My name is Tyson, and joining us today is Patrick McKenna, CEO at DMI Partners, which helps businesses create innovative digital marketing campaigns. Today, Patrick will be walking us through tactics that unify AI enhancements in email marketing and how How that intersects with search. Patrick, welcome to the podcast.
Thanks, Tyson. Good to be here.
No, I when I saw the kind of topics come through, it sparked my interest. Personally, I haven't had a ton of experience in email. So I thought this was a really interesting kind of angle. And I'm looking forward to kind of just learning a little bit more about email marketing and how that overlaps with, you know, what we're doing within SEO.
Yeah, I think it's it's gonna be a great conversation. You're not alone and not paying attention as much to email, but uh it's definitely, you know, an incredibly valuable resource that we're leveraging for our clients that drive a lot of value to them. So excited to dig into it here.
And maybe just to start things off, like help us kind of like set the stage for what is the state of email marketing today? Like how is it progressing? How has it changed from before? Like where where are we at?
Yeah, I mean, I founded DMI partners with some partners twenty two years ago and I would say that, you know, probably not right away, but within the first five ish years, people were predicting the downfall of email. And so we've been predicting that every year for the last you know, fifteen or so years. Um, but still it's continues to be a valuable resource for all of our clients that we're working with. And so it's one of like the core assets that a brand can build um and be able to engage with and be able to communicate directly with their customers. You know, for us it's like as strong as it's ever been and and really the advent of some, you know, AI back technology as well as development of platforms and, you know, really brands, you know, getting smarter and more robust with how they think about their data and and different engagement touch points and behavioral touch points just has really kind of enabled us to continue to lever up uh the channel to drive more and more beneficial engagement uh and revenue for for various products and services.
So
So we're not alone in SEO as far as like it feels like every few years there's the conversation of is SEO dead, is SEO dying? So it sounds like, you know, we're not alone in that and other kind of channels have similar conversations.
Exactly. Exactly. We can commiserate on that.
How is AI reshaping email subject lines and hyper‑personalization?
Yeah, I mean like I think, you know, we've been predicting the death of these channels for a for too long at this point and uh we continue to see the value um even as the ecosystem continues to evolve.
And how how is that evolution? 'Cause I assume similar to SEO, all the advances in LMs, generative AI, like I would assume that that's giving you a whole new breadth of tools and levers to pull when it comes to like email.
Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think two biggest areas I would say that AI is impacting email today that you know we're kind of leveraging is really on
