Welcome to Only Influencers

The Leading Community for Email Industry Professionals
and Co-Producer of The Email Innovations Summit  

 If you’re serious about email marketing, you’re in the right place.

Peruse our Only Influencers (OI) blog, sign up to receive our free weekly email newsletter. And if you’re really serious about email marketing, we invite you to join Only Influencers. Membership is open to all email industry professionals, regardless of your level, area of speciality, or time in the industry. It’s just $20 a month or $200 a year; membership benefits include:

• Participation in the OI email discussion list, where industry professionals
  • debate key issues facing the industry,
  • converse about recent articles on email marketing topics, and
  • provide support and guidance to fellow members

• A standing invitation to join our weekly OI members-only live Zoom discussions, which include
  • no Powerpoints, no pitches
  • authors of two industry articles each week, leading discussions on their posts
  • the opportunity to network with other OI members

• Opportunities for in-real-life networking with your colleagues in the email world, at industry conferences and regional meetups in the US, Canada and abroad (once the COVID-19 pandemic makes it safe to do that again) 

•  Resources to help you improve the performance of your organization’s email marketing program and advance your career in the email marketing industry

Our community welcomes brand-side marketers as well as professoinals working for vendors, agencies and consultants in the email marketing industry. All members agree to abide by a professional code of conduct which prohibits direct solicitations to individual members as well as shaming of organizations or individuals on the discussion list and in our live discussions.

The Only Influencers community has been an indispensable resource for email marketing professionals since its founding by Bill McCloskey in 2010. With Bill’s retirement in 2019, The OI community and its annual Email Innovations Summits were purchased by Rising Media, co-producer of the Email Innovations Summits.

Rising Media has enlisted Jeanne Jennings, a long-time OI member and recognized thought-leader in the email marketing industry, to manage the OI community and program the Las Vegas Email Innovations Summit. Questions? Feel free to reach out to Jeanne at Jeanne@OnlyInfluencers.com or 202.365.0423.
