Navigating iOS and Privacy Changes: Email & SMS Marketing in a New Era - EP 24

Apple's latest privacy updates—Mail Privacy Protection (MPP), Link Tracking Protection, and ongoing iOS 18 changes—are making it harder than ever for eCommerce marketers to track email and SMS performance.

In this episode, we break down what these changes actually mean, share real-world brand insights, and lay out a step-by-step strategy for navigating this new era of retention marketing. If you've noticed inflated open rates, misattributed clicks, or challenges in SMS tracking, this one's for you.
