Just because email is a digital marketing stalwart doesn’t mean it’s standing still. In fact, email in 2017 is finding its place as a foundational part of the growing martech ecosystem. And it’s gaining in utility and complexity through software innovations from players like Apple, with its iOS upgrades, and Google, with its changes to Gmail and Google Wallet.

But the Marketing Land audience knows that fundamentals are still of great importance, and this year they gobbled up content about growing your email marketing list (without resorting to shortcuts) sending an email blast without getting blacklisted and successfully crafting a cold outreach email. In addition, our columnists shared a variety of tips for upping your email marketing game, highlighting brands doing it right and explaining the impact of things like ALT tags, dynamic content, retina-optimized images and animated GIFs.
