Choosing an agency to run global email campaigns
What to ask an agency before hiring them to run a global cold email campaign, and why deliverability and consent expertise matter more than creative copywriting alone.

Running paid ads in every market simultaneously spreads a limited budget too thin to learn anything useful. A more efficient approach uses early cold email response data to identify which markets already show interest, then tests ads there first.
Reading email response data as a market signal
- Reply rate and quality of replies by target market or region.
- Which product or service themes get the most engagement in each market.
- Any markets showing strong open rates but weak replies, which may need a different ad-supported approach.
What paid ads add to an email-led strategy
Retargeting website visitors who came from an email but did not convert, and branded search campaigns to capture recipients who search your company name, both reinforce the email program rather than compete with it for the same audience.
Cold email response data is a cheap, early signal for where paid ad spend is likely to actually work.
Budget allocation across markets
Start with a modest test budget in your top two or three responding markets before expanding — this avoids wasting spend in markets where the underlying offer has not yet proven any real traction.
The takeaway
Test paid ads first in the markets where your cold email is already getting some response — this signals product-market fit worth reinforcing with ad spend, rather than guessing blind.
