Robotics is a fascinating topic. It can be frustrating, too. When I started covering the space nearly 15 years ago, there was a sense that something big was looming, just over the horizon. But roboticists are a pragmatic bunch, offering projects for adoption more than a decade into the future.

I'd been working in email marketing for quite a while before I took on my first B2B campaign. Of course, I knew that B2B campaigns needed to be handled differently than my usual consumer outreach, and I thought I'd made the necessary tweaks. What I didn't realize is that minor tweaks to generalized email marketing tactics aren't enough to create a successful B2B campaign.

SAFEs! They’re apparently everywhere. And it is easy to understand why this perception persists.
