myth for most businesses. This will change as email is
integrated with other marketing channels

With many brands spending the past two years focusing on data and integrations,
I predict that the next several years will focus on taking
advantage of the single view of the customer.

Successful organizations will break down data silos and share data from across the

The convergence of marketing technology
with advertising technology is taking email marketing to
another level. Email platforms will need to be able to integrate with platforms that handle the anonymous marketing data.

In the next 5 years, email will be seen as not just a high-ROI

While still siloed in many organizations today, in 2020, email will not only be used in

By 2020, hyper-personalization in marketing will reach a
significant level, along with rules-based triggers,
assimilation of the mobile channel, and connecting data
from other channels and platforms.

Learning to drive loyalty with the use of contextual data clues—time, geo-location, weather,
events, behavior, etc.—is gold. By 2020, the ability to use these data points to inform campaigns
will become the status quo. Kristin NaragonDirector of Email SolutionsAdobe

We will see broader and more extensive use of data…influenced by the Millennials’ concept that
there is no expectation of privacy. Email has not taken advantage of
the data-rich environment that other digital marketing channels
enjoy.Ryan PhelanVice President of Marketing InsightsAdestra

We might not be far from achieving some of the 1-to-1 marketing that appeared in
Minority Report, but the impetus for change is going to come as

In order to deliver a one-to-one experience, customer data and

which content should be delivered to which customer, and when. Morgan Stewart
