2020 Might Just Be The Year Apps Finally Start To Embrace Real-Time Auctions

Ad networks are on the outs in the desktop world, but they still have a stranglehold on the mobile app ecosystem. That’s beginning to change, though.

With Facebook And Google Automating Most Aspects Of App Marketing, What’s Next For UA Managers?

Publisher-Centric Mediation Platform AdToApp Emerges From Stealth

Losman, who handles monetization for DigitalClick’s handful of apps,... Continue reading »
