Tackling Data Chaos!
How to Overcome Customer Data Headaches and Develop a Winning First-Party Data Strategy

The amount of customer data available to brands has absolutely exploded in the past decade, giving brands an opportunity to create personalized experiences. But with the introduction of privacy regulations, thousands of new marketing tools, new customer touchpoints, and more, this data can simply cause chaos. It's hard to measure and manage, but most importantly, blocks brands from delivering winning customer experiences. The fun stuff! Come to this session to learn how brands like Postmates, Spotify and Burger King solve data chaos.

FEATURE PRESENTATION
Churn Rate Analysis: Opportunity or Threat?

Churn is a word that haunts us all. Closely tied to retention at the early stages of user lifecycle, connected to something crucial in the game mechanic for experienced users - this metric is not an easy one to analyse.

How do you properly track churn? Is there any point in benchmarking it? When is an increase in churn rate normal, and when is it a cause for concern? What tools can you use to effectively analyse churn? All these questions will be answered in Anna’s presentation. And yes, she will say the word “churn” many times during it.

Creative Data & Why It Matters to Your App Marketing Strategy

In a world where UA is increasingly automated, creatives have become one of the last levers marketers can use to gain an edge today. With the advent of interactive and playable ads, the possibilities for creating rich user experiences - and optimizing the ad funnel itself - exploded, but so too did the challenges. Marketers today run scores of unique creatives daily, and tracking for potential heroes (or losers) is incredibly time consuming... not to mention the challenges around creative testing. In this session, we'll go over how to set up your creative strategy for success, and how to utilize creative and in-ad analytics to ensure that you're maximizing your creative strategy to drive incremental app growth.
