    HUb Strategy & Communication | Strategy, design & advertising (without all the bullshit).

    If a small-ish agency is to be truly adept at integrated marketing, that means they'd have to hire creatives that can work in all mediums. Radio writers, TV writers, print writers, art directors, logo designers, package designers, web designers, digital advertising creatives, print producers, naming experts, web producers, and on, and on. Pretty soon that small-ish agency is, well, a big agency. But still, clients need help with all these mediums. And that's why we formed Hub Strategy & Communication. Hub employs a full-time staff of account managers, strategists, creative directors and a handful of creatives. But it's our creative network of about 100 freelancers that makes us different. These creatives include specialists in every function. They form what we've been calling a "creative collective"​ and we work with them on a daily basis. Our creative directors manage and direct these freelancers as if they are on staff. And to our clients, it feels that way. We, in effect, become a creative and strategic hub (Hub, Get it?) that allows us to match the right creative person with any given job.

Frequently Asked Questions.


Re-engaging dormant subscribers is crucial for San Francisco businesses to maximize their email marketing ROI. Here are some effective strategies tailored to the Bay Area market:

  1. Segment your dormant subscribers: Analyze your inactive list based on factors like last engagement date, previous purchase history, and subscriber preferences. This allows for more targeted re-engagement campaigns.
  2. Create a compelling win-back campaign: Design a series of emails specifically aimed at rekindling interest. For San Francisco audiences, consider highlighting local events, tech innovations, or sustainability initiatives that align with your brand.
  3. Offer exclusive incentives: Provide special discounts or early access to new products/services. For example, a San Francisco-based SaaS company might offer a free trial of a premium feature or a complimentary consultation with a local expert.
  4. Use personalization and localization: Leverage data to create highly personalized content. Reference San Francisco neighborhoods, local landmarks, or current events to make your emails more relevant and engaging.
  5. Implement a sunset policy: After several re-engagement attempts, consider implementing a sunset policy to remove persistently inactive subscribers. This helps maintain a healthy email list and improves overall engagement metrics.
  6. Optimize for mobile: With the high concentration of tech-savvy professionals in San Francisco, ensure your emails are mobile-responsive and easily readable on smartphones and tablets.
  7. Leverage social proof: Showcase testimonials or case studies from other San Francisco businesses or influencers to rebuild trust and credibility with dormant subscribers.
  8. Try a different channel: Use retargeting ads on social media platforms or consider direct mail to reach out to dormant subscribers through alternative channels popular in the Bay Area.
  9. Update preferences and frequency: Give subscribers the option to update their preferences or adjust email frequency. This empowers them to control their inbox and may encourage re-engagement.
  10. Use interactive content: Incorporate polls, surveys, or quizzes related to San Francisco trends or local issues to spark interest and encourage interaction.

Remember, the key to successful re-engagement is understanding your audience and providing value. In San Francisco's competitive market, it's crucial to stand out with relevant, personalized content that resonates with the city's diverse and tech-savvy population.

Pro tip: According to a study by Return Path, re-engagement campaigns can result in average read rates of 14%, which is significant for inactive subscribers. By implementing these strategies and continuously testing and refining your approach, you can effectively win back dormant subscribers and boost your email marketing performance in San Francisco's dynamic business environment.



Email marketing remains a powerful tool for San Francisco businesses to nurture leads throughout the sales funnel. Here's how you can effectively use email marketing at each stage of the funnel:

1. Top of the Funnel (Awareness)
  • Welcome Series: Create a series of emails introducing your brand, products, or services to new subscribers. Highlight what makes your San Francisco business unique.
  • Educational Content: Share valuable insights about your industry, trends in the Bay Area market, or how-to guides relevant to your target audience.
  • Local Events: Promote San Francisco-based events, webinars, or workshops to engage potential leads.
2. Middle of the Funnel (Consideration)
  • Personalized Content: Use segmentation to deliver targeted content based on subscriber interests, behavior, or demographics specific to San Francisco neighborhoods or industries.
  • Case Studies: Showcase success stories from local San Francisco clients to build credibility and trust.
  • Product Comparisons: Provide detailed information about your offerings, comparing them to alternatives in the Bay Area market.
3. Bottom of the Funnel (Decision)
  • Limited-Time Offers: Create urgency with San Francisco-specific promotions or exclusive deals for email subscribers.
  • Free Trials or Demos: Encourage leads to try your product or service with a no-obligation trial or personalized demo.
  • Testimonials: Feature reviews and testimonials from satisfied San Francisco customers to build trust and overcome objections.
4. Post-Purchase (Retention and Advocacy)
  • Onboarding Sequence: Guide new customers through the initial stages of using your product or service, with a focus on San Francisco-specific applications or features.
  • Feedback Requests: Solicit reviews and feedback to improve your offerings and show that you value customer opinions.
  • Loyalty Programs: Implement a loyalty program that rewards repeat customers with perks tailored to San Francisco preferences.

To maximize the effectiveness of your email marketing funnel:

  1. Personalization: Use data to personalize content, subject lines, and send times. According to a study by Experian, personalized emails deliver 6x higher transaction rates.
  2. Automation: Implement automated workflows to ensure timely, relevant communication. Companies using marketing automation see 53% higher conversion rates (Annuitas Group).
  3. Mobile Optimization: Ensure all emails are mobile-friendly, as 61% of email opens occur on mobile devices (Adestra).
  4. A/B Testing: Continuously test and refine your email content, design, and strategy to improve performance.
  5. Local Relevance: Incorporate San Francisco-specific content, such as local events, news, or trends, to increase engagement.

By implementing these strategies, San Francisco businesses can create a robust email marketing funnel that effectively nurtures leads from initial awareness through to loyal customer advocacy. Remember to comply with data privacy regulations like CCPA, which is particularly important for California-based businesses.



In the fast-paced digital landscape of San Francisco, integrating email marketing with other digital channels is crucial for creating a cohesive and effective marketing strategy. Here are some innovative ways to achieve this integration:

  1. Social Media Integration:
    • Use social media platforms popular in San Francisco, like Instagram and LinkedIn, to grow your email list.
    • Include social sharing buttons in your emails to encourage subscribers to share content on their networks.
    • Create exclusive content for email subscribers and tease it on social media to drive sign-ups.
  2. Content Marketing Synergy:
    • Repurpose blog content from your website into email newsletters, providing added value to subscribers.
    • Use email to promote downloadable content like eBooks or whitepapers, driving traffic back to your website.
    • Create a content calendar that aligns email topics with your blog and social media content for a consistent message across channels.
  3. Mobile App Integration:
    • If your San Francisco-based business has a mobile app, use in-app notifications to encourage email sign-ups.
    • Sync user data between your app and email platform to create more personalized email campaigns.
    • Use email to highlight new app features or updates, driving engagement across both channels.
  4. SMS and Email Coordination:
    • Implement an SMS opt-in within your email campaigns for time-sensitive updates or promotions.
    • Use SMS to alert subscribers about important emails, especially for flash sales or limited-time offers popular in the competitive San Francisco market.
  5. Video Marketing Integration:
    • Embed video thumbnails in emails that link to full videos on your website or YouTube channel.
    • Create email-exclusive video content to increase open rates and engagement.
    • Use platforms like Vidyard or Wistia to track video engagement from email clicks.
  6. Retargeting and Paid Advertising:
    • Use email subscriber lists to create custom audiences for retargeting campaigns on platforms like Facebook and Google Ads.
    • Implement pixel tracking in emails to retarget subscribers who engaged with specific content.
  7. Interactive Content:
    • Incorporate interactive elements like polls or surveys in emails and share results across other channels.
    • Use AMP for Email to create interactive experiences directly within the email, such as appointment booking or product browsing.
  8. AI and Automation:
    • Utilize AI-powered tools to analyze customer data across channels and create hyper-personalized email campaigns.
