Marketing Experts
Brilliant People to Follow and Learn from
My views are the culmination of a thousand conversations I’ve had over the past decade with hundreds of marketers, consultants, and other folks inside and outside the email marketing industry.
Throughout my book, I include quotes from colleagues, fellow authors, and other marketing experts whom I respect. And in the Acknowledgments of my book, I tip my hat to some of the people that have influenced me most.
