AppsFlyer announced its second-ever “real” acquisition on Wednesday (its first was an acqui-hire in 2018) with the purchase of devtodev, an analytics provider for app and game developers.

AppsFlyer is building a marketplace so advertisers can share user-level data with third-party vendors without, well, actually sharing any user-level data with third-party vendors.

To make sense of changes to mobile campaign reporting, marketers need to understand postbacks ­– the most essential element of mobile attribution.

Chatting with clean rooms is becoming a trend. AppsFlyer launched a function within its data clean room that allows marketers to pose their business questions in natural language.

For Joe & The Juice, the best marketing blend Includes AI, as it learned by partnering with Pixis for mobile app install campaigns.

As AppsFlyer’s anti-fraud evangelist, it’s Naumann’s job to educate clients and the industry in general on the threat of ad fraud and on potential solutions.

Data clean rooms are to 2022 what customer data platforms were to 2019: Everyone’s talking about them, but people don’t necessarily know what they’re talking about. One reason for the uncertainty is that there are no standards that define exactly what a clean room is or how it should operate. “There are a lot of […]

Advertisers love a captive audience, and there are few audiences more captive than mass-transit riders. So it was perhaps inevitable that Intel-owned urban mobility app Moovit would launch an ad platform. Moovit’s advertising service is live for advertisers in Latin America, Italy and Israel, and the company plans to roll it out everywhere its app is used.

Although Apple held off on dropping any ad tech industry-shaking privacy news at its Worldwide Developers Conference last week, it did publish documentation about the next version of SKAdNetwork – we’re up to 4.0 now – which includes a handful of new features that developers and mobile measurement providers have been asking for.

Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency framework left the mobile ecosystem reeling – but the writing was on the wall, says AppsFlyer CEO Oren Kaniel on this week’s episode. ATT reminds him of when Apple pulled the plug on UDID and replaced it with the IDFA.

“Data-Driven Thinking” is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media.  Today’s column is written by Barak Witkowski, general manager at AppsFlyer. SKAdNetwork has been a hot topic following Apple’s recent privacy announcements, driving both hope and concern for advertisers about the future of their marketing strategy. […]

The more the merrier. App attribution company AppsFlyer has a late breaking addition to its $210 million investment round, which closed in January: Salesforce Ventures. Although Salesforce is only taking a small percentage of AppsFlyer as part of the round extension – less than 1% of the company, according to AppsFlyer CEO and co-founder Oren […]

Mobile ad networks have been busily stress testing SKAdNetwork in preparation for Apple’s IDFA changes – but they’ve been doing so with one arm tied behind their back. For months, two of the most crucial pieces of information necessary for attribution were absent in the postbacks coming from SKAdNetwork, which is Apple’s API for enabling ad […]

Gaming apps are getting better at beating install fraud. Just 3.8% of paid installs are fraudulent among gaming apps, according to research published by AppsFlyer on Tuesday, compared with 32% of non-organic installs for apps in other categories. Finance apps have the highest app install fraud rate at 48%, for example, followed by travel apps […]

Companies that rely on Apple’s proprietary ad ID are seeking solutions for a post-IDFA world. Although Apple didn’t actually kill it, the IDFA will become opt-in for consumers starting with iOS 14 in September. Without user permission, IDFA tracking will be zeroed out, just like when Limit Ad Tracking is enabled. Some are predicting opt-in […]

Affiliate marketing is one of the top sources of revenue for online travel and activities booking platform Klook, in good times and … not such good times. It’s been dark days for travel marketers during the health crisis. Delta, for example, recently told investors it expects revenue to decline 90% in the second quarter. But […]

First it was Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, then Facebook’s global marketing conference followed by F8 and the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

AppsFlyer said Tuesday it closed a $210 million Series D round, bringing the app measurement firm’s total funding to more than $293 million since 2014. The company had previously raised a $56 million Series C in 2017. The round, which brings AppsFlyer’s valuation to $1.6 billion, was led by General Atlantic with participation from existing […]

It seems crazy that a marketer at Match Group, which reported $295 million in dating-service revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016 alone, would spend half a day each week downloading and collating CSV files. But that’s just the way it’s been, said James Peng, head of mobile and social acquisition at Tinder and OKCupid […]

FuturePlay Games relies primarily on advertising to monetize. But it had a devil of a time attributing ad revenue to specific campaigns. “We knew that an ad had been watched on a device, but we didn’t know how much money we got back from it,” said Camilo Fitzgerald, a games analyst at the Helsinki-based game […]

Instagram has rounded up a posse of Facebook Marketing Partners since the closed beta launch of its ads API in early August.

In a small change that speaks to its huge cross-device aspirations, Facebook is ending its support for mobile app install reporting at the device level. On Wednesday, Facebook called up its mobile measurement partners (MMPs) – a group that includes companies such as Appsflyer, Apsalar and Kochava – and told them that as of August 20 […]

The merits of deep-linking are clear – considering the numbers on smartphone penetration, mobile needs direct links as much as, if not more than, the web – but deep-linking is not just a matter of embedding app links into the mobile experience and calling it a day. Not only do app developers have to consider the […]
