Spec Work — Beverage / D2C

Liquid Death:
Auto-Extracted, Brand-True Email

We pointed our pipeline at liquiddeath.com with zero input. It scraped their colors, fonts, voice, and CTAs — then built a welcome email, render-tested it in 5 clients, and audited their deliverability. All in one command.

Spec Work: This is a speculative redesign created to demonstrate our capabilities. We are not affiliated with Liquid Death. The email was generated entirely by our pipeline from public website data — no brand brief, no creative direction, no human color-picking.

3 Key Improvements

Brand-First Color Extraction

Pipeline extracted 10 dominant colors and weighted by CSS frequency + saturation to find the real brand palette
Before

Generic blue/white email template with no brand identity

After

Auto-scraped gold (#8a6d35) and navy (#142b48) from liquiddeath.com, matching their can design

Liquid Death's signature is metallic gold on dark navy. Our extractor found these automatically from their CSS — no human color-picking required. The email feels like opening their product.

Voice-Matched Copy

CTA samples scraped directly from liquiddeath.com: SHOP NOW, JOIN THE CLUB, LEARN MORE
Before

Generic "Welcome to our newsletter" copy

After

"Murder your thirst. Death to plastic bottles." — all-caps CTAs matching their site tone

The pipeline scrapes actual CTA copy, headline patterns, and voice tone (edgy + casual). The email sounds like Liquid Death wrote it themselves.

Deliverability Audit Included

Domain audit checks MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM, TLS-RPT, MTA-STS — every pipeline run includes this
Before

Unknown DNS health — emails landing in spam

After

Grade A deliverability (90/100) with strict SPF, DMARC quarantine, DKIM-signed mail

Most agencies design pretty emails that never reach the inbox. We audit the domain's sending infrastructure before writing a single line of HTML.
