Jennifer Nespola Lantz
VP of Industry Relations and Deliverability at Kickbox
Championing industry best practices while serving clients and solving both delivery and deliverability issues, I aim to be the bridge between marketer and receiver to facilitate successful inboxing and support campaign performance. I started in media planning and I tripped and fell into the email marketing world 15 years ago. Since then I’ve dabbled in many aspects of the email flow from creation to deployment and through to delivery to the inbox. My most fascinating and enjoyable topics have been around deliverability and the intricacies behind delivering mail successfully, which I’m so very fortunate to have as my focus these past 7 years.
