Jon Kabay
Email & Digital Marketing Expert
Driving campaign success through design, coding, strategy, and deliverability optimization.
About Me
A hybrid digital designer + developer pushing pixels 7 days a week.
I'm a marketing automation manager and email developer with extensive experience in HTML, CSS, and major ESPs including Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Cordial, and Acoustic.
I currently support 60+ university partners across multiple platforms with responsive, accessible email templates. My career started in design, then transitioned into the technical side of email — building campaigns, designing automation workflows, optimizing deliverability, and creating custom tools like countdown timers and dynamic content systems.
I'm also building SenderHive, a white-label email template management platform for marketing teams and agencies.
If you're trying to build smarter email programs that actually perform, let's talk.
