Ep 19: Why Ian Gibbs says mail earns attention that lasts

Not every impression is equal. So, what makes mail different from a digital impression?


In this episode of Mail Unleashed, JICMAIL’s Director of Data Leadership, Ian Gibbs, joins Rory Sutherland to discuss why mail demands attention that lasts longer, gets revisited, and works harder to drive consumer action and results.


Together, they discuss:

  • The 200 different ways that marketers measure campaign effectiveness
  • Ian’s work with JICMAIL and the DMA
  • Why mail delivers both short- and long-term marketing impact
  • How mail plays to a different attention span than digital marketing

Plus, they explore why physical mail keeps working long after the first glance.
