Email is an essential tool for CRM but vastly under-used
for acquisition… Why?
12
Siloed marketing practice &
technology
• Email undervalued by last click wins. Over 50% of it’s value is not tracked.
• It’s impact across customer journey is misunderstood
• Email is perceived as ‘easy’ – the value of targeting and creativity is overlooked
leading to poor results.
• Lack of expertise in acquisition teams, usually managed by CRM teams
• Siloed org structures limited it’s integration across other channels

Digital disruption is creating
a marketing revolution
CRM & Advertising worlds collide

• Disruption of customer loyalty from new
competitors
• Marketing being driven by contextual
personalisation
• Customers still expect synchronicity and
relevance
Internet of Things is changing how we market to our
customers

• Re-organisation around customer experiences
• Sales attribution centralised
• Replacement of channel KPIs with omni-channel
success metrics

Programmatic & email: a meeting of minds
18
So how will email revolutionise
performance marketing…
19
Email becomes the driver of ‘demand creation’
1. Programmatic driven by lead generation profiling and prospect identification
2. Guaranteed driver of incremental sales
3. Nurture – lead generation creates a continuous dialogue with prospects throughout the buying process
4. Email delivers contextual personalisation and channel synchronisation
5. Once registered you no longer have to advertise
“One way to sell a
consumer something in
the future is to get their
attention in advance”
