Fluid-Hybrid = Hybrid = Spongy = Fluid-to-Fixed.
Hybrid is most used term.
#EIS16 cc/ @KevinMandeville — Jason Rodriguez (@RodriguezCommaJ) May 18, 2016 btw lots of code bits for hybrid and responsive email are at https://t.co/tAkrKVj51Z #EIS16 — Elliot Ross (@iamelliot) May 18, 2016 btw all the templates you get in @taxiforemail are fluid/hybrid so check that out and take them to bits yo! https://t.co/tcYWe9kbAA #EIS16 — Elliot Ross (@iamelliot) May 18, 2016 "Can you give me some advice on when I can call bullshit on my engineering team? [re:
how long it takes to code]" Best question.
#EIS16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 Excited to be talking about Innovation in Email Design today with @meladorri @johnethies @M_J_Robbins #EIS16 pic.twitter.com/PYjfzaUNb1 — Elliot Ross (@iamelliot) May 18, 2016 You said it @meladorri - "Innovation isn't just about technology, it's a mindset".
Innovation must be adopted to make a diifference.
#EIS16 — Digital Additive (@DigitalAdditive) May 18, 2016 5 minutes to the Email Vendor Shootout - don't miss it.
Fast paced discussion from definitely not hungover email all stars #EIS16 — Simms Jenkins (@SimmsJenkins) May 18, 2016 Really like @iamelliot 's take on innovation in email being more about how we think about content, communication, and cadence.
#EIS16 — Jason Rodriguez (@RodriguezCommaJ) May 18, 2016 While we've been talking about bulletproof buttons, etc.
for a long time, there are still SO MANY PEOPLE that are clueless in email.
#EIS16 — Jason Rodriguez (@RodriguezCommaJ) May 18, 2016 it can look different but still be on brand though #EIS16 https://t.co/EVRpcQ1RfS — Elliot Ross (@iamelliot) May 18, 2016 There's a range of things we can do when innovating in email.
From the simple (animated GIFs) to the complex (Twitter feed emails).
#EIS16 — Jason Rodriguez (@RodriguezCommaJ) May 18, 2016 Innovation goes beyond a quick dollar.
It delights users, makes people love brands, and encourages them to seek out your campaigns.
#EIS16 — Jason Rodriguez (@RodriguezCommaJ) May 18, 2016 The sweet spot.

Sometimes the hat you're wearing doesn't fit well." @kathpay #EIS16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 Writing and speaking at conferences is way better/easier for getting leads than cold calling.
~ @jeajen #truth #EIS16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 Wish I had seen this panel before I started freelancing.
These ladies are incredible.
@e_Maven @kathpay @SyncMarketing @jeajen #EIS16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 My brain costs more than a latte.
I hate when people ask to "pick my brain." ~EIS16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 Parry Malm As email marketers, we're much more than opens and clicks.
We have the only channel guaranteeing 100% brand reach @ParryMalm #EIS16 — Samantha Iodice (@e_Maven) May 18, 2016 Pre headers have a huge impact, second only to Subject Lines.
Should follow SL logically in context, brand, and impact @ParryMalm #EIS16 — Samantha Iodice (@e_Maven) May 18, 2016 Best subject line and welcome email ever.
Well played @ParryMalm well played. You proved your point.
@phrasee #EIS16 pic.twitter.com/BfNBL5PQHT — Eric Lepetit (@ericlepetitsf) May 18, 2016 Subject lines create brand impressions, make sure your subject lines are making a great one.
@parrymalm #EIS16 pic.twitter.com/eLEtj2qa1d — Luke Glasner (@Lukes_Tweets) May 18, 2016 "A subject line is like a billboard for your brand.
Even if they don't open the email, they still see the subject line." ~ @ParryMalm #EIS16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 "Let's just lead by doing better email." ~ @ParryMalm // #EIS16 #preach — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 It's your brand.
Make it your subject line #EIS16 pic.twitter.com/IPeiS9CIcn — Nick Hc (@nickhajicosti) May 18, 2016 At every company I've worked at, brand voice trumps opens/clicks.
Clickbait sucks. We're better than this.
#EIS16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 The Millennials Do/Don't Use Email Millennials don't use email, they just make it their careers and speak at email conferences.
#eis16 — EmailSnarketing (@EmailSnarketing) May 18, 2016 #eis16 we should stop defining people as millennials and attributing behaviours to them.
it's incredibly dangerous for your strategy.
— Elliot Ross (@iamelliot) May 18, 2016 Mark Robbins is an Email Wizard His entire presentation on interactive email WAS AN EMAIL.
Major mic drop from @M_J_Robbins at #EIS16 .
