About EmailOctopus
EmailOctopus is a simple, intuitive and affordable email marketing platform trusted by global companies such as Jaguar Land Rover and local names like Outbreak Festival and Kendall Calling. We're a small, remote-first team making a big impact - helping our users send over 10 billion emails a year.
