The Email Open Rate Conundrum Hubs & Drivers: A Podcast for Building Product Marketers

    • Marketing

Until recently, one of the best ways to measure an email marketing campaign's effectiveness was the open rate metric. Then, in late 2021, came Apple’s decision to introduce what it calls Mail Privacy Protection. It impacts anyone who opens their email on an Apple device. Given Apple’s prominence and the notion that many people open their email on their mobile device, this is a significant change that has made open rate a far less reliable campaign metric.

On this episode of Hubs & Drivers, Julia Saunders, digital strategist and account manager at BLD Marketing meets with host Jeff Donaldson to unpack these changes and their impact on your marketing efforts.
