The GDPR is now in effect.
Tensions are running high, fear of the unknown abounds, and the less scrupulous members of the venerable email marketing community are running scared. But not those among us who understand that gaining positive opt-ins and offering seamless opt-outs has been standard email marketing best practice for years.
We’ve known all along that everything’s gonna be alright.
That’s why we’ve had so much time to spend on Twitter here at Phrasee, perusing awesome tweets from this amazing industry’s best and brightest.
Let’s see how we did this May…
