While you probably spend plenty of time writing, designing, coding, and analyzing the performance of your own newsletters, there’s something to be said about carefully curating a personal inbox experience. So, what marketing newsletters are you reading?

If you need some suggestions, we’ve got them.

This list includes marketing newsletters that are written for email geeks and by email geeks. We’ve also included a bunch of recommendations that fall outside the realm of email marketing.

Don’t see your favorite marketing newsletters on this list? We’re super-duper sorry about that. Please feel free to hit us up on social media and tell everyone what we missed.

Newsletters about email marketing

First, let’s check out a bunch of newsletters from brands that know email like the back of their hands. These eight options are primarily focused on email design and strategy. They include marketing newsletters from agencies, publishers, and email technology companies.

1. Really Good Emails newsletter

If you’re not already subscribed to the RGE newsletter, you're missing out. Really Good Emails is home to a massive collection of campaigns (10,000+) from all sorts of brands. It’s a treasure trove of ideas for email developers, designers, and marketing strategists.

Their newsletter hits inboxes twice a week. It includes some of the most-popular designs and trends in email marketing as well as a collection of curated articles from email brands, tech publications, and more. Plus, every edition starts and ends with a GIF - one to make you laugh and one to show you how to use them in emails.

2. Email Love newsletter

Email Love is another excellent website for email design and content inspiration. This collection of “beautifully crafted emails” is curated by Andy King, an email geek from New Zealand who’s been designing and coding emails for over 10 years.
The Email Love newsletter comes out every week and includes Andy’s favorite new additions to the site. By the way, you can submit your own designs and nominations for potential curation.

4. Holistic Insights newsletter

There must be something in the water over in the UK - because here’s another email marketing agency with a sweet newsletter.  Holistic is technically an email marketing consultancy lead by award-winning business and marketing author, Kath Pay.

Holistic Insights is a “fortnightly email newsletter” (Don’t Google it, Americans. That means every two weeks.) It features important news and industry articles on email marketing from around the web. You can also sign up to hear about Holistic’s webinars, events, and exclusive guides.

5. Only Influencers newsletter

This might sound like a newsletter for Instagram pseudo-celebrities, but it’s far from that. Run by Jeanne Jennings, Only Influencers is a members-only group for veterans of the email industry.

The good news is, you don’t have to be a member (or an influencer) to subscribe to this email newsletter. Many of the contributors to Only Influencers’ blog are founders and executives. So, if you like big picture ideas, this is for you.

You know her and love her as the host of Notes from the Dev, but what does Megan Boshuyzen really have to say? Find out when you subscribe to her semi-regular personal newsletter. This is Megan unleashed, uncensored, and unhinged. But she’s still really nice.

Megan’s newsletter is called “...It Depends” partly because when you’re looking for a solution to an email coding problem, the answer tends to be preceded by those two words.

12. The Open Rates Newsletter – Val Geisler

What sets a great email campaign apart from the rest of the pack? That’s what email marketer Val Geisler explores in her weekly marketing newsletter.

14. The Weekly Email Marketing Newsletter – Chase Dimond

First of all, you know you wish your name was Chase Dimond. It sounds like a superhero alter ego or a James Bond villain. But Chase is actually a self-described “email nerd.” Now, I don’t know if the email geeks and email nerds get along. However, I’m pretty sure they both hate email posers and don’t even get them started on the email jocks.

Chase is the co-founder of an email marketing agency called Boundless Labs. His newsletter hits your inbox every Monday. It includes advice for ecommerce marketing and campaigns that make money, which seems to be Chase’s specialty.

18. Total Annarchy – Ann Handley

Speaking of things everyone loves... the always amiable Ann Handley is pretty hard to hate. (But I guess I’ll keep trying.) She’s the founder of the popular website MarketingProfs, which also has a newsletter that includes advice for B2B email geeks.

But here, we’re recommending Ann’s personal newsletter. According to Ann, this is more of an actual letter than a newsletter. Every two weeks, she’ll let you know about what’s on her mind, what she finds interesting, and what kind of “high-spirited shenanigans” she’s up to.  Those kinds of shenanigans are far better than the low-spirited variety.

19. This Week in Content Marketing

Email and content marketing go together like chocolate and peanut butter (email gets to be the chocolate). In fact, Mailjet’s Inbox Insightst 2023 report found that Content distribution is the most important business objective for email.

Annual research and benchmarks from the Content Marketing Institute (CMI) backs that up for both B2B content strategy and B2C content marketing efforts. So, to stay on top of this tangential marketing practice, you can sign up for one of CMI’s marketing newsletters.

Every newsletter contains an eye-catching visual design, a quick marketing tip, and a recommended app or software. The somewhat irreverent branding and marketing agency Top Hat is behind this newsletter.

25. Kyle Akerman’s Measurment Newsletter

Of course, the hard numbers most marketers really care about are their own. But it’s not always easy to assess the true impact of email. Mailjet’s Inbox Insights 2023 report found that 44% of senders feel they are only somewhat able to accurately measure email’s impact and another 11.5% admit they can’t do it at all.
