PRESENTATION

The New App Growth Playbook:

Create Demand, Optimise the Journey, Scale What Works

App advertisers need a new playbook for sustainable growth. As competition intensifies and user journeys become more fragmented, the next stage of app growth will come from reaching incremental audiences, sharpening creative quality, strengthening measurement signals, and building learning systems that can separate meaningful growth from raw volume. Join Snapchat for a practical session on how app marketers can reach new users earlier in the journey, turn attention into action with app-native creative formats, and set up the signals, structure, and creative feedback loops that help campaigns scale toward business value. As AI accelerates creative production and raises the bar for optimisation across the industry, the advantage will go to teams with clearer inputs, stronger ideas, and a more disciplined approach to testing and learning.

Toni van Zütphen Snap Vertical Lead, Apps & Gaming, Snap

PRESENTATION

Apple Ads That Actually Scale

Most Apple Ads strategies focus on short-term optimization. But sustainable growth comes from something else: structure, data clarity, and disciplined execution. In this session, Viktor Orlov, CEO of Asapty, will break down the principles behind scalable Apple Ads performance. The talk covers campaign architecture, the role of SKAG structures, how to use real signals like Impression Share and IPM, and why most optimization approaches fail to scale. Instead of chasing “growth hacks,” this session shows how to build Apple Ads systems that deliver predictable growth over time.
