Deep dives
The Evolution of Mobile Advertising
The mobile advertising landscape has experienced significant changes over the past few years, driven by major events such as COVID-19 and Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. As mobile usage continues to grow, the availability of programmatic inventory has also increased, with expectations of more than double the reach from 2020 to 2024. However, ATT has disrupted traditional targeting methods by removing the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), resulting in a shift away from iOS advertising towards Android platforms. Despite initial declines in iOS ad performance, a gradual recovery is underway as advertisers become more comfortable with no-ID inventory and techniques to optimize campaigns.
