About

I’m Linards. I build email end to end: the shell, the components, the tests, the send.

Ten years at Merkle, Ometria and MRM-McCann, shipping campaigns for Audi, Volkswagen Group, SKODA, SEAT, O2, Virgin Media and SkyShowtime to audiences of up to three million. I built the design systems in Taxi that non-technical marketers could assemble on-brand and could not break.

Since then

In June 2026, after ten years, Dentsu made my role redundant. I had already spent a year building with AI, because agents had changed what one person could do.

Since January I have designed, built and shipped five production systems solo. One is email-hub, nine agents behind a ten-point core QA gate.

Off the clock

Music production and long countryside walks with family and the dog.
