The College of Natural Sciences and Math is an esteemed academic unit at the University of Denver located in Denver, Colorado.

In 2020, Nathan Willers started as the Director of Communications for the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Denver. He owns and operates the communication for this academic unit. His regular tasks include relaying information to students, faculty, and staff through email, along with managing their website.

Nathan has been in the business of sending marketing emails for over 15 years. When he joined, the university was using Regroup, a mass notification system for day-to-day alerts. The university trusts Regroup, as it’s popularly used by many universities in the U.S. for email marketing.

Nathan found that while Regroup was an easy-to-use sending platform, it didn’t provide the layouts and optimized design features he was looking for. “IT departments love [Regroup] it because it’s easy for them to manage their lists, but it’s hard to lay things out in the editor.”

Nathan wanted a tool that would allow him to build his own layouts, send mobile-friendly emails, and speed up his design process so he could get work done faster. He needed all of this in a builder that would generate an HTML output so that he could directly input it into the Regroup sending platform.

In his search, Nathan discovered BEE Pro. The intuitive builder provided him with the flexible email layouts he needed, along with other key features like mobile optimization, a long list of typeface selections, and a modern interface. It checked all of the boxes for Nathan’s requirements of an email builder.

The ultimate deciding factor was how the builder would work with Regroup. Nathan found that BEE Pro generated an HTML code that he could copy and paste into the sending platform. This meant that he could design more easily without adding extra steps to his existing workflow.

The tool provided everything that Nathan was looking for and stayed well below the department’s budget. In his words, “in the broad scheme of things, it's not too expensive and it was a tool we obviously needed.”

Flexible layouts

BEE Pro’s drag and drop builder allows for full design flexibility, including the ability to change fonts, colors, and other brand-identifying elements.
Customizable content blocks gave Nathan the freedom to build professional layouts to suit his unit’s brand. 

Responsive mobile design

BEE Pro’s Mobile Design Mode feature reassured Nathan that all his emails would render correctly on any device for students.
