Confessions of an Email Provocateur with Dela Quist

Why impressions — not clicks — reveal email’s real power, and who’s quietly profiting from your inbox. Email is still treated like a messaging channel, and that mistake is quietly destroying value. In this episode, Jacqueline sits down with Dela to challenge the default rules of email marketing and reframe the inbox as what it actually is: owned media and intent infrastructure. Nearly every sacred KPI is put on trial, including opens, clicks, suppression, and frequency caps, and replaced with a media-first lens focused on reach, impressions, and long-term behavior. Dela breaks down why email only feels “free” because you are the product, how Gmail captures behavioral data at a massive scale, and why unopened and even archived emails still drive search, site visits, and revenue weeks later. The takeaway is blunt. Brands overpay for paid media while underusing the cheapest, most measurable audience they already own.
