(There are 3 main individuals who use Litmus including myself; however, we do share our Litmus proofs with many others within the company.) We use Litmus to send over email proofs to other teams that we are collaborating on content with or we send proofs to regional leads who have to make sure the emails follow state protocols and we also send proofs amongst one another to proof check things.

I am the front-end email developer, so it is really just me either developing or creating reviews in Litmus. The other emails our organization sends are much simpler, and generally aren't QA'ed very thoroughly. So, for now its just me, though I intend on modernizing the other email functions in my organization.

As we look to expand our team, we will add more team members to the platform, but our entire marketing team currently uses the platform.

We have one designer who loads majority of Litmus proofs to the platform for review. Our email marketing manager and specialist are back ups to the designer, and also generate the tracking code and pull analytics reporting for disbursement. All other users of Litmus are reviewers of proofs. They use the platform to note any changes or adjustments to the email campaign in review.

We are the marketing agency side of the company that supports marketing efforts on behalf of our clients. Our team of four women uses Litmus countless times a day to build and test all email campaigns we send for the hundreds of clients we support. Litmus is a tool that is crucial to support our business model successfully.

There are several hundred associates, managers, and teams in general that leverage Litmus in my organization. This number includes teams across not just accounts or verticals but spans multiple service lines from Client Success, Platform Services, Email Development, Creative Strategy, QA/QC, CX, and Digital Messaging. While teams like mine have a greater familiarity with how to leverage Litmus as a solution, all teams listed benefit from the "highlight reel" capabilities of Litmus. Whether that is rolling out a new creative/dev tool for clients and testing functionality, or a creative agency providing code and QA/QC teams running through the render engines to test for rendering issues for poor end-user experience, if your team is working with email, Litmus does have a capability that could be used as an asset to increase efficiencies in the medium term once you have rolled Litmus into standard process.
