DISCUSSION PANEL
How to Diversify the Media Mix and Improve Ad Performance

There is a lot of traffic on the internet, but not all of it is legit or relevant for the app you are trying to promote. And even if most of us rely on search and social as predominant sources to gain traction and visibility, it is crucial to run campaigns on different types of media sources to increase reach, scale, and minimise the risk of dependency. Our panel of experts will share best practices, learnings and tactics to connect your app with more users and explore the places where it is worth to look for new customers.

One Size Doesn't Fit All: Diversifying UX for Incremental Gains

Andy Carvell, Partner of Phiture, makes the case for diversifying many aspects of the user experience according to the acquisition source and other characteristics of the user. Incremental gains are there for the taking for publishers able to deliver tailored onboarding and pricing rather than taking a cookie-cutter lowest-common-denominator approach to product, growth and monetization.

DISCUSSION PANEL
The Privacy Shake Up...or Shake Down:
App Growth Experts Debate!

We hear many mobile app experts claiming Apple’s ATT is the APPocalype of Measurement and Targeting, the gloom and doom of the IDFA sky falling down upon us. With Google’s GAID deprecation just over the horizon, this shake-up is a new dawn for User privacy, and we’re going to have to find the ways we can make this work for us, instead of focusing on what we can’t control. Our lively panel of outspoken app growth experts will dive in and debate whether this change was truly championing user privacy, or was this merely an Art of War style play to shake down the industry and rake in more money for the App Stores?

You're Being Paid By Your Users, Treat Them Well!

Users are revenue drivers. They determine if we will be successful, or not, and they are the key for real growth. In this session, we will be talking about how can you leverage data to understand your users better, what is a good retention benchmark to aim for, why and how can we focus on our users, and also how to find the super users who will drive your LTVs and retention rates higher!

And we will also discuss why hummus is so important to understand the wisdom of the user retention.

Finding Value & Optimising Strategies for Sustainable Growth

The Paid UA Growth Strategies we all have been using are undergoing some pretty big changes.

Developing an Effective Post-Install Strategy for Sustainable App Growth

After our teams have worked so hard (and in many cases, spent so much) to acquire the right users, and bring in the most relevant users they could, now the growth work begins! The real relationship with your users only begins with discovery and install. Once a user activates the app, onboards and starts to engage with your app, this is where the most important work begins. What happens now will determine your ultimate success for the entire company. Let's learn from our expert panelists how they optimize their engagement and retention strategies for scalable app growth!
