It’s no secret that email marketers are dealing with increased workloads. Today, you’re being asked to do more than ever—and with less time, budget, and team bandwidth too.
Which is why centralized martech solutions are becoming more and more necessary with each passing day. Over the last six months, we’ve seen a nearly 40% increase in the use of API-based integrations among our partners—proving that brand-specific personalization tools are necessary for bridging the industry’s most important knowledge gaps by giving marketers access to their entire suite of integrated third-party platforms, software products, and data feeds from a single location.
With this in mind, we’re excited to announce our direct integration with world-leading brand language optimization technology provider Phrasee. And even more excited to see the brand-specific email experiences you create using this new, seamless combination of your brand’s best-performing content, loyal customer insights, and industry-leading personalization capabilities.
“We have a shared goal of creating a single, user-friendly hub for email marketers to make it easy to access the very best content and capabilities for their campaigns. Together, we offer a better overall service and more robust capabilities, and we’re thrilled to help email marketers integrate intelligent brand content support from Phrasee, easily and all in one place,” said Kenna Hillburn, Chief Operating Officer at Liveclicker.
So, what do you stand to gain from our Phrasee integration? Let’s explore the advantages brand-optimized personalization can deliver your business now!
Create more (and better) CTAs faster with the power of Phrasee and Liveclicker at your fingertips
Personalization is essential for any brand looking to build solid, long-term relationships with its customers. Not only does it help boost engagement, but it also can reduce customer acquisition costs—allowing marketers to focus on increasing the lifetime value of their current customers (a more cost-effective tactic) rather than focusing on engagement-driven audience metrics.
And while email experts are aware of this reality, many still struggle to implement personalization into their existing efforts and into their CTAs in a way that doesn’t sacrifice elements of their brand voice and style. Now is the time for brands to look past standard, non-personalized messaging in favor of personalized experiences that are woven into every step of the customer journey.
Liveclicker’s integration with Phrasee helps you create brand language that turns opens into clicks—and clicks into loyal customers. We make it easy for you to deliver personalized experiences with the right content, at the right time, to the right people—all in your unique brand voice.
Why is this so important? Because studies show that personalized CTAs convert 202% better than default or standard messaging, and 80% of customers are more likely to make a purchase that is personalized. Together, we help you increase conversions by creating “brand-centric” copy in less time. And by making it possible to test your email experiences at the moment of engagement, you can be sure your team is always sending the most relevant, impactful content to every recipient.
Scale your marketing efforts without sacrificing your brand’s voice
Take the guesswork out of creating high-converting copy by testing multiple, AI-powered CTAs code-free in just a few clicks. Phrasee’s integration with Liveclicker helps you spend less time stressing over what works by adding proven, brand-optimized CTAs automatically to your live, personalized elements.
This allows you to quickly determine which option(s) are most likely to positively influence your click-through rates and immediately deploy that winning option to the rest of your campaign. That data is then automatically sent back to our system so you can create future CTAs that include the language that customers are not only responding to, but that they’ve come to know, love, and expect from your brand.
Introduce new campaigns with language that is relevant to every customer
Creating and deploying new campaigns just became easier and quicker, particularly for nimble teams who don’t have much time to generate a bunch of new CTAs.
So, whether you want to introduce a new product category or roll out a new seasonal product, our integration makes it easier to automate your brand’s voice, create clear CTAs throughout your personalized experiences, and ultimately make each offer irresistible.
Validate what is working based on data, and not just a gut feeling
No more subjective squabbles over language or endless hours in the thesaurus. We know that the process of creating and testing multiple email messages can be long, overwhelming, and very subjective. Our integration helps you confirm assumptions based on data so you can stop creating copy that just sounds good and let the data tell you exactly what is good.
We also help you automate the process of adding variants to your personalized elements, A/B testing them, and updating the winning experience immediately so that your campaigns are optimized in real-time for success.

We all knew the General Data Protection Regulation was going to make waves. Nearing the end of the first year of its enforcement though, our focus is being turned to a new privacy legislation: the California Consumer Protection Act. This data privacy law is aimed broadly at the processing of personal information which relates to consumers residing in the state of California and applies to a variety of entities—from individual operations to corporations—which process that personal information. Like GDPR, its purpose is to remedy the imbalances created by new technology and the expanding use of personal information in a sparse landscape of consumer protections, and it attempts this by establishing the privacy rights of individuals and creating an accountability framework for the processing and “selling” of personal information.
Liveclicker maintains a robust privacy program designed around the concept of Privacy by Design and long-standing principles for data privacy represented by privacy frameworks like the one established by the OECD. Through this privacy program, we are in the process of assessing CCPA’s requirements and reviewing any gaps in our current standards. If necessary, we will integrate changes into our software to ensure that our customers are able to comply with their own obligations under CCPA.
CCPA itself is very broad in its current interpretation, with many amendments still being considered by California State legislature. This means the scope and applicability of CCPA could change as we near its effective date of January 1, 2020. As CCPA and other new privacy laws take shape, at the Federal level, or across the globe, Liveclicker believes that our privacy program is well suited to adapt to changing regulations and support the privacy and security of individuals globally.

We are excited to let you know that Liveclicker has been acquired by Marigold, a family of leading marketing technology companies. By joining forces with Marigold, we are able to provide our clients with additional product development and service staff while we ramp investments in support systems and people.
What exactly is changing?
There are not many outwardly visible changes. In fact, the Liveclicker acquisition was completed in July of 2018 so our commitment to ‘business as usual’ is already clear. Liveclicker will continue to operate as an independent company under the Liveclicker brand. The people you work with, such as your account manager and product support staff, won’t change. The Liveclicker management team is in place. Our partnerships are continuing without interruption or changes. The core focus and mission of the company remain steadfast.
The real changes have already happened behind the scenes. For example, we have accelerated spending in product development, services, and technical support. We now have a world-class back office to help us scale even faster including new finance, legal, and HR functions. These changes are designed to help Liveclicker grow as we deepen our focus on personalization while maximizing the value of email marketing for our clients.
Why an acquisition?
Liveclicker’s vision is to make email personalization simple and scalable. To bring our vision to as many marketers as possible, we needed to accelerate investments in both products and people. To achieve that goal, the Liveclicker management team explored several options, including raising outside capital and aligning with a strategic partner. Ultimately, we were convinced that Marigold provided the best opportunity to accelerate Liveclicker’s growth so we could bring our vision of the future of email personalization to a much broader community of marketers.
Why Marigold?
We were intrigued by Marigold from the outset. Marigold operates one of the world’s largest email service providers, Campaign Monitor. Campaign Monitor serves hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized businesses, a sector Liveclicker hasn’t traditionally focused on – nor is it a sector we plan to focus on moving forward.
We realized that by teaming up with Marigold, we would be able to bring a version of our platform to tens of thousands of marketers that otherwise wouldn’t have access. In short, we saw a highly complementary business that will help us scale much more quickly while Liveclicker continues its push to bring its core offerings upmarket into larger enterprises.
What’s Next?
Liveclicker is more focused than ever on meeting the email personalization needs of sophisticated enterprise marketers. The product roadmap has been accelerated and investments in talent are already paying dividends for clients. We look forward to sharing many exciting product and service announcements in the months and years ahead.

Editor’s Note: This post was originally published on the Litmus blog.
If you utilize Litmus Builder to build and code your emails and use Liveclicker to power dynamic content in your campaigns, you’ll love Liveclicker’s newest Chrome extension—RealTime Email Content for Litmus Builder. The new extension integrates Litmus Builder with Liveclicker, making it easy to access and embed real-time content without toggling back and forth between tools.
We sat down with Jen Fahey, Director of Product Management at Liveclicker, to get the scoop on the brand new extension:
What’s RealTime Email Content for Litmus Builder?
It’s a Liveclicker integration, delivered as a Chrome extension, that provides email developers a fast and easy way to access powerful real-time content right from within Litmus Builder.
What’s your motivation behind building the extension?
We know a lot goes into building great emails, and we’ve built this integration to make life easier for email developers.
Before this extension existed, a developer would need to log into Liveclicker’s RealTime Email platform, find the campaign for which the real-time content embed tag was needed, copy it, and toggle back to Litmus Builder to add the code. While hardly arduous, it wasn’t the ideal workflow. With this new integration, developers can save time and more readily access the personalization capabilities that Liveclicker is known for—all from within the comfort of their favorite development environment.
How does the RealTime Email for Litmus Builder work?
The extension is integrated into Builder projects and snippets, so email developers can easily access Liveclicker embed codes while coding email templates.
Once the Extension is installed, new Liveclicker buttons within the Litmus Builder interface allow developers to retrieve a list of all live Liveclicker campaigns, so they can easily add the embed tags for those campaigns into the HTML. And if you’re using LiveData—that’s Liveclicker’s analytics feature—you can easily add that through the extension, too.
Check out the video above to see the extension in action.
How can you download the extension?
RealTime Email Content for Litmus Builder is available on the Chrome store. We’d love for you to give it a try and let us know what you think! If you have any questions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
