Leveraging Experimentation in Optimizing Customer Experiences

Organizations often are poor at assessing the value of ideas. Acknowledging this is the first step towards building a culture of experimentation to validate and quantify the value of said ideas. Hear Bharath Krishnamachari, Head of Product Analytics & Experimentation at foodpanda, share about the joy and learnings from experiments, the tech investments that need to underpin it, and the approaches to nurturing a growth mindset that embraces it.

PRESENTATION
App Growth in a Privacy-First Era with Machine Learning

Advertisers and publishers alike have had to navigate the changes brought on by Apple’s ATT. These changes have brought about an environment where there is no consistency or certainty in the type of data that can be used for programmatic ad targeting. So what’s the best we can expect for ad performance in the post-IDFA world? This presentation by Yu-Sien Low, Moloco's Senior Director and Head of Business for SEA & AUNZ, you'll learn how to optimize your Machine Learning initiatives in the new Privacy-centric world.

FIRESIDE CHAT
Influencer Marketing Best Practices: Everything You Need to Know!

Influencer Marketing is still at an all time high when it comes to viable channels which are still bringing in a healthy ROI. Targeting is easier then some other channels, and with TikTok in particular being one of the most popular social networks (and probably the most popular in many of your target demographics), we’ll dive into best practices on how to succeed with Influencers. How to choose the best fits for your product, how to work with influencers, what to look out for, and how to maximize your ROI once the ads start working.

PANEL DISCUSSION
Full-Funnel Growth - Part 1:
Getting Users (UA Strategies)

The first linear step of a User becoming a long-term, revenue-generating customer is to have them discover your app, take interest in it, and download. Which ads are working these days to connect with the Users you want to bring in? What channels are ads performing the best from? How can you use Data to better understand your marketing and advertising efforts, and continuously adjust your UA Strategies to continue to produce at scale and over time? Our panel of UA app growth experts has you covered in this first of two full-funnel growth sessions!

SPECIAL INTERACTIVE SESSIONS
Full-Funnel Growth - Part 2:
Keeping Users (Product Engagement Strategies)

Picking up where Part 1 left off, now that we acquired a new User (or returning User), we need to help them to enjoy the experience of using your app. How can we optimize the onboarding process, since the first few moments after initial activation (or re-activation) are critical to converting a potential term into a long-term customer. Our panel of Product and Engagement App Growth Experts will discuss how to ensure your mobile app product provides value to your Users and you limit your churn as much as possible.

"It was a good experience meeting and sharing with fellow User Acquisition Managers who are having the same challenges as I am. Some speakers provided a lot of valuable information and other speakers were like role models. The highlight was making a network of service providers and fellow UA managers from around the world. The vibe was great, everyone was a good conversation. Looking forward to the next AGS!"
