Elevate your email marketing with our expert insights, tips, trends, and tools.

Litmus is the all-in-one marketing platform that empowers you to build, personalize, test, protect, review, and analyze emails more effectively than ever so you can get the most out of every send.

B2B marketing is its own beast, with its own distinct set of needs. In this session I’ll help you create a lifecycle marketing plan—with email marketing as the core channel— for B2B companies. I’ll cover the role and phases of demand gen, how to best leverage product marketing, understanding your tech stack and what data you have available to you, establish objectives and key results, and how to map it all out across your user lifecycle stages.

The No Bullshit B2B Lifecycle Plan

Email deliverability is a very complex matter that depends on many factors. Can it be simplified, though? Is there some pattern? Over the years, I tried to figure out the formula, simple enough so I could remember it myself. One day it came to me—it's a result of respect. The respect we express towards our own and others' resources, time, energy, and focus. In this session, we’ll explore a holistic deliverability model and its different factors, how each of those factors is interconnected, and how to improve deliverability by adopting a framework centered around respect.

Email Deliverability: A Result of Respect

We talk a lot about automation when it comes to email, but what about automating all the processes outside of what we send? In this session, I’ll show how automation outside the inbox can significantly streamline day-to-day email marketing tasks, leading to increased efficiency. I’ll also identify opportunities for automation and demonstrate how implementing the right tools can help email marketers save time, reduce errors, and improve campaign performance. Finally, I’ll give real-life examples of automation builds that can serve as inspiration for creating custom solutions tailored to specific email marketing needs and objectives.

Automating Outside the Inbox

What career paths possibilities are there in email? It's not always clear how you can take your skills in email and grow in your career. My personal story shares one example of an email dev/designer hybrid ending up as a senior engineering manager for design systems that span email, native apps, and the web, and we’ll explore the broader 
strategies I employed that can help anyone navigating this space. Attendees will learn how a passion for email can lead to a passion for people management, how email is not just a stepping stone but can remain a key area to future career roles that span multiple platforms and/or lines of business, and actionable strategies for carving out their own unique career path in email.

Carving Out Your Career Path in Email

In this session, you’ll learn how fostering collaboration between designers and developers helps to craft accessible, dark mode friendly, and engaging emails that will delight your subscribers.

you’ll learn how to address concerns your boss has, how to get others to prioritize your requests, as well as examine negotiation tactics and nonviolent communication training.

While many have embraced accessibility, many have yet to implement it into their emails. The question is, why? In this session, Paul will look to answer that question through the lens of Behavioural Science.

He’ll then walk through some more of the Behavioural Science principles, again applying them to aspects of accessibility implementation to help you understand how that resistance can be removed. The understanding and insights from this session will help you remove any resistance you might have, whether you’ve just started to implement accessibility, have been doing so for a while, or are looking to get stakeholder buy-in to get going!
