With more than 360 billion downloads between 2008-2017, mobile apps cannot be ignored as an important channel for reaching customers. Big brands have begun making apps an essential component of their strategy, especially as new mobile-first competitors disrupt a brand's established space. To promote their apps to the masses, can brands and their agencies use traditional consumer touch points, or are new strategies needed in this new frontier?
In this bootcamp, Viki Zabala, VP Marketing for mobile app marketing experts Fiksu will discuss user acquisition strategies for driving downloads and user engagement. We'll discuss how to measure and optimize mobile ad performance and how new channels such as Facebook’s mobile app install ads present a tremendous opportunity for app marketers to cost-effectively build their loyal user base. Joining Viki is Neal Ostrov from Mobli, the red hot photo and video sharing app, who will share tips on Mobli's successful user acquisition program.
