People-Based Attribution: It's Evolution, Not Revolution - AppsFlyer

The promise of cross-device, cross-channel measurement and holistic attribution has been talked about for at least 10 years. However, with the reality of significant divide between user behaviour and marketing measurement, it is clear that modern marketers still struggle to bridge the gap.

This presentation covers the basics of holistic attribution and its currently expanding relationship with the measurement gap. Most importantly, we highlight how the previously "siloed" web and mobile worlds are coming together not as a radical revolution of attribution products, but rather, in the natural progression of our industry as it's been heading for years.

Digital Transformation Through Data

Digital innovation has reshaped the news and media industry. The transition from print to digital started more than two decades ago, and the changes to news and media companies during this time have been dramatic. 

To capitalize on this evolution, news and media companies are harnessing the power of their digital platforms to generate insights on reader behavior in ways that were never before possible. By applying these insights with increasing sophistication, companies are improving both reader engagement and online revenue performance.

In this talk we’ll discuss how news and media companies are leveraging audience data to increase engagement on their digital platforms and drive value through the monetization of those platforms.
