Phrasee’s phavorite marketing tweets of the month: May 2017
31 May 2017
Isn’t May lovely?
The sun is out (sometimes), flowers are in bloom, birds are chirping, and summer is right around the corner.
Here at Phrasee, we are now well into our third year of making awesome email subject lines and other marketing language using amazing AI technology.
We feel… refreshed.
And it seems we are not alone.
Across the email marketing community, positivity abounds.
Well, mostly positivity.
Luckily for those of us who charge our engines on the snark and sarcasm of others, email marketing’s Twitter community and its phantastic tweets once again did not disappoint.
Let’s see how we did this month…

We braced ourselves for a flood of “Star Wars Day” emails, and we weren’t disappointed…
Oh boy… the #maythe4th #emailmarketing is filling my inbox… or in this case, May the 14% off. #emailgeeks pic.twitter.com/uO066dqv0x

At least we always had schadenfreude…

Sometimes a tweet is so good that there just isn’t anything you can possibly add…

And other times when you could add something, but you probably shouldn’t…

But then, when your boss reminds you that you should be blogging about email subject lines, and you realise he’s right…
I’m so punk rock that I’ll sometimes send emails without anything in the subject line.
— RainnWilson (@rainnwilson) May 18, 2017
And while away a few hours scouring tweets containing the word “subject” and the word “line”…
If you put the whole body of the email in the subject line… who hurt you?
— Scott (@Scott________) May 15, 2017
Because the deeper you look, the better they get…
When you get an email with “REVOLUTIONARY IDEA” in the subject line, you can be pretty sure it won’t, in fact, contain a revolutionary idea.

And then, when you feel like you can’t take it anymore, you stumble upon “Big Data Batman”. And realise Big Data Batman is an awesome Twitter bot which scans the Twitterverse for tweets about big data, then replaces the words “big data” with “Batman”.

And you remember why you love Twitter so much and think to yourself “maybe I’ll hang on to that Twitter stock after all, because, you know… Big Data Batman…”
