Understand the landscapeWho is sending email newsletters on campus? How many?
How many email tools are in use?
Are there established standards, guidelines, or templates available to email publishers?
Do they use analytics tools to measure email effectiveness?
Are email tasks supported with adequate time and resources?
Do email publishers use editorial calendars or similar tools?

Email fromLouis C.K.
January 26, 2015
“Hello. So below are my messy thoughts about my new special “Louis CK live at the Comedy Store” available here https://louisck.net/purchase/live-at-the-comedy-store for 5
dollars, all over the world…
So this is my sixth hour-long standup special. The truth is, I
really love making these. I skipped doing one last year and I
missed it. This one is different from the recent others. For one
thing, it was shot in a nightclub instead of a theater. I love
doing the theater shows. When I was a kid, my favorite thing in the world was Richard Pryor’s concert films. The idea of being a comedian and doing a “concert” was a real goal for me. Performing in a theater expands your material and opens
you up as a performer. The pressure of playing to thousands
of people, I found, always makes you better. And every
concert hall I’ve played has made me feel like I’m getting a
whiff of that city or town’s history. The whole thing can be
very exhilarating. …”
