```
1. "Marketing leaders: Your team shouldn't need a data science degree to understand analytics."
   [93 characters]

2. "CMOs: What if your analytics actually told you what to DO—not just what happened?"
   [83 characters]

3. "Heads of E-commerce: How much time does your team spend on dashboards each week?"
   [81 characters]

4. "Growth leaders: Are you making decisions based on data—or gut feeling disguised as data?"

Quick question about your marketing analytics

**Body:**
Hi {{FirstName}},

I noticed you lead marketing at {{Company}}—and I wanted to share something that might be useful.

We work with marketing leaders at companies similar to yours, and we keep hearing the same challenge: teams spend hours on analytics but still struggle to know what's actually working.

So we built something different: Clarity uses AI to analyze marketing data and deliver insights in plain English. Not dashboards—actual recommendations like "Shift 20% of budget from paid to email based on this month's data."

500+ marketing teams use it. Average time savings: 8 hours/week.

Would it be helpful to see what insights Clarity finds in your data? We offer a free analytics audit—no commitment, just useful findings.

Either way, happy to share the report we just published on marketing analytics benchmarks. Let me know.

Best,
Sarah

**Subject Line:**
How Bloom Beauty saved 10 hrs/week on analytics
[47 characters]

**Body:**
Hi {{FirstName}},

Quick story I thought you'd appreciate:

Bloom Beauty's marketing team was spending 10+ hours weekly on analytics. Dashboards everywhere. Still making gut decisions.

Three months ago, they switched to Clarity—our AI-powered analytics platform. Now:

• Analytics time: 30 minutes/week
• Found $47K in missed revenue opportunities
• Increased repeat purchase rate by 34%

The difference? Clarity doesn't show charts. It tells them what to DO, in plain English.

"Like having a data scientist who speaks marketing." — Sarah Chen, CMO

Given your role at {{Company}}, I thought this might resonate.

Would a free analytics audit of your marketing data be useful? No pitch—just insights you can act on.

Happy to share more either way.

Best,
Marcus
