What is Airship?
Airship empowers brands to maximize the value of their mobile app customers, who are demonstrably three times more valuable than non-app users. The company pioneered push notifications and in-app messaging, and has consistently innovated, enabling features like mobile wallet boarding passes and Apple's Live Activities. Most recently, Airship launched a no-code native app experience editor, allowing marketers and product managers to rapidly deploy app enhancements without developer dependency. Its comprehensive platform spans app store optimization for discovery, unified journey orchestration, and cross-channel campaign management, bridging in-app and out-of-app communications to foster acquisition, activation, engagement, and loyalty throughout the customer app lifecycle.
