Jessica Best, Director of Data-Driven Marketing at Barkley

Returning in 2018 as both a workshop speaker and breakout session speaker.

DAY 2

Breakout Session – Balancing Relevance vs. Privacy: The State of Data in Email Marketing in 2018

Watch Jessica’s session:

Marketers have made a case for more data for the past 5+ years, closing in on perfectly personalized content and journey-led marketing automation like emails that are unique for every single prospect or customer. In 2018, especially in the wake of Cambridge Analytica’s use of data in the US election and GDPR in the EU, suddenly marketers are faced with the question: What is our customer willing to trade in privacy for this extreme relevance in content, advertising, and product?

In this session, Jess will dive into the latest trends in data usage in email marketing – a one-to-one channel where we can use it the most in our content marketing. Plus, she’ll open a dialogue about how much data to collect in a world where relevance has become table stakes… but our consumers are crying for privacy.

What you’ll learn:

Trends in using data to determine email marketing content and timing
The latest data in determining the impact of email and content marketing: traffic attribution via mobile devices
The potential impact of how invasive or creepy each of these things can be when misused
The rules of GDPR and how they might impact U.S.

What you’ll learn:

How to optimize your email marketing lists and content for guaranteed improvements to your ROI
How to grow your subscribers list to grow your revenue
Common mistakes we (still) see savvy email marketers make
