Slate Email Timeline
The timeline provided below is the general timeline DPAE Communications follows for email production.
Please note that DPAE Communications utilizes a master calendar to manage the timing of email sends so that audiences do not receive an overabundance of messages at the same time. Please note that a delay in receiving content, feedback and/or approval may delay the send date/time of an email.
