Email marketing has been predicted to be dead, dying or history often in the past few years, but still it refuses to abate. This lively session reviews why email marketing should still be at the heart of your overall marketing strategy and how this still ROI-rich channel can be harnessed alongside the likes of social media, automation and content marketing to make your organisation stand out. Case-study led, this session will leave you in no doubt about why email marketing is still key.
This is the slidedeck from Marketing Week Live 2014, London

Why don’t finance like us?
Why do other email marketers always send boring emails?
Why don’t we try to be different?
