Case Study: Better-Faster Academy achieves 91.96% open rates and deeper audience engagement with Kit

How this writing coach questions the premise for her email newsletters

Better-Faster Academy, founded by author and writing coach Becca Syme, helps writers build better systems for productivity and success. The team needed an email platform that aligned with its creative, individualized approach, so they switched to Kit and use it for welcoming subscribers, automated follow-ups, and weekly newsletters.

Using Kit, Better-Faster Academy built a curated “Dear Becca Letters” newsletter that shares long-form coaching advice and audience Q&A. The results have been strong: the newsletter averages a 91.96% open rate, often receives 100+ replies per issue, and the academy says 95% of course participants finish their programs.
