Meta expands Creator Marketplace globally, adding ads performance badges, creator recommendations, similar creators search, and a redesigned homepage. New tools in Partnership Ads Hub surface organic UGC and affiliate content with performance insights. Facebook introduces Partnership Ads API, expands creator eligibility to professional mode profiles, and simplifies permissions with creator-shared ad codes. Key data includes 19% lower CPAs and 13% higher CTRs for partnership ads, and 76% of Gen Z open to brand content from creators.
The article discusses how mobile marketers can navigate 2023's economic slowdown, privacy changes, and post-COVID cooldown. Key insights include shifting from growth to profitability, prioritizing retention, diversifying channels, and adopting new measurement frameworks (SKAN 4.0, MMM, incrementality). Data shows apps spent $80B on UA in 2022 (5% YoY drop), iOS installs grew 16%, and non-gaming IAP revenue rose 20% while gaming fell 16%. Experts stress agility, LTV focus, and CTV growth.
The article argues that the traditional split between brand and performance marketing is outdated. Consumers experience a fluid journey, so marketers must adopt a 'full-funnel' approach, blending both strategies—'brandformance.' TikTok provides tools for targeting, creative, automation, and measurement to execute this. Key insights include using interest-based targeting, Search Ads, creator content, and incrementality testing. The piece emphasizes that brands like Steve Madden succeeded by combining awareness and conversion tactics, proving that integration drives better ROI than siloed efforts.
TikTok's full-funnel automation, integrating creative, media, and measurement, addresses fragmentation in AI tools. Brands using Smart+ and GMV Max see improved ROAS and CPA. Case studies show Naturium achieved 3.5x ROAS, PHLUR 191% higher ROAS, and Leatherman 97% revenue increase. Symphony and Content Suite enable scalable, authentic content. The key is pairing automation with strategic storytelling.
August mobile gaming saw stable revenue at $6.57B and downloads at 3.76B. Honor of Kings led revenue through major events, while Tencent titles accounted for 5 of top revenue growth spots, driven by China. Download trends highlighted open-world crime games (Gangstar Mirage City), ASMR unboxing (Mystery Dumpling), and casual vehicle titles, with high growth in India, Brazil, and Turkey. For ad ops, seasonal events, limited-time cosmetics, and localized partnerships are key to engagement; emerging genres and fast-growth markets present new user acquisition opportunities. Live-ops pacing is critical for monetization.
The 2025 AppDev Awards highlight five mobile games that excelled in areas like collaboration events, social features, minigames, new releases, and long-term evolution. Key insights for ad ops include leveraging strong IP crossovers (e.g., Diablo Immortal x WoW), faction-based social events (Wild Rift x Arcane), high-revenue minigames (Merge Mansion), and sustainable monetization (Pokémon TCG Pocket). Brawl Stars' revival through collaborations, system updates, and live events offers a masterclass in user engagement. These strategies can inform ad targeting, monetization, and retention tactics.
Unity and Discord launch a new Learn course on integrating Discord Social SDK into Unity games. The SDK enables social features like OAuth2 authentication, friends list, rich presence, lobby management, friend invites, and in-game messaging. Games like Marvel Strike Force, Halfbrick Sports, Rust, and 7 Days to Die have successfully implemented it, enhancing player connectivity and engagement. The course provides step-by-step guidance for Unity developers, aiming to boost user acquisition and community building. For ad ops, this integration opens opportunities for social-driven ad targeting and cross-platform campaigns, leveraging Discord's 200M+ monthly active users.
TikTok's UK/Europe scale (30M+ UK, 200M+ EU) and content graph make category objections obsolete. For ad ops, success comes from relevance, not trends: proof-led demos, explainers, reviews, and problem-solving content can reach high-intent audiences without a large follower base. Case studies show material performance: Toyota CPA -38%, BCP 10x registrations, Randstad 2.81% CTR/17M impressions, Prep Kitchen +44% conversion and +374% orders with Smart+, PureGym CPA -77%, HydroClean cost per conversation -74%. Action: test utility/creator content, use Smart+ for scaled creative testing, layer TopView on trusted content, and target niche communities rather than broad reach.
