Overview

A new kind of launch, explained to everyone

Editions is Shopify’s twice-yearly showcase of everything it has built in the previous six months: new products, services, and improvements, all released together.

I joined the Amplify stream for the very first Editions in June 2022. We designed an email and ad campaign to announce the new initiative to three different audiences: Shopify’s core merchants, developers, and partners.

What I did

  • Narrative strategy for the email campaign
  • Copy for emails and ads
  • Audience differentiation strategy
  • Design alignment

The work

One launch, three versions

Each audience got the same announcement, framed around what mattered to them. Click an email to see all of it.
