Cross-Channel Marketing Playbook

In today's fragmented digital landscape, reaching customers on their preferred channels is no longer optional — 40% of customers say they will not do business with companies that fail to meet them where they are. This playbook breaks down the key marketing channels available to modern marketers, including email, SMS, push notifications, messaging apps, and social media, outlining the advantages, limitations, and best use cases for each. Email remains a cornerstone channel with an ROI of £38.33 for every pound spent and 4.3 billion users worldwide, while SMS is rapidly gaining ground with a 98% open rate and a click-through rate more than double that of email.
