Tim McLain

Everyone knows text messaging is the easiest way to reach someone—and quickly!—but did you know that there are several different messaging services available…or that they require three different types of connectivity? And what’s all this excitement about “RCS”? More importantly, what does all of that mean for your business?!

Watch Commio Marketing Director and Telecom Wise Guy Tim McLain talk about the future of messaging and messaging campaigns, and what kinds of exciting opportunities might lie in store for your company:

  • SMS, MMS, OTT, RCS, and iMessage—alphabet soup and a piece of fruit? What can each one deliver and what are the downsides?
  • Let’s get connected! Although they may look similar, different messaging systems have different requirements that can affect where, when, and how messages are received
  • What’s on the horizon, and what’s the hype about RCS in particular?

It’s hard to believe that a little more than 20 years ago commercial messaging campaigns weren’t even a thing. Don’t get left behind—watch now!
