Configure settings
Choose your campaign settings to ensure it reaches the right audience with the right voice:
Select your audience: Choose which segment should receive your campaign. This helps Brew tailor the content appropriately.
Choose voice: Your default voice will be pre-selected, but you can change it for each campaign to ensure consistent, on-brand messaging.
Select image style: Choose the visual aesthetic for any AI-generated images, and toggle on Align image colors with design system (recommended).
Review and edit
Brew generates complete, ready-to-send campaigns, but the real power comes from editing with AI. Master these techniques to get exactly what you want.
Prompt guide: Mastering AI Editing
Use the chat interface on the left to make changes with natural language. Brew’s AI understands email design and marketing best practices, so you can describe what you want and it handles the implementation.
Brew enhances your edits with knowledge: When you request changes, Brew automatically searches your knowledge base to make edits more accurate and on-brand. This means requests like “add pricing information” or “include a customer success story” pull real details from your uploaded materials.
Additionally, Brew might search the web for relevant, up-to-date information related to your email content. Any valuable information discovered will be added to your knowledge base and incorporated into your campaign, ensuring your emails contain the most current and relevant content.
🎯 Target Your Edits with Selection
Select any part of your email to focus your AI edits on specific sections. This ensures changes happen exactly where you want them.
- Click to select a section → Then prompt: “Make this header more compelling”
- Select a button → Then ask: “Change this CTA to be more urgent”
- Highlight text → Then request: “Rewrite this paragraph to be shorter and more benefit-focused”
- Select an image → Then prompt: “Replace this with a customer testimonial photo”
Why targeting works better:
- Precise changes - AI knows exactly what element to modify
- Faster results - No guessing which section you mean
- Better context - AI understands the specific element’s role in your email
🔥 Pro Tip: Use Screenshots of Email Components
The most powerful technique: Upload images of email sections you want to recreate. This works extremely well for copying layouts, styles, and components from other successful emails.
- Screenshot a header design you love → “Recreate this header style for our email”
- Upload an image of a CTA section → “Make our CTA section look like this”
- Show a testimonial layout → “Apply this testimonial design to our email”
General Tips for Best Results
Be specific as possible - The AI can’t read your mind, so describe exactly what you want:
✅ Good: “Change the main CTA button to be larger, use our primary brand color (#c44925), and make the text say ‘Get Early Access’”
❌ Bad: “Make the button better”
Use email terminology - Mention specific email components by name:
- Header, hero section, CTA button, footer
- Above/below the fold, sidebar, testimonial block
- Subject line, preview text, unsubscribe link
Break down complex changes - Don’t ask for 10 changes at once. Make 2-3 changes, review, then continue.

Accessibility Prompts
Accessibility Prompts

- “Make sure links have meaningful text instead of ‘click here’”
- “Check the color contrast of this text against its background”
❌ Don’t: Compromise accessibility for aesthetics

- “Remove the alt text to make the code cleaner”
- “Just use ‘Learn More’ for all links”
Brew’s AI incorporates accessibility best practices to help you create emails aligned with standards like the European Accessibility Act, making your messages more inclusive.
Manual Editing for Precision
Use the right panel for pixel-perfect control when you need exact measurements, colors, or technical adjustments that require precision.
When to use manual editing:
- Fine-tuning exact spacing, borders, and corner radius
- Precise color adjustments with hex codes
- Technical elements like HTML attributes
- Small tweaks after AI has done the heavy lifting
Best workflow: Use AI for major changes and creative direction, then manual editing for precision tweaks. AI understands intent and context better, while manual editing gives you exact control.
Test and send
Before sending, preview your campaign on desktop and mobile, send test emails to yourself and team members, and verify all links and personalization work correctly.
Then schedule your campaign for a specific time or send immediately—Brew handles delivery and tracking automatically.
