Stats show that Newsletters are 40x more effective at acquiring customers than social media. That’s a big number! More and more professionals are turning to daily newsletters over traditional media sites for their news consumption, valuing the convenience, personalization, and curated content delivered directly to their inboxes.

BUT senior finance professionals receive on average 20 – 30 marketing emails a day. With so much content vying for attention, how do you ensure your brand is the one that sticks in the minds of these decision-makers? To make sure your brand is top of mind, consistent visibility and engagement are key.
