What can a Nike, Budweiser, and Intuit Ad Director tell you about your emails?

No dark-mode styles — this email renders the same in a dark client.

Find out on Ep.16 of Outfoxed, the Hunter GTM podcast

The latest episode of Outfoxed, Hunter.io's GTM podcast ( https://outfoxed.hunter.io/episodes?utm_campaign=2026-9+Outfoxed%3A+Episode+sixteen&utm_content=Jonathan+Del+Gatto%27s+launch+episode+email&utm_medium=email_action&utm_source=customer.io )

Hi Emre,

You wouldn't think it, but the best advice you'll get on sending a lead an email this week comes from an award-winning, Nike, Budweiser, and MTV Ad Director, Jonathan Del Gatto.

He recently sat down with Hunter.io's CEO, Matt Tharp, on Outfoxed to talk about the downside of the attention economy, his small-but-mighty list building technique, and why he's tired of your "if I could deliver 15 meetings this week" email.

For all this and our newest segment - cold email teardown - click below for the only GTM podcast you need to play today.

JONATHAN'S TAKE
***************

* Keep your lists smaller so you can qualify leads faster
* Know what's going on in your lead's world before you email
* Use review sites and Facebook Ad Library's for lead context
* Write plainly - just how you would speak on the phone

See how we would rate your email with our newest email teardown segment as Matt and Jonathan review and re-write four real outreach emails - LIVE.
