Good morning, Marketers, and humanitarian efforts are underway.<\/p>\n

Yes, people are still talking about personalization, attribution and an integrated marketing technology stack, but for the present a different topic is dominating conversations in the marketing and marketing operations communities. What can be done to help Ukraine?<\/p>\n

Here are some initiatives I came across and there are doubtless many more. Omnichannel comms company MessageBird (owner of email platform SparkPost), launched a $10 million NGO fund<\/a> to provide a platform to help coordinate humanitarian efforts from the global technology community. Netherlands-based, MessageBird has a hub and employees in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Sales enablement platform Outreach has announced it will no longer do business with Russian-based companies. CEO Manny Medina said<\/a>: \u201cWhile this is a small action, it is a principled one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grammarly, the online writing assistant, was founded in Ukraine. CEO Brad Hoover said<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege of getting to know its vibrant culture and kind people over the past decade \u2014 that includes many of our resilient, unstoppable team members who are yet again facing stress and uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wix team members from Lithuania drove to the Poland-Ukraine border<\/a>, and along with Polish team members helped bring their Ukraine-based colleagues to safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n
