Our vision is what drive us to do each time better than before.
We want to revolutionise the future of email marketing, building a product that is
easy, powerful and effective. Add real value to the market.
We’re putting ourselves on that path by creating new perspectives, automating
processes and mainly being helpful for the customers by making their life easier.
We give more control to the user by providing a self-service platform with rich
information and relevant content, always supported by transparency and trust.
We create innovation through passion.
The more real value for the user, the more real value for the business. And real value
for the user can only be achieved through great experiences. This is the core of
our approach - transforming a relevant idea into a desirable product with a magical
experience. That is what we do to help our clients to envision and navigate.
We have a lot of enthusiasm for sharing and creating knowledge. We are honest and
curious. We are passionate with a true excitement and love for what we do.
Emailbidding stands for simplicity, power and innovation.

VISION
5. BRANDBOOK 5
A tone of voice is defined by the words you choose and their order, how you build
a sentence. Tone of voice is how you say something and not what you say.
We want our tone of voice to represent our brand personality and values.
Emailbidding tone should be consistent, unique and reliable.
We want the customer to trust us and to be comfortable with our product.
To create that familiarity, our language must be solid and direct, a tone of voice
that builds trust, innovation and knowledge.
Keep it simple, short and comprehensive.
We should maintain a balance between casual and formal language.
We should minimize the use of complex technical terms. We should use a message
that our customers understand, keeping the technical terms only for those who are
familiar with such language.
Make it easy and relevant.
Use straight-talking and accessible words to communicate.
The main goal is to communicate a clear and solid message.
