About the Email Marketing test

Email marketing plays a crucial role in building strong, lasting, meaningful, and profitable relationships between your brand and your current and prospective customers. More than a medium to delivery (sales) messages, email marketing is one of the most direct ways you can engage with your subscribers, deliver value, and build rapport with your audience.

This Email Marketing test assesses candidates' skills in email marketing basics and their skill in creating email marketing strategies based on business goals. It also evaluates their skills in implementing campaigns successfully and working with analytics to understand results and fine-tune their plans.

Candidates who perform well on this test have experience with managing email marketing campaigns and understand how and when to communicate with an audience. They can utilize A/B testing to improve results and analyze data to decide how to run campaigns. They also have a strong grasp of the role of branding in email marketing communications and understand how to utilize tone, graphics, colors, and other elements to keep your company communications on brand.
