Email · the brand's own voice
An email program written to sound like the brand, every send.
Davin & Adley makes modern pumping and nursing bras — a considered, emotional purchase where trust does most of the selling. In a city where brand voice changes from one neighborhood to the next, that's the part the inbox has to get right.
We wrote, designed and ran their email across 2023–24: launches, restocks, holiday editions and care guides, all on a template system that made every send look like Davin & Adley and nothing else.

Selling from Boston
A city that moves in every September, and runs every April.
Boston's calendar is set by students and a race, and its metro crosses into New Hampshire. Sources beside each one.
September is a move-in
Each year the City of Boston gears up for a September move-in period, working with colleges and universities as students return to neighborhoods across the city.

The metro crosses into New Hampshire
The Census Bureau's Boston metro counts Rockingham and Strafford counties in New Hampshire alongside Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex and Plymouth in Massachusetts.
Start here
Get the store built — or get the one you have selling better.
A build is one project: the design and theme, your catalog, the move off whatever you’re on now, and a launch somebody watches. From $10,000 one-time, and you own every bit of it.
Already on Shopify? Shopify Growth keeps the store improving month to month, from $2,250/mo. Ads, email, search and testing go on top when they’ll pay for themselves.
Questions, Boston edition.
Are you actually in Boston?
We're a remote agency, so there's no office to visit anywhere — ours or anyone else's. Our people are spread across the US and we run on video calls, which is how we'd work with you either way. Our home base is outside Philadelphia, about five hours down I-95 — so if being in the room for a kickoff matters, it's a drive rather than a flight.
We're a university-adjacent brand with seasonal demand. Can you work with that?
Yes, and Boston makes it sharper than most places. When your year has a September spike and a summer trough, the calendar matters more than the average — so email and inventory planning get built around the shape of the year rather than a flat monthly plan.
Our customers are price-sensitive students. Does that change the build?
It changes the merchandising more than the build. Around Boston we'd expect the entry price point to do a lot of work, and the job becomes making the cheapest thing you sell easy to find and easy to buy — which is the opposite of how most stores are merchandised.
Is the September move-in really a sales moment?
For the right store, it can be. When the city moves in together every September, a lot of people are furnishing a new room in the same fortnight — so a home, kitchen or storage brand wants its email and ads loaded in late August, not reacting in the second week of September.
We make running or athletic gear. How should we plan around the Marathon?
Work back from race day, which is April 19, 2027. Stock, a race-week landing page and the email that goes with it should be ready by the start of April, because anyone flying in for it is shopping before they pack, not on the morning of the race.
A lot of our customers are over the line in New Hampshire. Is that a separate market?
Not according to the Census Bureau, whose Boston metro takes in Rockingham and Strafford counties. Set ads and delivery zones around the metro rather than the state, or a Massachusetts-only campaign quietly skips people who drive into Boston every day.
Where we work
Boston, Cambridge and everything inside 128.
Greater Boston is small enough to drive across and dense enough that the neighborhoods really do behave differently, which shows up more in brand voice than in anything technical.
We’re a remote agency with a home base in Norristown, Pennsylvania — the team is spread across the country, with a good chunk of it on the west coast. Everything runs on video calls, so you get the same people and the same hours whether you’re downtown or an hour out of it.
