How Spacebar Studios helped Point Wild scale from 1 newsletter to 4

As Point Wild acquired more media brands, they needed a partner who could run the newsletters at the level those brands deserved. That is where we stepped in, working as their in-house newsletter team. We handle it all, from strategy and content to audience growth and deliverability, and have scaled them from one newsletter to four.

Strong media brands, no internal team to run the newsletters.

Point Wild is a holding company that acquires and operates media publications. When they came to us they had credible brands but no internal team to run the newsletters at the level those brands deserved.

Comparitech's newsletter in particular was an asset being underused. Point Wild needed a partner who could own it end to end, from content and growth to deliverability, and run it like their own, without adding headcount.

We started with one publication. Within months we were the team behind four.

Four moves that turned one newsletter into a portfolio

Embed as the team
Ran Comparitech as a real extension of Point Wild, not a vendor at arm's length.
01
Build the foundation
Designed the beehiiv site and a template per publication, so every send is on-brand and repeatable.
02
Grow the audience
A growth engine per list: owned-media CTAs, newsletter swaps, paid sponsorships, targeted outbound.
03
Protect and scale
Never missed a send, kept lists healthy with re-engagement automation, grew one into four.
04

Four publications. Four outcomes.

Across the portfolio we acquire 2,000 to 3,000 new subscribers every month, per newsletter, and have never missed a send.

01
Comparitech
Flagship · since June 2025
Ad slots filled to capacity every edition, turning the newsletter into a profitable channel for the company.
02
Sixty & Me
Migrated Kit → beehiiv
60,000 subscribers at a 44% open rate and 6% click-through.
03
The Lineup
Launched from scratch · Sept 2025
From zero to 20,000 subscribers at a 41% open rate, monetized entirely through ads.
04
Planet Compliance
Deliverability turnaround
Cleaned the list and built a re-engagement flow, removing 20,000+ unengaged subscribers and lifting open and click-through rates.

We brought Spacebar in for Comparitech, and they quickly earned the rest of our portfolio. They operate like our in-house team, not an agency. Four newsletters, all growing, zero missed editions.
