Vua Nem, a top mattress retailer in Vietnam, partnered with Meta to test a creative diversification strategy. By mixing vertical creator-led videos with static images in a single ad set, they achieved a 31% lower cost per lead, 74% lower cost per message, and 335% more conversations. This approach prevented ad fatigue and improved engagement signals.
Additionally, they used Messenger Marketing Messages with audience segmentation through partner Pancake, resulting in open rates 1.5-2 times higher than email and 1.6 billion VND in revenue from just 56 orders. The case highlights the power of diverse creative formats and personalized re-engagement.
Bonkers.corner, an Indian streetwear brand, improved ad performance by diversifying creative formats. Mixing video ads in Reels with static photos reduced cost per purchase by 20% and increased purchases by 25%. Authentic creator content drove organic discovery and low-cost acquisition. Structured A/B testing enabled data-driven optimization, proving that combining formats and real voices outperforms polished static campaigns.
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.
At MAU 2026, the industry agreed that attention, not production, is the bottleneck. Cross-platform web-to-app attribution is now achievable with AppsFlyer's mobile-grade measurement extending to web, giving ad ops a unified view. AI is in production, with Square's team shipping six live workflows. Web-to-app is the most efficient top-of-funnel for app businesses, and retention overtakes acquisition. Ad ops must prioritize clean signal layers and incrementality testing over single-metric attribution.
Instagram deep links suffer from the platform's walled garden, breaking standard links and preventing attribution. AppsFlyer OneLink technology bridges this gap via smart landing pages, enabling proper routing and attribution for bio, Stories, and DM placements. This turns Instagram from a black box into a measurable growth channel, crucial for scaling influencer programs and optimizing spend.
Agencies across Asia Pacific are shifting from chasing clicks to driving measurable conversions, leveraging AI to accelerate creative production, enhance intelligence, and build commerce-ready experiences. Key themes include velocity (systems that deploy creative at scale), intelligence (predictive analytics connecting media to commercial outcomes), experience (embedding commerce into touchpoints like WhatsApp and livestreams), and authenticity (using data to align genuine creator content). For ad ops, this means leveraging Meta's API, CAPI, and Advantage+ tools to automate workflows, optimize SKU-level performance, and scale authentic content. The takeaway: invest in infrastructure that enables speed, data-driven decisions, and seamless commerce integration.
Structured experimentation drives sustained performance gains in complex marketing landscapes. Liftoff's PEPr program prioritizes high-impact tests via quarterly roadmaps, balancing quick 'Discovery' initiatives with proven 'Scale' executions. Key insights include the need for clear hypotheses, controlled setups, and patience to distinguish signal from noise. Advertisers now expect tests to prove incremental value, not just generate learning. Consistency across regions allows validated insights to scale confidently, making experimentation a competitive advantage.
Email, SMS, and push are high-intent channels, but a structural gap between click and in-app action causes massive drop-off. CTRs of 30-40% often yield only 1-3% in-app conversion. The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.
TikTok Market Scope is a full-funnel analytics tool integrating paid, organic, and branded data to map audience journeys from awareness to conversion.
