This redesign includes a reflection on the content, on the look'n feel, but also on the production tools and the way to code an email. Each title produces content and creative briefs that it submits to EBRA Services (subsidiary of the EBRA group) to produce the mock-ups and HTML integrations that will be used in email campaigns. Aware that working in silos can introduce different graphic intentions and can have impacts on deadlines, EBRA Group turned to Badsender attracted by the email expertise and the Design System approach.
