Stensul is a multi-channel marketing creation platform that began focused on email and provides tools to help customers create campaigns more easily. This year it expanded beyond email with a no-code, drag-and-drop Landing Page builder, generative AI tools to speed content creation, and email localization for multi-language campaigns. CEO Noah Dinkin emphasizes email as a high-ROI channel benefiting from better data and personalization capabilities. The company reports growth among enterprise and mid-market segments and says it is on track for its largest quarter in the company’s history in Q4. Stensul plans to use new capital to increase investment in product development, including AI capabilities launched earlier this year, and to add go-to-market resources to accelerate enterprise adoption. Stensul builds software to streamline the process of creating marketing emails, aiming to reduce a task that can take weeks down to about two hours. The platform includes built-in brand guidelines, workflow for feedback and approval, and integrations such as Workfront to connect with work management. It positions itself as focused on email creation rather than delivery, arguing that large marketing clouds do not center on builders. The team recently grew to more than 100 employees, and the company says over half its staff are engineers dedicated to email creation. Customers include Capital One, ASICS Digital, Greenhouse, Samsung, AppDynamics, Kroger and Clover Health. Stensul raised $16M in a Series B to fund expansion of its marketing, product, engineering and sales teams. Stensul focuses exclusively on the email creation process, enabling marketers at large enterprises to build emails themselves in less than 20 minutes without coding or Photoshop. The platform enforces brand governance and rules and guarantees technically correct output. Stensul integrates with email service providers rather than competing with them, including Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Oracle Marketing Cloud, Adobe Marketing Cloud and Marketo. The company spun out of CEO Noah Dinkin’s previous company FanBridge. Customers include YouTube, Grubhub, BMW, Lyft and Box. With the new funding, Stensul plans to continue investing in product while growing sales and marketing.
