Our first guest of 2022 is Faith Price. 

Faith heads the paid UA team at DoubleDown Interactive and has spent a large part of her career managing UA and ASO. She has managed over 20 soft launches throughout her career. 

Yet, her most recent launch was a very unique challenge for her – because this was the first one she managed after Apple’s introduction of the ATT. 

It was impossible to estimate results with no prior data points. Measurement was broken with SKAN. These were among the very many challenges which Faith had to address. Today she pulls the curtains back on the many learnings which she shares in this interview.

For a very instructive look at how the soft launch playbook has changed post ATT, please check out this episode with Faith Price.
