About Campaign Monitor
Campaign Monitor is an email marketing service known for polished templates, a reliable drag-and-drop editor and tools for agencies that manage email for clients, including client accounts, branded access and automation sharing across subaccounts. It covers campaigns, a visual journey designer for automated emails, segmentation, sign-up forms, personalisation, A/B testing and reporting, plus an optional website builder add-on. The company is part of Marigold, which also owns Emma and other marketing brands. Plans run from a free tier and Lite through Essentials and Premier, priced by contact count, with a free trial; prices are shown in local currency. Its strengths are design and agency workflows rather than ecommerce depth or advanced automation, and its pace of new features has slowed compared with newer rivals. Teams that send well-designed newsletters and campaigns for several brands still find it a comfortable fit.
Best for: Agencies and design-conscious teams sending campaigns for several brands.
