The beauty of email marketing lies in its versatility. It’s a tool that serves countless purposes across every industry, and no two marketing emails will have the same look, intent, or result. That’s why we love making connections with marketing professionals and learning about the email marketing practices they’ve found most effective -- each of them has some slightly different wisdom to share.
So in the spirit of sharing wisdom, here’s a roundup of twelve email marketing influencers who impressed us already this year! Along with their bios, we’ve linked you to some recent writing of theirs that you should add to your email marketing reading list. We think you’ll be just as impressed with them as we are!
