Which design trends will be there for you?

How you doin', Email Geek?

When I describe the email community to other people, the first word that comes to mind is “curious” (and of course, the second is “ridiculously good-looking”). You don’t spend hours troubleshooting segment criteria, markup, automations, deliverability issues, or accessibility without being a curious person (or a lil’ masochistic, or both). I adore that about us.

At RGE, we love to see that same curiosity in the design trend data that we collect. Not just looking at what the trends are, but why they’re popular, what's effective, or say… which Friends characters they represent. All of which is what Meghan Sokolnicki (Principal Designer, Marigold) delved into for her Design Trends 2026 talk at this year’s Unspam conference.

Catch our recap of her talk and find out which design trend Phoebe is (Meghan had us guessing).

How to build a customer journey roadmap

A customer journey roadmap helps you see where people are getting stuck, what they actually need next, and how to stop treating every touchpoint like it lives on its own tiny marketing island. Here's how to build one.
