In this episode of E-coffee with Experts, our host Austin Willman sits down with Vladyslav Zhovtenko, CEO of RedTrack, to unpack what really happened to attribution after iOS 14, iOS 17, and the death of reliable pixels.
Vlad explains why most advertisers are unknowingly sending incomplete conversion data back to platforms like Meta, Google, and TikTok, and how that single gap is costing brands up to 30% in lost ROAS.
We dive deep into:
- Why dashboards alone no longer matter
- How Meta’s match score impacts campaign performance
- The real value of first-party data in paid media
- Why agencies struggle to prove value in multi-touch funnels
- How RedTrack restores the feedback loop between spend and revenue
- What founders and agencies must focus on heading into 2026
We also explore pricing strategy in SaaS, why RedTrack removed low-tier plans, how AI and GenSearch are reshaping content marketing, and why owning your data is the most important move agencies can make for the future.
If you run paid ads, manage clients, or lead a SaaS or ecommerce brand, this episode will change how you think about attribution, AI, and performance marketing.
