The session was thought-provoking and provided me with testing ideas to implement immediately.

Kate was a very well-spoken host with a lot of insight and knowledge. She used real world examples of what works and doesn’t work within an email and used statistics to back up those ideas.

Meredith ChristmanMarketing Manager, Cornerstone Advisors Asset Management, LLC

The first workshop was extremely informative, and I came out of the session with takeaways that I will implement into future email campaigns. I learned more about placing pre-header text and a CTA at the very beginning of the email, and I am interested to see how this performs for us.

Darin JitchakuCRM Manager, Prince Resorts Hawaii

I thought this workshop was really interesting and relative to what I was hoping to learn more about. I appreciate that it covered all aspects of data, how to gather, analyze and use it properly to make the most of it. Plus it covered how personalization is the way to go from now on. Very well done!
