How The Shpock Shopping App Weaned Itself From Demographic Data

When Shpock, a European shopping app, started using search behavior to inform its ad targeting this year rather than just relying on demo data, it began to realize what its users were actually interested in. “For many years, demographic targeting was one of the main options used by brands and agencies alike,” said Jon Hatfield,...

IronSource Has A Tool To Help Devs Determine Ad Revenue At The User Level

Without a way to calculate ad revenue per user, optimization is just an educated guessing game. “I wouldn’t call it a complete blind spot, but the process is definitely not as efficient as it could be,” said Jeff Gurian, VP of marketing and ad monetization at Kongregate, a mobile and PC game publisher acquired from...

Back when real-time auction app Tophatter was founded in 2012, it spent as much as 95% of its user acquisition budget on Facebook.
