newsletter of the future
DESCRIPTION
There's got to be a better way than what we've all been doing for the last 10 years in email marketing. So much of our time spent in marketing & communications is still eaten up by redundant tasks and so little time is focused on rethinking how our newsletters can be modernized to fit into today's information-saturated world. Luckily, HighRoad has taken up this challenge and created the Newsletter of the Future that is so needed & brings so much pain relief that we've seen grown marketers cry. (It's true!) Join us to learn what's needed for the Newsletter of the Future and how your organization can revolutionize the way it's communicating through email to your constituents.
