    Affle’s programmatic platform Jampp releases iOS SKAdNetwork 4.0 Guide

    Mumbai: Jampp, a leading programmatic mobile marketing company that helps mobile app  advertisers acquire and re-engage their users has recently launched an iOS SKAdNetwork 4.0 Guide to  help APAC App Marketers scale their business on Apple devices. This latest guide aims to empower  advertisers across APAC markets with valuable insights and strategies to fully leverage SKAdNetwork  4.0 for driving privacy-centric app growth for their Apple iOS apps.

    According to the industry average, in India, only 36 per cent of users allow advertisers to track their IDFA  data, which suggests that marketers who choose not to test SKAdNetwork are potentially failing to  reach over 60 per cent of their iOS users. Conversely, ambitious advertisers investing in SKAN campaigns are  already seeing positive results, securing full coverage of their iOS audience and achieving enhanced  campaign performance.

    Over the past years, Apple devices have been expanding their presence in APAC, the leading  smartphone market in the world. This year, India notably joined China and Japan securing their  position within Apple’s top 5 iPhone markets. Given the top-tier nature of iOS devices and premium  users, their direct contribution to in-app transactions and revenue surpasses their device market  share across various markets. However, effective advertising on iOS has become a challenge for App  Marketers after the introduction of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework in 2021.  This privacy-focused initiative limits user data tracking for mobile marketing, which brings difficulties  in serving personalized ads, as well as accurately understanding campaign ROI.

    In the context of ATT, Apple released SKAdNetwork, an attribution solution for users who opt out of  being tracked by advertisers and Jampp’s latest guide will help advertisers navigate SKAdNetwork  4.0 and come up with the best solution to measure and optimize the impact of their iOS campaigns.  

    The guide covers a full overview of how Apple’s ATT is impacting app growth strategies across the  digital industry and the opportunities SKAdNetwork provides. It also features detailed insights from  expert voices in the industry, such as Affle’s Anuj Kumar, M&C Saatchi Performance’s Roshat Adnani, MicroAd’s Yuki Kubota, and BIGO LIVE’s Jane Zhi.

    Jampp, which was acquired by global technology company Affle in 2021 offers a programmatic mobile  advertising platform used by leading app marketers to acquire new users and drive repeat usage and  transactions with existing users. The company’s deep focus on leveraging unique contextual and  behavioural signals to deliver in-app engagements has helped it drive incremental growth for top  marketers in North America, LATAM, APAC and many other markets.
