Size and Specialization?

emailcampaign I must start this column with a disclaimer. As the CEO of an Omnicom agency I cannot comment on and am not commenting on the Omnicom-Publicis merger. I also have no insider knowledge of the merger, just a perspective on the history of email in big advertising agencies. Innovyx has been owned by Omnicom for 13 years now. Over that time much has changed in the email world and also in the advertising and marketing worlds as a whole. So it was with great interest that I read Simms Jenkins'...

holiday-email You know what doesn't make the stressful holiday season any better? People yelling. Even worse is when they are yelling in your direction. The good news is that year after year, the screams typically originate from the same sources, so there's no need to be caught off guard as long as you think ahead. Marketers spend the majority of the year prepping their best and brightest campaigns for the holiday season, so it only makes sense to anticipate not only what could go wrong, but also...

email-psychological-hierarchy The relationship between the email marketer and the email subscriber is an unspoken alliance, and also a source of constant tension and potential. The email marketer owes her job, database, and likely revenue to the subscriber who provides permission in exchange for (hopefully) special offers, content, and respect and relevancy. The email marketer often loses sight of this invaluable permission during the march to some interdepartmental meeting or shared goal. Too often the email...


Tips on Getting Into the Gmail Primary Inbox

gmail-tabs I absolutely love the new Gmail inbox! Twenty-five percent of my messages are a result of me being a member of social networks (Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook), 60 percent are promotional, and 15 percent are personal and extremely relevant. Plus, I am not even counting messages that show up in my spam folder. Gmail has placed my messages into three folders - Primary, Social, and Promotions. This is an ideal way for me to sort through all the messages that I get and I can easily...


4 Easy Questions: Understanding Engagement to Survive and Thrive in Email and Beyond

emailcampaign A colleague of mine shared a great article about employee engagement based on a recent Gallup study of 1.4 million employees across 192 companies, and I couldn't help but be struck by the similarity between "checked out" employees and inactive email subscribers. The article cited research showing that 70 percent of U.S. workers are mentally disengaged, and I immediately thought of the vast number of email marketers we see with files that are primarily populated with subscribers who...
