Phrasee’s phavorite marketing tweets of the month: July 2018
July was a crazy month here at Phrasee HQ.
Our Co-Founder and CEO Parry Malm got married, our North American office opened for business in San Francisco, and one of our awesome partners, Virgin Holidays, was shortlisted for Marketing Week’s Master’s awards in their email marketing category.
What a time to be alive!
Meanwhile, the mighty gears of the world’s email marketing machine ground on, largely indifferent to these seemingly momentous Phrasee events.
The result? Another batch of awesome email marketing tweets for the eyes and senses to feast upon.
Let’s see how we did this month…
We made Conan’s quotes our own…
What is best in life?
To crush your code, to see it render perfectly before you, and to hear the lamentations of the ESPs!— Anne Tomlin (@pompeii79) July 2, 2018
And learned another reason to open more emails (like we needed one!)…
Learned that some university admissions track applicant email opens/clicks as an indication of applicant quality. In other words, if you’re applying to a college, open all their emails and click all the links. 💻 👈 #emailgeeks #collegeadmissions pic.twitter.com/ASI5QCFYho

We watched another one bite the dust (Godspeed, dear Sharon!)…
Dear #emailgeeks, I’m taking a step back from the email world, still doing bits of freelance but concentrating on my other business @TheOfficeDogUK full time going forward.
I still plan to go to email drinks (If you’ll have me), so I’ll still see you around… pic.twitter.com/8doEDFEMLQ

We vented our frustrations…
Hmm. If you’re going to update your ESP platform to be campaign responsive etc etc it’s a shame that clients have to start again with thier building blocks. Of course I have all the time in the world apparently. #emailmarketing #snark

And celebrated the wonders of the digital age…

We paid it forward…
Helping people with their careers is so rewarding. Plenty of awesome people (looking at you, @michaeljbarber and @WomenOfEmail) have helped me, and I want to pay it forward. If you need help with things like negotiating your salary or learning to code, my DMs are always open!

And shared our best pro-tips…
You guys… it’s a good idea to interact with brands on Twitter. Sometimes they send you gift cards. #surprisedanddelighted

But most of all, we strove to share something awesome…
