Happy New Year from the team at Thunderclap.
As we head into 2026, here’s a quick recap of what we shipped on beehiiv in 2025, a few guides you can use immediately, and a reminder that we’re available if you want to tighten up your site or build smarter newsletter systems.
Quick ask: If you know anyone in publishing, with or without an existing audience, that could maybe use our services – please forward them this email.
We’re not a big “agency” by any stretch. We don’t outsource our work. No junior handoffs, and no ad-driven growth. Word of mouth matters to us… big time. So, again, please pass this along!
If they become a client, we’ll be sure give you a referral cut as a thank you. Just have them mention your name when they reach out (or CC you on an intro).

Spotlight: Build of the Year
Without discrediting any other clients (you’re all great, truly), The Tequila Report takes the cake in regards to our build of the year because it was, by far, our most robust beehiiv build out to date.
Featuring just about every beehiiv feature you can imagine, The Tequila Report includes:
Everything the new v2 website builder offers
Paid subscription tiers
Landing pages
Display ads & sponsor slots
Authors & guest posts
Multiple content categories
Content gates
Various email templates
Automations & upsells
Integrations (Plausible, Airtable, Google, Typeform)
…and so much more.
When beehiiv says they’re an “all-in-one platform that brings together newsletters, websites, and every tool” etc… it’s not just marketing speak. Is it perfect? No. But it is pretty darn powerful these days and only getting better.
Check out what we’ve built over at The Tequila Report when you get the chance and congrats to Jay & Maddie on the successful launch.

How to Guides
In 2025, we began publishing some how-to guides around small little hacks or integrations we stand by. Here’s the latest (with more to come)…
New Offering (soon)
While we are always around to answer quick questions about beehiiv, sometimes you might need a little more.
After a build, most of our clients are left with a powerful platform that’s constantly evolving – new features, settings, workflows, subscriber data, etc. And even with our video tutorials, it’s easy for small changes to snowball into broken layouts, messy automations, or “why isn’t this working?” moments.
That’s why we are tinkering with the idea of offering a simple way to book time with us, anytime – help integrating software, review work in-progress, add new features, and support you or your team however we can.
The intent is simple: be on-call when you need an expert.
If this is something of interest – please reply to this email and let us know.
Let’s Catch Up
If you want to plan your next sprint – site refresh, segmentation, automations, custom templates, migrations, landing pages, RSS setups, analytics/UTMs, or deliverability – we’re happy to help.
Thanks again for trusting (or, considering) us with your publishing stack.
Wishing you a strong start to 2026.
Cheers,
Luke & Dillon @ Thunderclap
