Kristin\u2019s Litmus Live session will answer the question: Why did email choose us? Uncover the ways email found us, and how to use your unique strengths to advance your career in email. Plus, learn how to be great at some of the non-email parts of your job.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s find out more about Kristin\u2026<\/p>\n

How did you end up in email marketing?<\/h2>\n

I was a copywriter at a life insurance company in 2008, writing riveting brochures about \u201cthese turbulent economic times.\u201d My company wanted us to send emails on behalf of our sales reps, and so we decided to use the email company that happened to have an office in our building\u2026 ExactTarget.<\/p>\n

I quickly realized I liked email even more than copywriting. I moved to NYC a few years later and got a community manager\/writing job, but the guy sitting across from me needed help with something in ExactTarget, and I was able to help him. My job quickly became managing email there. From then on, I only worked in email.<\/p>\n

What do you love most about it?<\/h2>\n

I love the community around email! Everyone is so willing to help each other and share information. We have such a weird line of work that\u2019s constantly changing, and it\u2019s so nice to know we\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s challenging about email?<\/h2>\n

We have such a weird line of work that\u2019s constantly changing.<\/p>\n

I recently switched jobs after being in my previous one for more than 6 years. While I was very good at a very specific niche that I did (managing a large enterprise Salesforce Marketing Cloud account for a large nonprofit), I quickly found out that I had fallen behind in the other areas of email that hadn\u2019t been my focus.<\/p>\n

I love learning new things and finding new challenges, so I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

What can people look forward to in your Litmus Live session?<\/h2>\n

We all know that we don\u2019t choose email, email chooses us. My session is going to dig into WHY email chose us, using research from a survey of email geeks. You can look forward to learning about why people who are 37 this year are particularly primed to be email marketers, and how your love of theatre makes you a great email marketer.<\/p>\n

What are you<\/i> looking forward to most at Litmus Live?<\/h2>\n

Everything! The sessions look awesome. Since the format\u2019s a little different this year with sessions pre-recorded, as a speaker, I\u2019ll actually get to watch the sessions instead of hyperventilating in preparation for my own session.<\/p>\n

How do you think email marketing will change in the coming years?<\/h2>\n

I think we actually might see a shift to less personalized email content\u2014not because we think that\u2019s a good strategy (I don\u2019t!), but because people are becoming more aware of data security with changes like iOS 15.<\/p>\n

I think we\u2019ll see other related channels, like SMS and even direct mail, working together with email even more. For a long time, we\u2019ve seen email as the top converting channel, but others are starting to catch up. I think it\u2019ll be interesting to see how marketers use them all together to create the personalized experiences we\u2019ve been doing with email.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite email joke or pun?<\/h2>\n

At a job about 10 years ago, a co-worker and I were doing a presentation about email analytics, and she put \u201cEmail marketing — More than a blast!\u201d on one of the slides, and I never forgot it. I love it.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n \t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
