Origin Story

By Tom Evans

The Problem

Email marketing tools charged too much for basic functionality. Built EmailOctopus on top of Amazon SES to pass cost savings to users.

Building It

Founded in 2014 in London. Grew steadily by being one of the cheapest reliable email marketing options available.

What It Means

Email marketing doesn't need to be expensive. By leveraging Amazon SES, you can offer professional email tools at a fraction of the price.

The Dream

To make email marketing accessible to every business regardless of budget.
