Say 'I Do' to a Holiday Email Planning Process Kara Trivunovic | Email Marketing | | | Over Labor Day weekend, my brother-in-law got married. Despite the fact that he had what is considered a "small" Serbian Orthodox wedding (a mere 350 guests), I think I put more effort into his wedding than I did my own, when I had nearly 1,000 attendees. Why? First, my husband, all three of our kids, and I were in the wedding; that's a management feat in and of itself.

Derek Harding | Email Marketing Optimization | | | 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.

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... | NASA Launches Instagram Account, Robotic Research Mission The profile was up to 32,000 followers by the end of its first day, which coincided with the launch of the lunar explorer LADEE.
