Switch between agency and direct versions of Campaign Monitor

There are two versions of Campaign Monitor: agency, and direct. While the majority of Campaign Monitor's features are available to both, there are distinct differences between the two. If you find you need the features of one interface over the other, it's possible to switch between the two.

Differences between versions

Agency accounts:

  • Are suited to creative agencies, resellers, and organizations that need separate sub-accounts for multiple departments or teams.
  • Have multiple sub-accounts, called clients, which can be treated as white-label customers. Users can be added to only have access to specific clients.
  • Can be rebranded.
  • Can mark up prices for clients.
  • Can send for clients, or alternatively, set clients up to send for themselves.

Direct accounts:

  • Are suited to small businesses or individuals who are sending for themselves.
  • Do not have clients, and so have a simpler interface.
