My career has been a series of phases. Early in my career I was all about direct marketing and eLearning.

Imagine taking thousands of hours of offline content and trying to port to self paced courseware.

This week, Only Influencer’s partner LiveIntent outlines how you can survive the ad block apocalypse without having to resort to cannibalism. (Unless that’s your thing. No judgement.)

Email is central to many companies, so transitioning to a new email service provider (ESP) is a large project that will touch many departments at the company. This is Part II of a guide of how to change ESPs, from beginning to end, from the perspective of a brand-side marketer who was heavily involved in managing one ESP change and lightly involved in another.
Someone just asked me which companies I think are leading the way with multi-channel communications at present. Which I think is an interesting question and quite difficult to answer without being subjective. It also begs the question what constitutes good multi-channel communication?
