It uses models like single-touch (first/last click) or multi-touch (linear, time-decay) to assign credit across customer journeys. Challenges include privacy changes and tracking difficulties, but solutions like MMPs and AI can help optimize campaigns.

Omnichannel Analytics Explained

Omnichannel analytics unifies customer behavior and campaign performance across mobile, web, CTV, and AI search into one identity, one attribution model, and one ROAS number. The core problem: a single customer seen on three surfaces becomes three users, inflating performance and corrupting attribution, LTV, and retention. Stitching channel reports into one dashboard is not unification—each channel keeps its own attribution logic, so conversions get double-counted and upper-funnel spend looks unproductive. For ad ops leaders, the takeaway is that identity resolution (deterministic plus probabilistic, privacy-safe) must happen at the data layer before any dashboard exists. Platform choice hinges on surface coverage, identity resolution, compliance, incrementality testing, and migration support.

Creative optimization: Why your best video ad fails as a static image

AppsFlyer’s 2026 creative data shows video and static image ads reward opposite creative qualities, so ad ops teams should plan, budget, and test them separately. Video spend is concentrating: gaming’s top 2% of video creatives captured 60.7% of spend, up from 53.5%, while image spend spread out. Top spenders are testing far more variations, widening the testing gap. Action/Strategy and Puzzle/Lifestyle show format-specific tone and social-proof reversals; Finance is the exception. Teams should use AI-assisted variation, analyze video winners deeply, keep broad image testing, and measure performance at attribute level.

Web Gaming: The untapped path to lower CPI and boost ROAS

Mobile CPI and app store fees are eroding ROAS, making web gaming a viable acquisition channel. Full Unity-to-HTML5 ports now deliver 30-50% lower CAC and avoid 15-30% store revenue cuts via web payments. Measurement parity is here: AppsFlyer enables independent attribution, conversion signals, and unified reporting. Retention can improve; one strategy title jumped from 6-7 minutes mobile to 70+ minutes web. Best fit: deep RPG, strategy, puzzle, story games, not hypercasual. Action: audit catalog, pilot web ports, link accounts cross-platform, and use owned media to drive high-intent web users.
