Apple PodcastsAs the Email Marketing Heroes, people can sometimes assume that we favour email marketing over a content marketing strategy. That's just not true!

In fact, we think that they can both work together in harmony to create the perfect blend of content marketing.

Listeners Question
I don’t do email marketing and I know I should, tech and lack of know-how puts me off. I’m afraid of making mistakes and wasting time, so what 3 tips do you have to help me overcome this and get started?
Pippa Akram – Social Pip
Rob: Most people over-complicate everything, so the first thing is to realise that email marketing can be (and should be) quite simple.
Kennedy: The second thing is that while you’re not doing any email marketing at all you don’t know what results you might get. The only results that matter are the ones that are important to your list.
Rob: Take the stuff that you’re already great at online and work out how to take those skills and content and apply it to email.
