the brand

OVR Performance builds advanced athletic testing equipment used by elite athletes, coaches, and performance programs. Their products measure metrics like jump height, bar speed, power output, and sprint performance — all tied into a connected app.

It’s a highly technical product in a passionate niche where credibility and clarity matter.

the challenge

  • Optimize email performance and take the entire channel off the founder’s plate
  • Scale email revenue without sacrificing deliverability
  • Improve list growth and engagement
  • Nail brand voice in a technical, opinionated niche
  • Build systems that run without oversight
the strategy
  • Take what already worked and execute it consistently at a higher level
  • Optimize and expand lifecycle flows
  • Improve list capture and segmentation
  • Increase campaign consistency and quality

client review

“They nailed our brand voice faster than I expected, and the designs lately have been next-level — I’m even using them on our social media. The team is responsive, proactive, and understands our niche better than most. Email now drives over 40% of our total revenue, and the best part is I don’t have to think about it anymore. I just know it’s handled.”
