01challenge
Seven identities, no developer, every build bespoke
Seven properties with distinct palettes, typefaces and voices, one Dynamics 365 instance, and no in-house email developer. Every campaign was a bespoke build and every edit risked breaking rendering in Outlook.
02solution
One library, a token file per property
A modular library in Foundation for Emails with a token layer per property: colour, type, footer and voucher modules swap per brand while the structure stays the same. Standard, retail and B2B template variants were delivered into Dynamics 365 as locked layouts with editable content regions, and rendering-tested across clients before handover.
