Last year, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the App Store and Google Play. If you've been part of the app industry for all these years, you saw the sea of change in app marketing. We all remember the exponential growth of both stores, and the moment when they hit the ceiling. We witnessed the rise of freemium and subscription models, the introduction of app store optimization, and the burst on the scene of Pokémon Go, for Christ's sake. And then all of a sudden, it turned out that for all these years the industry had been missing one crucial component - the app user's privacy. So, it's been more than three years since Apple introduced its ATT framework, and, of course, GDPR fundamentally changed user data collection and digital advertising. Today, we have Nicoline to talk about what it takes to achieve app marketing success in the privacy-centric era. Today's Topics Include: Nicoline Strøm-Jensen's bio The biggest obstacles for app marketers in the privacy-first landscape Effective strategies for measuring and optimizing ad campaigns in today's privacy-focused environment Emerging strategies tools and strategies to stay competitive and compliant Android or iOS? Leaving her smartphone at home, what features would Nicoline miss most? What features she would like to see added to her smartphone? Links and Resources: Nicoline Strøm-Jensen on LinkedIn Adjust website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Nicoline Strøm-Jensen: "So, the first thing I want to point out is that I often use the term “signal loss” as a buzzword in this field when discussing privacy-first approaches. So signal loss is what makes and has been making marketers the most nervous because in practical terms, this references device identifiers and device identifiers were the key granularity of data that marketers prior to the push for new privacy focus was what they used to efficiently target their user segments with personalized ads and promos. But even as an aspect of that and higher level was just to understand where their marketing dollars were bringing in the best return." "And over the past three years, the industry has been working together. And this is something that I've talked about in different conferences or just with clients. That's one aspect that I have enjoyed. When I entered this industry, it was rather competitive and, you know, then we had this moment of, okay - we got to work together. We've got these different components and we're not going to be able to all see success without that collaboration. And so, going from that, the conversations that I have with clients are first and foremost, all right, I'm sorry, but we have to let go of the past."

My guest on this week's episode of the podcast is Kate Minogue, who previously served as Meta's Head of Marketing Science for EMEA and now serves as a fractional C-level executive for various companies. Kate published one of the first guest posts on Mobile Dev Memo in 2019: The LTV metric isn't dead. Here's why. The post was a rebuttal / response to my own contentiously titled post, It's time to retire the LTV metric. Among other topics, Kate and I discuss: The core of a capable marketing analytics function for an app developer -- the "minimum viable marketing analytics" organization; The key considerations that app developers should make in building "optimization moments" in their apps; How app marketers should think about channel diversity; How the most sophisticated app advertisers approach measurement; How app advertisers should think about about organic contribution to ROAS; What a "fractional CMO" is, and when a company might consider engaging a fractional CMO; The differences between fractional executives and consultants; How a fractional CMO's performance should be evaluated.

It's 2024 and we are all suppose to talk about Generative AI 24/7 but remember what was at the center of attention for so many app marketers before the ChatGPT arrival? Right - TikTok and marketing your apps on TikTok. Well, the platform, despite a number of looming threats for it to be banned, most notably in the US, is there and thriving. Today, I have Inna to share her best practices for doing app marketing on TikTok. Sponsor This episode is sponsored by Perform[cb], leading outcome-based marketing company.

Leaving her smartphone at home, what features would Inna miss most? What features she would like to see added to her smartphone? Links and Resources: Inna Sumovska on LinkedIn Hily website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Inna Sumovska: "So I would say, first of all, before I start to answer the question, you need to understand that there is still a difference between TikTok and other social media. Because Tiktok is not like a regular social media. You don't go to TikTok to check TikTok. You go to TikTok to have fun, to entertain, to educate yourself. So that's why TikTok, this is like the world leading entertainment platform for short videos. And this is all about the community. So that's why to be the part of this community is to collaborate with those guys, with the Creators." "From my point of view, there is still a difference when it comes to influencers and creators, because influencers they like influence and creators they create. So and this is actually a difference because when we began working with creators on TikTok, we wanted to adjust our experience of working with influencers on Instagram, and we were focusing on, for example, on those guys who have like some number of followers or something like this. But then we understood that TikTok it's like it's not really matter how many followers you have, since your content is entertaining. So that's why we were thinking maybe, like, the number of followers is not really important. Maybe we need to focus on those guys who can create something that our audience will pay their attention to."

But if your job is to promote mobile apps, I bet you've been following the fallout of its release by Apple this spring real close.

Quotes from Guido Crego: "Argentina is actually a pretty interesting place for tech, although the internal market is small, a lot of successful companies in Latin Americas are started from Argentina. The reality is when it comes to the split per operating system, it changes a lot depending on the region mostly because, as you may know, different markets and different countries in the world will have different penetration of operating systems. In places like Latin America they are really big on Android and iOS is not that big. The reality is we are all learning, advertisers are learning how to do it, DSPs are learning how to do it and MMPs are learning how to do it (work with SKADnetwork efficiently)" Follow the Business Of Apps podcast Linkedin | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube
