So you need SKAdNetwork-compatible mobile ad inventory ...
 SKAdNetwork-compatible mobile ad inventory is hard to come by these days. Fortunately, Snap is ready, and Singular and Snap are announcing a joint solution for SKAdNetwork campaign measurement. 
For all the details, we check in with Singular product marketing manager Saadi Muslu in this episode of Growth Masterminds.
Perhaps even more interesting?
Like Facebook but unlike Google, Snap has decided to show the App Tracking Transparency prompt. And the results, according to our recent IDFA survey data, could be extremely important for the ecosystem as a whole.
All the details in the episode, or here in the blog post:

iOS 14: is the ad ecosystem ready? (plus SKAdNetwork and MMPs, mobile web and deep links, and VTA)
 We are down to the short strokes now: Apple’s iOS 14.5 will roar in next week or soon after, changing mobile marketing on iPhone and iPad forever. But is the mobile advertising ecosystem ready? Is there SKAdNetwork-ready ad supply from mobile publishers? And how will MMPs, mobile web customer journeys, and deep links work?
In short: there are still a lot of questions.
I spent some time with Jonathan Chen, who leads Singular’s attribution product and manages integration with top partners, to answer these questions.

Fingerprinting in iOS 14: where you can and can't use probabilistic fingerprinting for marketing measurement or tracking
 Can you fingerprint users in iOS 14? Or, in other words, use probabilistic attribution?
There’s been a ton of questions about this. Some vendors have said yes, and in fact there are some circumstances where fingerprinting is OK. But Apple has said fingerprinting is not OK in cases where people have not granted tracking permission.
So what’s OK, and what’s not?
We’re chatting with Eran Friedman, CTO of Singular, who’s been working with SKAdNetwork for the past six to nine months

SKAdNetwork challenges for mobile marketers: supply side data, and privacy cohort size
 Singular CTO Eran Friedman talks about challenges with SKAdNetwork: getting enough supply side data, and ensuring you hit privacy thresholds to get data not just in number of total instals, but also total installs for each of several key parameters ...
In other words ... it’s about much more than getting, or not getting, the IDFA.

From Hello World to Clash of Clans: how your marketing analytics needs change
 How do you get from Hello World to Clash of Clans?
Marketing analytics help you grow, but there’s different needs at different stages of development ... from just starting out ... to having a global big-money winner.
To dive into how those needs change over time, we’re chatting with Claire Rozain.
She leads UA at Product Madness, and has been at Match, Mappy, and multiple other brands before. And she's managed marketing from bare-bones in-the-garage all the way up to the biggest brands and the largest scale.

ROAS and cohorts in iOS 14? Here's how
 ROAS is perhaps the most foundational KPI in mobile marketing. The big question for 2021 is: can you still calculate ROAS in iOS 14?
“First and foremost, I think we should recognize that there is still … IDFA, because users might opt-in,” says Singular VP of product Alon Nafta. “But if we go to SKAdNetwork — which let’s assume is the common case — it’s not like you don’t have anything. The SKAdNetwork framework does give you a few elements that if used correctly ... advertisers can expect to get something sensible.”
Short version: yes.
Slightly longer version: there are some challenges.

Mobile ad monetization: challenges, trends, and future for this multi-billion dollar segment
 True ROI calculation requires complete data. You've got data on your In-app purchase, of course. But most mobile publishers also have ad monetization data. The question is: how do you get all of it together … match it up … and figure out true ROI based on your actual cost of user acquisition?
To get more details, we’re chatting with Lisi Gardiner, Senior Product Manager for Analytics for Singular. And we'd better be fast: we're keeping her from weekend pizza and wine.
