We don’t deploy our clients’ email – but that doesn’t mean we don’t want their campaigns to be successful.
Our ads don’t cause deliverability issues.
Putting ads in your email is a natural thing.
Everyone who sends email is including ads - whether they call it that or not…programmatically or content.
We use CNAMEs to wrap links - makes links look like a first-party link.

BRIAN
When / Where / What / How they engage with your brand across a variety of channels
How integrated your brand is in their daily life – are they socially active, how often are they on your site, do they have your app, are they part of your loyalty program
Plus, all the data points associated with the above
Purchase Data – Items they purchased, where they purchased (online / in store), Lifetime Value, etc.
All of these pieces allow you to segment and create relevant, personalized experiences that encourage engagement and conversions
DAVE – Email address connects you to everything. It is unique to the individual, so can be used as a proxy for building a singular customer profile, as well as an addressable ID by which to leverage that data – both in first and third party media ie – banner ads and email marketing.

Personalization is no longer a “nice to have” it’s an expected “must have”
Recent Consumer Views states that over 50%(?) consumers expect brands to provide personalized marketing
So, as a marketer, we have to leverage all of the explicit and implicit data available to us to bring the personalized content to subscribers when and where they are most likely to engage or convert
This means segmenting accordingly – quick and easy approach Purchasers and Non Purchasers. Or, if that’s not your conversion metric, Engaged versus Un-engaged
After segmenting, develop the content for the appropriate segments
DIANA

DIANA - To describe manual re-engagement and next steps (automation)
BRIAN - Using data to trigger re-engagement emails with relevant content and offers to inactive subscribers.
When things are no longer resonating with subscribers or the emotionally check-out, a really well-crafted re-engagement email can add life back into the relationship
Subscribers opt out, or numb out, for a number of reasons, like frequency, etc. but, According to consumer views--- X% of subscribers un-engage due to content not being relevant to them
So, a good way to turn this around is through an uber-personalized and creative email – starting with a strong subject line, and re-enforced with personalized content that secures the click
A lot of marketers implement re-engagement, or winback campaigns, as a last ditch effort, BUT savvy marketers who segment on engagement find other critical points in the lifecycle to catch subscribers as they enter an “at-risk” stage.
