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.

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.

Cracking the 2026 Holiday Season: A Data-Backed Playbook for Marketing Leaders

Q4 2026 planning should treat peak shopping as a compressed event, not a week. Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchase lift runs 2–3x install lift, so ad ops must schedule by daypart and hour. Singles Day is not global: Brazil, UAE and Spain show real lift, while US/France barely react. CPI spikes hardest in supposedly cheap markets—Spain’s CPI rose nearly 50%. Remarketing already drives 65–92% of non-organic spend and rises during peak. Deep linking is critical: deep-linked users are ~2x more likely to purchase and spend nearly 3x more. Benchmark market CPI, shift budget to remarketing, and connect every entry point.
