    Today's episode is brought to you by Knak.

    Email (in my humble opinion) is the still the greatest marketing channel of all-time.

    It’s the only way you can truly “own” your audience.

    But when it comes to building the emails - if you’ve ever tried building an email in an enterprise marketing automation platform, you know how painful it can be. Templates are too rigid, editing code can break things and the whole process just takes forever. 


    That’s why we love Knak here at Exit Five. Knak a no-code email platform that makes it easy to create on-brand, high-performing emails - without the bottlenecks.

    • Frustrated by clunky email builders? You need Knak.
    • Tired of ‘hoping’ the email you sent looks good across all devices? Just test in Knak first.
    • Big team making it hard to collaborate and get approvals? Definitely Knak.

    And the best part? Everything takes a fraction of the time.

    See Knak in action at knak.com/exit-five. Or just let them know you heard about Knak on Exit Five.
