Audience Revenue Diagnostic

More sponsor revenue. By fixing inbox reach and making your list sellable. Without hiring more staff

You already have the audience. But if your emails aren't reliably hitting the inbox, and your records are missing job titles and industries, you don't have sellable inventory.

We run a forensic audit of deliverability and subscriber data quality. Then we tell you exactly what's broken, what it's costing you, and what to fix first.

It's simpler than you think. Most of the answers are already in your data.

"This is not..."

This is not copywriting. Not content strategy. Not "send more emails."

This is infrastructure and data. The quiet stuff that makes sponsors want to stay.

Who we work with

Established B2B publishers who are content rich but system poor.

If you don't have £200K+ annual sponsor revenue or a real archive, you're not a fit. That's okay. It just means this isn't the right service for you yet.

Fit Check

This is for you if:

  • You do £200K+ in sponsor revenue
  • You have 10,000+ email subscribers
  • Open rates are slipping, or list fatigue is creeping in
  • You can't reliably segment by job title, industry, seniority, or company size
  • Your team is at capacity and can't take on "just one more campaign"

Not for:

  • Early-stage newsletters or new publications
  • Editorial reviews, content plans, or copywriting
  • "We need more traffic" projects

The Quiet Leaks

You treat email as your most valuable asset. It probably is. But two things are quietly costing you money.

1) The Inbox Wall

Your mail says "delivered." But a chunk lands in junk or promotions because of authentication gaps, reputation decay, or list hygiene issues.

You're paying to talk to people who never hear you.

2) The Unsellable List

Sarah wants to sell "Finance leaders in manufacturing." You look at your database and realise thousands of contacts have missing job titles, industries, and seniority.

You can't sell what you can't define. But you can fix it faster than you think.

The 2-Layer Inspection

We look at two things: the pipes and the payload.

Layer 1: Deliverability Forensics

We check the technical wall between you and the inbox:

  • - SPF, DKIM, DMARC alignment
  • - Domain and IP reputation, blocklists
  • - Template risk scan, HTML issues, spam trigger patterns

What you get: A clear risk status, plus the exact actions to fix it.

Layer 2: Data Health and Monetisation Scan

We check whether your audience data is actually sellable:

  • - Fill rates for monetisation fields
  • - B2B vs freemail mix, active vs dead records
  • - Enrichment gap and the cost to close it

What you get: Monetisable audience vs ghost audience, with precise counts.

Most publishers are surprised by how much good data they already have. We just make it visible.

What You Receive in 10 Business Days

1. Deliverability Risk Register

The specific issues suppressing inbox reach, with priority fixes.

2. Data Gap Analysis

A breakdown of list quality and segmentation readiness.

3. Enrichment ROI Model

A cost-benefit view of what enrichment adds in sellable inventory.

4. Prioritised Remediation Plan

Exactly what to fix first, and what to ignore for now.

If you want us to implement the fixes, we can scope a separate cleanup sprint after the audit. But most teams can handle the first round themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to interview our Editor in Chief?

No. This is technical and data-driven. We don't critique editorial. Editors can stay focused on what they do best.

Will you fix the issues for us?

This audit identifies the leaks and the ROI of fixing them. Implementation is a separate project, scoped after the findings. Most teams start fixing things themselves within a week of getting the report.

Is this GDPR compliant?

Yes. For the data scan we can use anonymised exports or metadata-only checks. We don't need personal contact details to measure fill rates and segmentation readiness.

Will this improve open rates?

If deliverability or hygiene issues are suppressing rates, fixing them lifts performance. The audit shows you what's actually happening, not what you hope is happening. That clarity is usually a relief.

Your list isn't broken. It's just not visible to the people buying it.

Stop guessing. Prove inbox reach. Turn your list into sellable inventory.
