International Email Benchmark

For many organisations, email is the primary channel to communicate with consumers in a personal and relevant way. But email is also a field that is highly subject to change, partly due to technological developments, shifts in consumer behaviour and restrictions from legislators. To tackle this reality, the Dutch Association for data & marketing (DDMA) and the Global Data & Marketing Alliance (GDMA) joined forces with ESPs from across the world to create the very-first International Email Benchmark.

As we all know, front-running Email Service Providers (ESP) and advertisers that use email as their core channel operate internationally. That is why, in this ever-changing data and marketing industry, an Email Benchmark on an international level is needed now more than ever. The Benchmark helps strengthen the position of email as a channel and gives valuable practical insights in the form of an independent baseline measurement of the current state of the range within the field, against which organisations can measure their own email practises.

Three major trends

The GDMA International Email Benchmark delves into 3 major international email trends and hands-on recommendations for industry experts on how to respond to these trends:

• AI-driven content & creation is increasingly available – Do our creatives need to fear AI?
• Email is winning in the approaching privacy-first world
• The advent of AI & BIMI for improving email deliverability
