Email is Alive

Rising Stars in the Email Marketing Community

Just a few days ago I was honored to be listed in John Caldwell's list of 'Rising Stars' in the email marketing community. I have to say, coming from such a knowledgeable and seasoned veteran in the industry - it means a lot. I've worked hard to understand the value of email within the marketing efforts of a company: learning from mistakes, successes, others advice and a ton of testing. While this hasn't been a walk in the park, it has been thoroughly rewarding and receiving recognition for all those laborious hours of work is a great blessing.

This incredible list of Email-Geeks are wonderful people to interact with on a daily basis. I find myself chatting them up quite a bit on Twitter, it's great to hear about and share what we're all working on. I'm hoping that I'll get to meet all of them personally, face-to-face. Here are my fellow 'Rising Stars':

Luke Glasner, Glasner Consulting

Jennifer Harstad, Online Marketing Manager, Frederick’s of Hollywood

Frances Dugan, Email Marketing Analyst, Permanent General Companies

Scott Cohen, Marketing Copywriter, Western Governors University d

Remy Bergsma, Senior Email Marketing Specialist, Blinker

Chelsea Warfel, Email Marketing Manager, AutoAnything

Amy Garland, Marketing Manager, Blue Sky Factory

Kari Hiscox, Email Marketing Specialist, eHarmony.com

A congratulations goes out to all here on this list, I'm proud to say that I'm one of you. A big thanks to John Caldwell for letting me chat with him for hours about all things Geek and making me sound smarter than I really am.

Viva la Email!
