Most agencies want to prove they can unlock more from their clients’ owned channels—without breaking anything or burning hours in the process.
That’s exactly why we designed a Wunderkind pilot to be low‑risk, high‑upside, and fully aligned to how agencies already work with their clients’ email service providers (ESPs), CDPs, SMS tools, and marketing clouds.
We keep it simple: plug in, power up, don’t start over.
Step 1: Align on the problem and the win
We start by getting crisp on the problem your client is actually feeling.
Usually, it sounds like this:
Most of their site traffic is anonymous. Their ESP can only “see” a small slice of visitors. Triggered messaging barely scratches the surface of abandonment intent. Personalization and lifecycle marketing are limited to the tiny fraction of people they’ve fully identified.
We both know the line: you can’t reach who you can’t see.
So together, we define a pilot goal that matters in your client’s language—something like “grow abandonment revenue by X%” or “drive incremental ecommerce revenue from identified visitors without changing the ESP.”
From there, we build the pilot around solving that exact problem.
Step 2: Plug into the existing stack your team already runs
We position Wunderkind first and foremost as a tech platform that makes it easy for agencies to plug into any of their clients’ martech stacks. That means no rip‑and‑replace, no “new ESP,” and no surprise workflow changes.
In practice, we:
- Install Wunderkind as the identity and onsite capture layer on your client’s properties.
- Use our large‑scale identity graph—covering billions of devices and profiles—to recognize far more of their traffic than standard forms and ESP cookies can.
- Pass those identity and behavior signals directly into the ESPs, CDPs, and SMS platforms you already love.
We like to say identity are the eyes that understand your audience and their actions and behaviors. Your ESP remains the set of hands actually sending email and SMS marketing. We just give those hands a lot more to work with.
Step 3: Pick “fast‑win” journeys, not a full rebuild
A pilot isn’t about reinventing your lifecycle marketing strategy; it’s about proving what happens when you feed it better inputs.
Together, we choose a handful of high‑intent customer journeys where performance and ecommerce revenue are clearly measurable—usually browse abandonment, cart abandonment, checkout abandonment, or high‑value product views.
Because we’re typically able to identify 3–6x, sometimes up to 8x, more visitors than your existing stack, all those flows suddenly scale in reach and revenue without you rebuilding them from scratch.
Identity helps find the revenue hidden in plain sight that your martech is missing. The pilot is where we make that visible.
Step 4: Decide how much “brain” you want us to be
Every agency has a different philosophy about orchestration. So we built Wunderkind to flex.
At a minimum, you can use us purely as an identity platform and tech offering: we capture and resolve more visitors, enrich profiles, and send those signals into your ESP or CDP. You keep all of the decisioning and rules inside the tools you already manage.
If you want more, our autonomous marketing platform is the brain that decides what each individual action should be for every consumer. We read real‑time onsite behavior—abandonment, sessions, product interest, price changes—and determine when to fire high‑intent triggered messaging across email and SMS, routing those sends through your client’s ESP.
You’re in control of how much of the “brain” you want Wunderkind to handle.
And yes, if you or your client want deeper help designing the pilot, shaping strategy, or running programs day‑to‑day, we absolutely can act as a hands‑on managed service. But we always start from a tech‑first, ESP‑agnostic posture.
Step 5: Run, measure, and turn the pilot into a proof point
Once live, we stay in the trenches with you:
We validate that identity and onsite capture are working as expected. We confirm that triggered messaging is flowing cleanly through your existing ESP and SMS platforms. We help you interpret the uplift in triggered volume, personalization, and ecommerce revenue versus the pre‑pilot baseline.
Because we’re integrated into your client’s existing tools, we don’t disrupt your day‑to‑day operations. Your team stays focused on strategy, creative, and lifecycle marketing; we quietly expand who you can see and how effectively you can reach them.
By the time you walk into the next QBR, you’re not just talking about incremental open rates. You’re showing how a simple pilot turned anonymous traffic into known customers, and unlocked a new revenue lever inside owned channels—with the stack your client already had.
If you’re an agency that wants a practical, low‑risk way to plug in and power up your clients’ email and SMS performance, we’d love to map out a pilot with you. Reach out and set up a meeting here.
