Overview
Diventures is a leading scuba retail and training company serving customers across multiple U.S. locations. Known for combining retail, education, travel, and community, Diventures operates at the intersection of specialty ecommerce and in-store experience.
Funnychord partnered with Diventures to enhance their customer engagement strategy across email marketing, in-store materials, and digital content. Our work focused on strengthening lifecycle communication, improving list organization, and supporting brand engagement across channels.
