Accredible, the world's leading digital credentialing platform, today announced at Innovations in Testing 2024 (Booth #226) significant enhancements to Accredible Email Marketing with the launch of its Email Campaigns functionality. With the industry-first release, training and education leaders can take control of their credential marketing by creating tailored, automated email campaigns that engage learners and increase credential sharing—helping generate brand awareness and program referrals.
As more credential issuers adopt digital credentials to meet market demands for easily shareable and verifiable proof of skills and competencies, leading programs are looking to increase learner engagement beyond credential issuance. With Accredible's Email Campaigns, issuers can use learner engagement data to easily create triggered messages like credential-sharing reminders, re-enrollment incentives, or renewal notices to drive online credential sharing and amplify their brand reach. Program teams can also use Accredible's advanced analytics to track, visualize, and optimize real-time campaign performance.
"Credential issuers now realize the power of digital credentials in opening up new organic acquisition channels but have been limited in control of credential issuance emails, audience segmentation, and ability to measure campaign performance effectively," said Rochelle Ramirez, SVP of Product at Accredible. "With today's release, issuers now have complete control to define the purpose, timing, and content of their credential email campaigns that engage learners and ultimately drive credential sharing and program referrals."
The combination of advanced audience targeting and triggering events allows program leaders to deliver messages that resonate with learners at every stage of their journey to increase engagement and program growth. For example, issuers could create an email trigger that sends a follow-up to recipients who haven't opened their credential email a week after initial delivery. Or they can use learner engagement data to create triggers for reminder emails to recipients who have opened their credential emails but haven't shared them with their LinkedIn network.
"Increasing credential open, download, and share rates among our learners is a top priority for us, but sending one-off emails and manually reminding people is extremely time-consuming," stated Tom Mastro, Director of Strategic Initiatives and Planning at George Washington University. "Accredible's Email Campaigns has eliminated that pain point entirely, and we're excited to see how it impacts our learners and program over time."
The Email Campaigns functionality builds on program optimization efforts the Accredible Professional Services team has executed with numerous credential issuers over the past year. By implementing targeted learner engagement campaigns, Accredible customers drove significant improvement in learner engagement, program referrals, and revenue, including:
Accredible Email Campaigns is immediately available on Connect and Growth plans. For more insights and a demo video of the functionality, read Rochelle's blog here.

Blis, the integrated ad planning, buying and measurement platform, launched its new study revealing that nearly 75 million Americans are unaware that, by sharing their email or phone number, they are also consenting to be anonymously identified by advertisers. Additionally, 38% of consumers who are aware of it still find it invasive.
Publishers and platforms that use emails or phone numbers as advertising signals, such as The TradeDesk's Unified ID, may face consumer backlash. More pragmatically for advertisers, these solutions don't do what marketers are hoping for. A previous Blis study revealed that half of mobile audiences and almost half of desktop audiences are already unreachable across the open internet. And now, according to the new findings, advertisers choosing to use Unified ID solutions in the hope of regaining access to that missing portion of the audience may actually be still missing them or, even more concerningly, continuing to make consumers feel that advertising is invasive.
The study also shows that a significant part of consumers still need help understanding the value exchange of advertising. Almost a third (28%) of consumers either don't understand or are unsure why advertising is crucial to keeping the Internet free. However, 84% of media agencies assume the opposite, showing a disconnect between what media planners think consumers know and what they genuinely do.
The research shows that while Google began phasing out support for third-party cookies in Chrome, over half (61%) of marketers and media planners haven't yet tested the Chrome Privacy Sandbox. Of the 39% of respondents that have tested it, 56% work in media agencies, and 44% are brand marketers. As the latest IAB Tech Lab report pointed out, Privacy Sandbox presents numerous problems, such as supporting certain use cases such as lookalike modeling, frequency capping, and interoperability.
"As we've been saying for years, finding cookieless solutions that truly allow advertisers to reach their audiences accurately is not an easy task", said Aaron McKee, CTO at Blis. "However, most of the solutions out there just partially support advertisers in reaching the audience, which is already unreachable since third-party cookies started to be removed from the open internet. The crucial point to remember is that brands must find a good balance between their chosen solutions to ensure consumers don't feel uncomfortable with ads. After all, their privacy concerns are exactly what brought the industry to where we are."
Blis commissioned an independent study from Sapio Research among a representative group of 2000 consumers and 200 media agencies and brands across the US.
