More than 18 months ago, GDPR was released into the EU statute books as a set of enforceable laws. Do you remember the ridiculous frenzy at the time?  It was as if the world was going to come to an end if we hadn’t emailed all of our customers to get them to re-opt in again! The level of panic has been compared to that of the 1999 fear-based epidemic Y2K where the world was going to end because computer systems could not handle the date change to 2000. While GDPR and Y2K evoke high anxiety, there is a major distinction:…

It’s no secret that events drive revenue (in a Harvard Business Review study of 739 executives, 52% of brands say events drive more ROI than any other Marketing channel).

There is broad consensus on two things. The first is that we’re still grappling with consent, specifically, what is meaningful consent in every single use case and how best to efficiently obtain and document it. The second area of agreement is that we’re still concerned about data transfer, and the best way to protect…

GDPR may still cause heart palpitations to the marketers who, at this time last year, were scrambling to make the deadline. One year later the question begs to be asked: did GDPR increase the data privacy standard that consumers were promised? According to the new consumer research by Mailjet, Europe’s leading email service provider, the answer is a resounding 'NO'. A major component of GDPR was giving control back to the consumers on how brands used their data. That being said, new research reveals that 40% of the…

A year ago, on 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law became enforceable. Across many industries, CISOs and senior management worried that the GDPR’s “least data necessary” collection requirements would greatly restrict, or even end, long-term working practices -- especially for marketers. So where are we today? Everywhere you look data protection has risen to the top of the agenda. Take a look at Facebook’s annual developer conference or Microsoft Build, and all you will see is the word privacy. …
