A little about us
Eminess partners with in-house marketing teams who need dependable execution during periods of change. For more than 20 years, we have supported teams operating in high-volume, high-stakes environments where accuracy, consistency, and timing matter.
Our work is focused on execution ownership in real-world conditions. That means understanding how work actually flows from design to deployment, where things commonly break down, and how to keep output steady when platforms are changing, work is being brought in-house, or timelines are compressed.
Teams often bring us in during platform migrations, staffing gaps, or other moments when internal resources are stretched. In those situations, small execution issues can create outsized risk. Our role is to step in quickly, take ownership of the details that matter, and help teams keep work moving forward without disruption.
Co-founders Matt and Nick bring complementary backgrounds in design, front-end delivery, and long-running execution systems. Together, they help organizations ship work reliably when quality and continuity are essential.
Matt Sterling
Matt has spent the past two decades working closely with in-house marketing teams, primarily within large retail and consumer-facing organizations. His work has consistently focused on hands-on execution in environments where volume, timing, and reliability are critical.
His background sits at the intersection of design and front-end build, which gives him a practical understanding of how creative decisions translate into real-world execution. Matt is typically brought in when teams need senior execution ownership during platform transitions, in-housing efforts, or periods of increased delivery pressure.
Earlier in his career, Matt worked in enterprise software sales, an experience that shaped how he approaches tools, systems, and organizational change. That perspective continues to inform how he partners with internal teams today, especially when evaluating tradeoffs and managing risk during transitions.
Nick Hartman
Nick’s background is rooted in execution systems and front-end delivery. For more than 20 years, he has focused on building and maintaining reliable email and front-end systems that need to perform under real-world conditions.
Much of Nick’s work has involved high-volume environments where consistency, QA, and repeatability are just as important as speed. He has worked closely with internal teams through platform changes, in-housing efforts, and long-running production cycles, often in situations where execution cannot afford to fail.
Nick brings a systems-oriented approach to execution. He focuses on how design, code, and tools work together day to day, helping teams reduce fragility, improve maintainability, and avoid unnecessary rework as systems evolve.
