How do you bid farewell to your subscribers after building a fan base who consistently posts your emails to social? Oh, and you’re not tasked with sending one or two goodbyes – your brief includes 19 (!) reminders. If you’re Jared Jones, formerly of Drizly, you lean into the humor of the situation and craft a sendoff that perfectly matches the absurdist voice your brand is loved for.
*About our guest*
