短摘要(3句话):
本文指出,零售媒体网络(RMN)的衡量正从传统ROAS转向增量ROAS(iROAS),71%的广告主将其视为最重要指标,但多数仍依赖旧有归因模型。Moloco推出AI原生的“竞价幽灵”(ghost bidding)方法,通过随机对照试验精准量化广告的因果增量,实测iROAS达253%至1609%,增量转化率4%至29%。该方案为实践者提供了摆脱自归因偏差、实现科学预算分配和持续优化投放策略的可行路径。
长摘要:
传统零售媒体归因面临三大痛点:手动实验成本高、需大规模收入牺牲的对照组(holdout groups)、与ML算法不兼容。Moloco的AI原生平台将增量测试嵌入广告投放决策,通过ghost bidding在真实竞价中随机屏蔽部分用户的广告曝光,形成严格对照组,无需另设隔离组。
该方法核心在于精准定义暴露组和对照组:暴露组只计实际看到广告的用户,对照组只计竞价中本应赢得曝光但因实验被屏蔽的用户,从而排除自然受众噪音。转化统计覆盖实验期间所有购买行为,不限于点击归因,避免低估增量效果。
早期实践数据表明,广告主iROAS从253%到1609%不等,增量转化占比较低至4%的案例也能证明广告的显著拉动作用。这验证了即使传统ROAS不高的campaign,也可能因增量贡献而具备投资价值。
文章强调行业应建立持续增量测试机制,并关注隐私合规:AI原生方法基于实时会话行为和上下文智能,无需cookie或身份信息,契合后cookie时代的衡量需求。Moloco建议广告主依据统计显著性、明确群组定义、全面转化追踪和排除外部干扰等最佳实践来部署。
Retail media networks (RMNs) must prioritize accurate measurement to build advertiser trust and prove ROI. With 68% of advertisers ranking ROI as top priority, RMNs need user-level data, SKU-level attribution, and lift analysis to demonstrate campaign impact. The article outlines a checklist for effective measurement, including omnichannel coverage, deduplication, and easy-to-access reports. It emphasizes the importance of data collaboration platforms for bridging walled gardens and achieving precision. A case study of Wolt Ads shows a 32% revenue uplift using AppsFlyer's data collaboration platform. Key takeaways: measurement drives ad revenue, user-level data is essential, flexibility matters, and simplifying reporting is critical for brand adoption.
The article discusses how mobile marketers can navigate 2023's economic slowdown, privacy changes, and post-COVID cooldown. Key insights include shifting from growth to profitability, prioritizing retention, diversifying channels, and adopting new measurement frameworks (SKAN 4.0, MMM, incrementality). Data shows apps spent $80B on UA in 2022 (5% YoY drop), iOS installs grew 16%, and non-gaming IAP revenue rose 20% while gaming fell 16%. Experts stress agility, LTV focus, and CTV growth.
Cross-platform measurement resolves the common problem of fragmented, device-level reporting that inflates ROAS and misallocates budgets. By unifying customer identity across web, mobile, CTV, and other surfaces, marketers gain a single view of LTV and attribution. AppsFlyer provides this via CUID stitching and Product Line grouping, enabling real-time, deduplicated insights without manual BI work. Key benefits include accurate cross-platform ROAS, elimination of duplicate attribution, and reliable data for AI-driven optimization.
Marketing attribution is critical for connecting spend to revenue, but platform self-reporting and last-click bias distort budget decisions. Single-touch models (first/last-click) are simple but miss the full journey; multi-touch models (position-based, data-driven) are more accurate but require robust data. Mobile attribution is particularly challenging due to ATT, SKAdNetwork, and cross-platform gaps, necessitating a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for independent, deduplicated measurement. Clean attribution data is essential for AI-driven optimization—bad signals lead to bad decisions. Starting with position-based attribution and incrementality testing provides a practical foundation.
In-app advertising (IAA) is projected to generate $314.5 billion in 2023, growing 10% YoY. For ad ops, balancing ad frequency with user experience is critical. Key takeaways include testing ad formats (banner, video, rewarded, native), choosing the right pricing model (CPM, CPC, CPA, CPI, CPV), and leveraging SKAdNetwork for attribution post-iOS 14. Success hinges on segmenting users, optimizing creatives, and adhering to privacy and viewability standards.
App marketing is crucial for standing out among millions of apps. The funnel includes awareness, acquisition, and retention. Key strategies: ASO for organic growth, social media, influencer marketing, and paid ads. Retention via onboarding, push notifications, and re-engagement. Metrics like CTR, ROAS, LTV, and churn rate are vital. 50% of uninstalls occur due to inactivity; 90% of users stay if they engage weekly. Focus on quality users and measurable KPIs.
TikTok's full-funnel automation, integrating creative, media, and measurement, addresses fragmentation in AI tools. Brands using Smart+ and GMV Max see improved ROAS and CPA. Case studies show Naturium achieved 3.5x ROAS, PHLUR 191% higher ROAS, and Leatherman 97% revenue increase. Symphony and Content Suite enable scalable, authentic content. The key is pairing automation with strategic storytelling.
AppsFlyer launches the Modern Marketing Cloud, a privacy-first platform combining four suites: Measurement, Deep Linking, Data Collaboration, and Agentic AI. Key products include Cross-Platform Journeys & LTV, showing 27%-65% lift in attributed LTV; Incrementality for UA, revealing 18% of campaigns had no incremental impact; and Enhanced Attribution Model reducing click flooding. The Agentic AI Suite introduces AI Assistant, MCP, Creative Management, and Agent Hub for autonomous marketing. Signal Hub enables secure data collaboration with Mastercard. For ad ops, this means unified measurement, privacy-safe data enrichment, and AI-driven optimization across channels.
