Dela Quist: What the Clinton and Trump Campaigns Teach Us About Deliverability

It’s been just over a year since EEC 2015 and the panel on deliverability during which some of the largest inbox providers gave the audience some valuable insights into their definitions of engagement and how that relates to inbox placement.
