The Marketing Book Podcast

Brandon Redlinger, Director of Growth at Engagio, joins the Content Pros Podcast to share how they have found a winning strategy by embracing the classic content vehicle of email.

It’s Alive!

Content marketers have a wide variety of content delivery vehicles to choose from these days. With so many options, it’s easy to see why many are leaning towards retiring that old horse known as email.
But is email ready to be put out to pasture?
Brandon makes the case that email is very much alive and well. In many instances, email can be the “it” factor that helps you close a major deal.
But it takes more than transposing a blog post into an email for it to be a successful and revenue-generating campaign. Just like any other campaign, email requires a well thought out foundation of tiered personas that dictate how, when, and what content is delivered to their inboxes.
A properly incorporated email content distribution plan will set your business apart from the rest. By appreciating the power of email and embracing its still-vital place in marketing, you can guarantee a win for both sales and marketing.

In This Episode

  • Why a successful email campaign means keeping sales and marketing on the same page
  • How over-automation leads to a disconnect between brands and their customers
  • Why respecting tiered personas means cutting out the HTML messages beyond a certain level
  • How fewer links to content in emails leads to more engagement

Content Pros Lightning Round

What is your channel for sharing with the world? Where do you let loose? I do tend to, at least these days, share a lot of my thoughts on LinkedIn. Not as a published article, but as an update post.
If you were to compare yourself to a character on Silicon Valley, who is the most kindred spirit for you? I want to say Richard because I used to be that awkward guy in school that didn’t know a girl even liked him until it was too late and I was always on the smarter side of things. I wouldn’t call myself a genius in any way, but I do feel a bond with Richard.
