Audience segmentation is never static. But if your app caters to a community of tech-savvy users and Gen Z users, then it’s not enough to evolve messaging.

Let’s face it. IDFA deprecation will have devastating consequences for marketers. They will no longer be able to attribute post-install activity, including revenue, directly to a campaign or publisher app. And that means marketers will be in the dark and unable to evaluate important metrics, including retention, DAUs, LTV and ROAS at the campaign or publisher app levels. Or will they? Not if they harness a “top-down” solution that algorithmically attributes post-install activity to campaigns. In episode #403, our host Peggy Anne Salz talks with Brian Krebs, CEO at MetricWorks, a rising company focused on helping mobile marketers with measurement, LTV prediction, and user acquisition automation. Brian – who has spent the last eight years building disruptive solutions for growth teams that leverage automation, machine learning, and data science –shares his focus on delivering a new future-proof mobile measurement solution for the post-IDFA era.

It’s no secret that COVID-19 has disrupted business as usual across the physical world and the digital realm.

App market intelligence reports show personal finance apps, our “go-to” app category to manage our daily lives, are poised for massive growth, chalking up more than a 1 trillion sessions globally in 2019 alone.
