EF English Live are the world leader in international education. They combine language training with cultural exchange, academic achievement and educational travel to deliver courses and programs that transform dreams into international opportunities.
The international and multilingual elements of the company made their email campaign creation process challenging, as emails had to be written in specific languages for each demographic. The quantity of emails that needed to be sent was also a contributing factor to the company's need to advance their email capabilities.

No longer have to build campaigns using complicated html in their ESP
EF English Live had previously been building their email campaigns in their ESP, which was an inefficient method that required some html knowledge. Taxi for Email aimed to provide a product that would save time and integrate with EF Education First's ESP.
Taxi helped EF English Live achieve the objective of using an Email Design System, with modular HTML building blocks, to build multiple email campaigns from one set of HTML. This would save time when building email campaigns across an average of thirty different segmented versions. These emails would then be translated into 15+ different languages, from French, German and Spanish to Mandarin, Thai and Japanese.
Taxi for Email is a very user friendly system that allows us to create all the different types of email we need, from one Email Design System
