Creative organizations that stand out are those that have evolved from order takers to strategic partners. Interestingly, this shift in positioning and perception has just as much to do with efficiency as it does with creative chops. It’s one thing to come up with a smart idea. It’s another to implement it quickly and in a way that yields results. Among the levers often pulled to engage consumers and drive revenue is email. What’s curious is that the manner in which many companies generate email is patently inefficient. This webinar teaches you how to get the most from email marketing—further propelling you from provider to partner while enhancing the efficiency of your creative operations. |
