Brad Porteus, CMO, Elance:
“Whenever I have any questions at all about the world of email marketing, I go straight to Tamara. She combines email marketing subject matter knowledge and domain expertise with a very personable approach that involves active listening and actual problem solving. While she’s an email marketing guru, her view on marketing is in fact much more widespread. She is a creative problem solver who understands how business works.”
Jay Newman, CEO, Argentech, Inc:
“I cannot recommend Tamara highly enough. She’s very experienced and very practical. In no time flat it was clear we found someone to walk us right through the most efficient approaches for our needs. She gets the job done and makes it seem easy. And she’s as pleasant a human being as it can get. I’m still counting my blessings for having found her!”
Ted Wham, CEO, Database Marketing for the Internet:
“More than probably anyone I know Tamara has decided to become an expert. Her chosen area of focus has been email marketing and she has immersed herself fully in this vocation. She views, dissects, reads, explores, drinks, immerses, envelops, and generally surrounds herself in the intricacies of this professional discipline. And as a result she is one of the single most knowledgeable experts in this area. If you want someone who has done her homework, who knows more about email marketing than most people ever will, hire Tamara Gielen.”
Rolf Inge Holden, Marketing Manager, DHL Express:
“Tamara’s expertise has been crucial for our success forward in Email Marketing. With her knowledge and proven trackrecord she has helped us set the course for our strategy and implementation. Excellent!”
Christopher Byrne, CEO, Narragansett Technologies:

Stephanie Miller, VP, Strategic Services, Return Path Inc.:
“Tamara is one of the smartest and best known email marketing mavens in the business. Her blog is read all over the world – and widely quoted. Her insight and intelligence about email and how it fits into the larger digital marketing space is refreshingly unique and creative. I’m so glad she does all she does (speaking, writing, blogging) for the industry! She is also a wonderful person to work with – smart, fun, respectful and never takes the spotlight.”
Adriaan Walpot, Digital Advisor, Brandsation:
“Tamara brings a deep understanding of the e-mail marketing dynamics that brings her on par with some of the top experts in the field around the globe. Specifically, having worked with her at eBay, I was impressed by how she managed to share her knowledge throughout the organisation, globally as well as locally, and follow this up with the execution of the ideas and best practices up to achieving and measuring the results. Tamara combines the language of ROI in one penstroke with a care for addressing the customer concerns and needs, which ultimately leads to highly effective campaigns.”
Testimonials & Recommendations – Kath Pay
“Perspektiv has been voted the top regional Direct Marketing Agency by the Recommended Agency Register. (RAR). We need to be “ahead of the game” in all areas- and in particular Direct Marketing through Digital Channels. We invited Kath to produce a series of seminars for our staff over a three day period to educate them in the finer points of email marketing and the “do’s and don’ts”. Each part of our business was addressed by Kath, from Sales to Account Managers, Marketing to Web Design and Production. In three days we accumulated knowledge and expertise which would have taken us years to acquire had we not engaged Kath. She is truly an expert in her field, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to know more about communication through Digital Channels. She’s also charming and knows how to “hold a room”! We were very pleased with Kath and we are already reaping benefits from her advice.”
Alex Shaida, Econsultancy
“I worked closely with Kath on an email client project earlier this year and she was a real pleasure to work with. She is highly efficient, professional, hard working, a stickler for detail and great when dealing with clients and delivering results. Kath’s particular focus on this project was email marketing, and she really knows her stuff. As the Econsultancy project manager, I found myself learning a lot from her as we worked together in responding to the client’s global email marketing brief.”
Mark Brownlow, Email Marketing Reports
“I’ve worked with Kath in two capacities. First, writing occasional articles for email marketing publications where she’s effectively been my managing editor. Her planning and organisation always leave me in shocked awe. Second, as part of the wider email marketing “social” network. Kath’s a top source of email marketing know-how in her own right, but also does a great job of collating, sharing and communicating email information and bringing people together: a brilliant and rare combination of expert and enabler.”
Gianfranco Cuzziol, Head of eCRM, EHS 4D Digital
“I’ve known of and known Kath for a number of years now and have always been impressed by her understanding of the Email Industry. Her contribution to speaking, writing and consulting in the industry is enormous and she is someone I will refer to when I need some no nonsense advice.”
J-P De Clerck, Founder, Fusion Marketing Experience
“I have been in touch with Kath via social media for a while. Now we have connected to work together on some projects. From the first contact I understood that Kath is a hands-on, no-nonsense person that gets things done and is a great person to collaborate with, share common business passions and be friends with. I really appreciate Kath’s sense of community and collaboration and can recommend her very strongly. I consider myself lucky to have her in my “network”.
Ross Caddy, DMA
“Kath is one of the true industry leaders of email marketing in the UK. I have worked closely with her on a number of projects over the past three and a half years, she is always happy to provide expertise whilst being a pleasure to work with. She has been a real asset to the DMA Email Marketing Council. “
denise cox, Newsweaver
“I know Kath very well, as we both sit on the DMA UK’s Email Marketing Council. She chairs the Events and Communications Hub within the Council – and I work with her in that Hub. Kath has a deep knowledge and understanding of email marketing and is one of the go-to people in the industry. She’s also one of the most personable and connected people in the email space. Kath is a DYNAMO in the organisational end of things. Rest assured things will get done if Kath’s involved!”
Neil Pierson, Marketplace
“Kath’s knowledge about the world of email was a great assistance to my marketing efforts. What she had created was well ahead of its time, easier to use and dramatically more cost effective. She is passionate about the industry and it shows.”
