Pathmatics is rolling out a series of enhancements, expansions, and updates to strengthen its platform and provide users with more advanced tools and insights for digital strategies. Key new capabilities include new datasets like the Mobile Apps Channel, which covers spend, impressions, and creatives across 15+ non-social mobile ad networks such as AdMob and AppLovin, and App Downloads with Top Personas integrated from Sensor Tower, requiring no additional subscriptions. Better chart capabilities are introduced, including an Aggregate Spend Chart for total ad spend over time, a Brands Time-Series Chart for budget shifts between brands, a Chart vs Table Toggle, Creative Trend Charts for top creative types and placements, and a Compare Granularity Selector for time series granularity.
Workflow improvements include three new creative filters (Language, Placement, and New), Category Comparison in the Compare tool, and Creative ID Access for saving and searching individual creatives. These updates reflect Pathmatics's commitment to expanding data sources, enhancing analytical capabilities, improving user experience, and covering more channels and ad networks. In 2025, the focus will be on channel and device parity in strategic countries and new markets, helping users navigate the evolving digital landscape with confidence.
First-party data, collected directly from users with consent, is crucial for marketers due to privacy regulations limiting third-party data. It enables accurate personalization, compliance, and cost savings. Key steps include ethical collection, maintaining clean data, and using it internally for product/marketing optimization and externally via commerce media networks.
Sports betting apps face high acquisition costs and ad saturation. Success requires unbiased attribution via MMP, cross-channel cohesion, and off-season engagement through personalization and gamification. Avoid ad fraud and optimize ATT opt-ins.
Brazil's 2025 sports betting regulation offers huge mobile opportunities. Companies must prioritize user-friendly apps, local insights, and security. An MMP is essential for accurate attribution, fraud prevention, and ROI optimization to succeed in this competitive market.
AppsFlyer MCP connects Claude directly to live attribution data, replacing manual reporting and CSV exports. Gaming teams catch budget anomalies overnight, finance teams compress multi-hour analysis into minutes, and e-commerce teams close the gap between measurement and spend decisions. Setup takes under 60 seconds, enabling real-time queries on channels, cohorts, and ROAS. The key insight is that AI-powered analysis requires live data connections, not stale exports.
Non-gaming apps can reduce CAC by advertising on gaming platforms, reaching 3.3 billion monthly players. Creative formats like playable and rewarded video ads boost conversions. Key challenges include identifying high-value users and allocating sufficient budget for algorithm optimization. Successful examples include Buddy AI and food delivery apps.
The open internet offers vast, incremental scale for app marketers beyond walled gardens, but its complexity requires supply path optimization (SPO). With non-exclusive inventory and multiple bid requests per impression, advanced machine learning is crucial to select optimal paths, price bids accurately, and serve effective creatives in milliseconds.
DTC brands face rising customer acquisition costs and competition in search and social. In-app advertising offers a high-engagement alternative, with users spending 5+ hours daily on apps. Key stats: 11.4% CTR in gaming apps, 3x more conversions than mobile web. Recommended for holiday scaling.
