Sharing Innovation & Insight
ESco Connect was formed out of a desire to connect with our partners in a more practical way; sharing innovation and insight. ESco Connect will create more opportunity for us and our partners to look at the strategic direction we’re heading in and help us to prioritise our development and resources in the right place, where our partners need it most. It has also connected our clients together to share best practice and practical tips on how to grow their business and deal with the challenges that publishers face today.
The ESco Connect event is always a great way to connect with both B2C and B2B subscription practitioners, with thought provoking speakers and lively discussion at the Round Tables. I always leave with tips, ideas, insight and more - as well as having enjoyed a fun day.

September 2018 - Subscriptions Marketing & ESco Update
Friday 21st September saw our second ESco Connect event focused on Subscriptions Marketing where over 50 friends of ESco heard an inspiring talk from industry professional, Steve Price.
Steve talked to us about subscriptions marketing, the basics, top tips and thinking outside the box. We learned some incredible facts about “The Subscription Economy”, a phrase coined by Tien Tzuo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Zuora. The afternoon brought a whistle-stop tour of the developments that have been taking place at ESco HQ since our last event in March and three round table sessions hosted by industry experts.
March 2018 - GDPR & ESco Update
On Friday 9th March 2018, we had the pleasure of holding the first ESco Connect Event, our GDPR and ESco Update Day, where over fifty of our partners attended.
In the morning Simon from Opt-4 talk on the new GDPR laws introduced on the 25th May 2018 and the afternoon was a mixture of a general update from Team ESco, plus a chance to share ideas with each other during the round-table sessions.
A word about ESco Connect days. These workshops were introduced a few years ago have been very helpful to us. Besides being enjoyable networking events, the workshops have covered the right topics at the right time and the quality of the speakers has been excellent. For example, there was much uncertainty in the industry about the implications of the GDPR data laws when they were first introduced. The ESco Connect workshop expert speaker and the follow up discussion demystified the subject and helped us to understand what we should and what we could do. ESco really helped with our GDPR planning.
ESco are a great business with a great team. We have an excellent relationship with them. I highly recommend them.
