Facebook and Instagram introduced new advertising features in July: tools for app advertisers to reach users likely to download and take valuable actions, and dynamic travel ads on Instagram. Reference materials include the 2016 Holiday Insights Guide, Facebook Innovation Spotlight winners, and Facebook IQ videos and reports on campaign measurement, platform roles, mobile gaming trends, and frequency planning. Success stories highlight Kabam's 37% increase in game downloads with video carousel ads and Voloom's 40% sales lift with video ads optimized for conversions.
These resources help marketers plan effective campaigns.

At MAU 2026, the industry agreed that attention, not production, is the bottleneck.

AI is in production, with Square's team shipping six live workflows. Web-to-app is the most efficient top-of-funnel for app businesses, and retention overtakes acquisition. Ad ops must prioritize clean signal layers and incrementality testing over single-metric attribution.

Analysis of 2022 World Cup mobile data reveals that the tournament's largest engagement window occurs early, with sports entertainment installs spiking 189% and sports news 204% on November 22. Engagement revolves around national team matches, with significant spikes from non-participating markets like China (+1,294% sports entertainment installs). For 2026, brands must adapt in real-time to shifting attention across matches and regions. Adjust's AI-powered attribution and analytics provide the visibility needed to capitalize on these global events.
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.
