Communication is digital. Almost all interactions businesses have with customers, colleagues and partners comes via digital channels. Email might sound old hat, but only because it is now so finely engrained into every aspect of our communications ecosystem that it barely warrants mentioning. We don't talk about emails because emails are the conversation. As of 2024, more than 33 per cent of marketers still employ emails, with 87 per cent planning to maintain or increase their investment in the channel in 2025.
Email is also the preferred communication channel for billions of employees, and HubSpot predicts that email usage among colleagues will continue to grow by at least 2.4pc annually for the next few years. That's not to mention the 4.2 billion people worldwide who use email every day - more than half the world's population - to share ideas, engage with brands, sign contracts, and organise their lives.
