source tools that were way too complicated or output bad HTML.” 

They got to know about Unlayer through a referral, and then there was no looking back. Unlayer appeared so promising that Hive.co skipped the trial and embedded the email builder straight away. For 4 years now, Hive.co has trusted Unlayer to provide unmatchable email design solutions for their growing clientele. 

"Initially, it took us an afternoon to plug the editor into our product. Since then, we’ve spent many hours building out deep functionality with custom tools."
