How do you see email fitting into the marketing mix in 2025?
As multichannel marketing becomes more prominent, I expect an increasing focus on personalization. Brands will use all channels, including email, to gather subscriber information that is voluntarily provided.
Journeys will be made for the explicit purpose of gathering data through games and other fun email-based activities. That data will then be used to send hyper-personalized emails that continue the dialogue between the brand and the subscriber.
