Regardless of what role you play in the big dance we call marketing, inspiration is always right around the corner.

And the same can most assuredly be said about those who work in the creative space of marketing. The designers. The writers. And so on.

The solution? A combination of responsive design, engaging animation, and dynamic, location-based detection, allowing XFINITY to better serve each new customer all the information they need— and nothing they don’t.

So when it came time to launch the new Hawaiian Airlines promotional email modular template, Creative Studio armed the team with a thorough Usage Guide for the entire system—providing a vital road- map for the journey ahead.
