Where Behavioral Strategy Meets Messaging Performance
Client Overview
Industry: Consumer Goods
Focus Area: Email Marketing Performance
Challenge: Improve stagnant open rates and drive Q2 growth without disrupting brand identity or creative operations.
Initial State:
Despite brand strength and substantial email volume, performance metrics were lagging:
- Open Rates: Stalled in the low teens; never exceeded 22%
- Email Volume: Millions sent monthly; high reliance on channel performance
- Business Pressure: Q1 underperformed; email seen as critical growth lever
- Internal Insight: Email needed a fast, strategic reset, not just a creative tweak
Key Challenges:
- Stale Engagement: Message fatigue and overexposure in inbox
- Lack of Behavioral Targeting: Content wasn’t aligned to emotional triggers or buyer mindset
- Operational Constraints: Needed a solution that didn’t require rebuilding creative pipelines or rebranding
The BMG Solution: Message Resonance Workshop
We conducted a 2-day, high-impact behavioral workshop, powered by BMG’s proprietary pre-analysis of:
- Buyer behavior & emotional triggers
- Language patterns in existing campaigns
- Industry benchmarks for behavioral influence
Our Approach: We restructured their messaging architecture around three high-impact use cases, designed to align with distinct behavioral intent:
- Impulse Activation – Quick decisions and urgency-based messaging
- Brand Building – Reaffirming value and brand trust
- Emotional Connection – Deep resonance, empathy, and storytelling
To make it stick, we built a rapid testing framework that the client team could implement immediately — with zero disruption to their creative process or brand voice.
Results (Within 10 Days):
| Messaging Type | Average Open Rate |
|---|---|
| Impulse-Driven | 26.56% |
| Brand-Focused | 34.88% |
| Emotion-Led | 43.38% |
➡️ 30%+ average open rates sustained across 10 business days, using a strategic mix of all three messaging paths tailored to intent.
Why It Worked:
This wasn’t a copywriting fix — it was a behavioral realignment.
By anchoring messages in emotional drivers, and identifying where existing messages missed the mark, we helped the brand build resonance, not just reach.
“Behavior creates results. Messaging just needs to get in sync.”
