4 ways to help your app scale during major sporting events

By Daniel Godley·Jun 10, 2024·3 min read

Summary

This article advises app marketers on leveraging major sporting events like the Olympics and Euro Championship to scale user acquisition. Four key strategies are recommended: 1) Update creatives with sports-themed elements like medals and flags to connect with top-of-mind events. 2) Engage audiences through interactive polls and contests on social media to build community and brand awareness.

3) Create FOMO with time-limited offers tied to the events, driving urgency. 4) Diversify marketing channels beyond traditional social media, including on-device channels like Unity's Aura, to reach users at high-engagement moments. These tactics help QSR, news, e-commerce, and sports streaming apps capitalize on increased screen time.

The 4R framework for understanding deep linking | Adjust

Karthik Kannan distills deep linking into a practical 4R framework: Remember, Reach, Retrieve, Route. For ad ops teams, the key insight is that campaign context must survive the click-to-app journey. Adjust TrueLink captures link parameters on click; the user is then guided into the app via Universal Links, Android App Links, URI schemes, app stores, or web-to-app flows. On SDK init, the app session is matched and attributed to the click, then link data is passed to the app for routing. Decision-makers should ensure deep link paths, campaign parameters, attribution matching, and fallback journeys are tested to protect measurement and user experience.
