In 2022, brand strategy became a key focus for CEOs and CMOs as privacy restrictions and economic uncertainty reduced performance marketing spend. While social media platforms like Facebook are popular for brand campaigns, they face brand safety issues and limited reach in walled gardens.

Email, SMS, and push are high-intent channels, but a structural gap between click and in-app action causes massive drop-off. CTRs of 30-40% often yield only 1-3% in-app conversion. The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.

For ad ops decision-makers, this means one truth source, actionable optimization signals across networks, and complete omnichannel ROAS visibility—enabling AI to compound advantage, not error.
