Your newsletter, redesigned and built in your ESP.
Our designer builds a newsletter template that matches your brand and sets you apart in your industry. Add a custom-designed archive if you want one.
We currently have capacity for two more Design Sprint engagements.
Trusted by these companies
Readers judge your business by what lands in their inbox.
A templated newsletter reads like everyone else's and says nothing about the quality of your work. After the sprint, yours looks and feels built for you, a clear signal that you take the work seriously and operate differently than your competitors.
How it works
Three weeks, start to finish.
Week 1: Direction
A 30-minute kickoff call, then we review your brand guidelines, website, and past newsletters, and share two design directions for you to react to.
Week 2: Design
We develop the direction you pick into a full template: header, section styles, buttons, icons, section dividers, and footer. Built for desktop and mobile, with one round of revisions.
Week 3: Finalize
A second round of revisions, then we build and test the template in your ESP, including rendering checks across major email clients, and deliver final files and a style guide.
What we'll need: brand guidelines, logo files, fonts, and colors; examples of past newsletters and ones you like; your current newsletter structure; and one point person who can send feedback within 2 business days of each round.
Choose your scope
Add the archive now, or keep it for later. It's built and tested in your ESP either way.
Your template, plus a custom-designed archive built on your site to match your brand.

Transformed A Newsletter To Be Required Reading For An Industry

What our clients say
Our newsletter with Future Forest is our best-performing email marketing campaign, yielding brand engagement at the top of the funnel to sales opportunities at the bottom of the funnel.

Before Future Forest stepped in, our newsletter was an afterthought — inconsistent, rushed, and never quite meeting the bar I knew we were capable of. Since then, we're hitting 60–70% open rates and seeing real revenue attribution. It's now a core engine, not a side project.

The Future Forest team has leveled up our newsletter in ways we couldn't have done on our own. Future Forest manages the entire end-to-end process for us, saving us hours every month.

Before you book
Do I have to change my ESP?
We work inside whatever ESP you already use. No need to switch platforms.
What happens after the sprint?
If you want ongoing support, your sprint fee credits toward onboarding. If not, the work is yours and we part ways.
A down payment for ongoing newsletter support
If you move into ongoing newsletter support within 30 days of final delivery, your sprint fee ($1,500 or $2,500) is credited toward your onboarding fee when you sign a six-month agreement.
The credit applies first to the design portion of onboarding, then to the remainder. Your template and style guide are yours either way.
The fine print
The credit applies only to a six-month agreement signed within 30 days of final delivery.
It can only be applied to the onboarding fee (not monthly retainer fees), and it can't exceed the onboarding fee.
Run more than one sprint? Credits combine, up to your onboarding fee.
Sprint fees are non-refundable.
The timeline pauses if we're waiting on access or feedback from your side.
Three weeks to a template you're proud of.
No ongoing commitment required.
