ConvertKit StrawberryAutomate your newsletter admin with an AI agent
The sponsor report written the Monday after the send, the tag list audited, and the open-rate drop traced to the slice that explains it.
Writing is the job you like. Sponsor reporting, tag hygiene after every launch, checking which forms still convert, and working out why last month’s open rate dropped four points are the four you keep pushing to Sunday.
A companion does all four. It pulls the numbers for the sponsor’s three sends and writes the report into the doc you invoice from, audits every tag on a 40,000-subscriber list, opens each form’s page to see whether it still gets traffic, and slices the list until one slice explains the drop. You connect ConvertKit once and see exactly what it can reach before you allow it.
The sponsor report, written the Monday after
A sponsor bought placement in three sends.
They want delivery, opens, clicks on their link specifically, and some sense of who the audience was. They usually get a screenshot, three weeks late.
A companion pulls the numbers for those three sends, matches the clicks to the sponsor’s links, and writes the report into whatever document you invoice from. Renewals become a conversation rather than a negotiation.
What happens to your tags after a launch?
They breed.
Every launch adds “bought-course-v3”, “clicked-sales-page-may”, “waitlist-cohort-2”, and each is essential for six weeks and then permanent. After three launches the segment you want requires remembering which of five tags meant purchaser.
A read-only audit is the cheap first step: which tags have subscribers, which overlap almost entirely, which have not been applied in a year. Then the merges get proposed and you approve the batch.
Which forms are actually earning their place?
You have a form in the site header, one at the end of every post, one on a landing page from a 2024 collaboration, and a pop-up you have mixed feelings about. Subscriber counts per form exist. The missing half is which page each form sits on and whether that page still gets traffic.
A companion does both halves, because it can read the platform and then go and open the pages. Forms on pages nobody visits get retired; the one converting quietly on an old post gets promoted.
How do you find out why open rate dropped?
By testing the four candidates: deliverability, a subject-line pattern, a shift in send time, or a chunk of subscribers acquired from one source who never engaged.
A companion runs every slice and reports the one that explains the drop, with the evidence attached. Same loop as generate a weekly metrics digest, and the marketing playbook has the scheduled version.
What stays with the platform
Sending, deliverability, the visual editor and the sequences themselves are configured in Kit and a companion reads them rather than replacing them.
Broadcasts are the line to hold. A companion drafts one from your notes and your archive, and you press send to 40,000 people.
