Key Insights That Helped Us Hire The Perfect Candidate

  • Email Marketing Specialists want to keep their skills sharp, so giving them autonomy and freedom to experiment with different clients or projects is necessary
  • There are many different elements that go into crafting the perfect email - these specialists cannot be perfect at technical setup, creatives and copywriting. Ensure you have strong creative teams to complement their strong technical skills
