…for when your strategy isn’t what it needs to be


“We had our first ever 5 figure month through working with Chimp Answers”

What does Email Marketing mean to you?
Firing of a few newsletters… or is there a bit more to it?

When it comes to digital marketing, email marketing is definitely the OG. It’s been around for over 25 years… and yet despite it’s age, it’s still seen by many as the #1 digital marketing tool.

The thing is, because it’s such an established marketing methodology, there’s lots of people doing it… and because of that there’s lots of people touting themselves as experts.

If you’re looking for someone to help with an overall strategy for your email marketing, ensuring it dovetails with other elements in your toolkit, but delivers and stands on it’s own, how can you ensure they know what they’re talking about… and can actually deliver results?

When it comes to email marketing strategy, Chimp Answers tick every box on your dance card.

We’ve coined a phrase that explains our approach, and what makes us different to everyone else… “Head in the clouds, Hands in the dirt“.

Why Choose Chimp Answers?

Here are 3 key reasons why you should consider Chimp Answers as the best answer to help you develop and grow your email marketing activity through Mailchimp.

Certified Experts, Proven Results

We’re one of the first agencies globally to earn Mailchimp Pro Partner status—meaning we don’t just know the platform, we know how to make it deliver.

More Than Just Tech Support

With over 40 years of combined marketing experience, we help you use Mailchimp strategically, not just technically.

Recognised by the Mailchimp Community

From running one of the largest user groups to hosting Chimposium, we’re trusted voices in the global Mailchimp space.

Head in the Clouds, Hands in the Dirt
Why we’re your perfect email partner

In a highly congested market place… we think we’ve got the email marketing thing covered… because unlike nearly everyone out there, we not only can see the big picture, but are happy to get into the detail – and just as important, how it gets implemented.

Chimp Answers collectively have over 30 years marketing experience covering all aspects.

We’ve got experience in agencies and client-side, and have worked in businesses big and small – so we know how to fit email in with your other marketing tools to ensure you have a comprehensive plan.

…but the thing that really sets us apart is that we know the details… because we live them ourselves every day. Our business runs on Mailchimp, so we’re continually tweaking and testing to get the most for ourselves – which means that when we talk with you about big picture strategy… we actually know how to implement it successfully! (Take that big agencies, who can talk a good game, but when it comes to getting down in the detail… don’t like getting their hands dirty!”

So if you want to work with someone on your marketing, who know how to squeeze every last drop of success from your email marketing… and can actually help do it for you, then Chimp Answers are… well… the answer. 

Who is this Best For?

Email marketing can be hard… so if you’re looking for an expert partner who not only understands email marketing, but how it can fit with your overall marketing strategy, then I’d suggest it’s worth a chat!

How it Works

For most people who are interest in planning and strategy support, we’ll start with an initial chat and then a review of your Mailchimp account (our Mailchimp Health Check).

From this we can get to grips with where you are and where the opportunities are across the board.

We then work on the bespoke support you need, develop a clear plan… agree it and get motoring.

Costs Involved

Obviously, every situation is different and your needs are bespoke to you, so costs can vary, but if it’s a one of plan, then this can start at $500 and if you need ongoing support we can discuss and agree a level that’s right for you.

Timing & Next Steps

If you’re interested in having us help you with your strategy and planning, drop us a line and we’ll set up an initial chat…

…from this call, we can usually get rolling quickly and turn around things around in about 2 weeks.

“I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for Mailchimp help”

We’ve worked with Chimp Answers in the past, setting up forms and autoresponders for our website, and recently had the opportunity to set up a booth at a virtual conference and wanted to capture and communicate with enquiries.

Efficient and Responsive, with a clear understanding of Mailchimp and the best way to use it in the real world, Chimp Answers are always on speed-dial when it comes to supporting our marketing efforts with Mailchimp.

Account Set Up

Krystal Clear Accounting needed a variety of different tools to capture subscribers at live events and managed automations to follow up.

Working from their copy, we create and updated their emails and created diverse workflows to manage communication effectively depending on event and interest.

“They really know their stuff…“

I started working with Chimp Answers in 2015 and since then they’ve proved to be an essential part of my business.

When it comes to Marketing and Mailchimp they really knows their stuff and have been able to not only help us build a marketing system that has increased our revenue, but develop a foundation to our business that will support us for many years to come.

Account Management

Luck’s Yard Clinic is a Chiropractic clinic and our oldest client – we’ve worked with them for over 8 years supporting them in all aspects of Mailchimp.

Initially we worked to connect their patient  management system into Mailchimp, and more recently fully manage their Mailchimp account.

“I achieved my first ever 5 figure month…”

I came to Chimp Answers as they were the go-to guys when it comes to Mailchimp… little did I know that Mailchimp was just the first step and his understanding of the bigger picture and the customer path was an area that he’s really been able to help with.

I achieved my first ever 5 figure month working with them and we’re continuing to develop my overall marketing strategy.

Robin’s strategic insight coupled with the ability to get his hands dirty in systems is a unique combination of skills and ensures that those who work with him not only get an insightful overview, but practical, implementable advice.
