For the second year in a row, Experian Marketing Services was named one of the top email service providers (ESPs) in the market as profiled in The Relevancy Group’s 2015 report The Relevancy Ring — ESP Buyers Guide 2015. In the report, The Relevancy Group cites Experian Marketing Services as one of the first traditional ESPs to evolve to an “everychannel Service Provider”.
