AI-Powered Mobile Marketing Attribution

Think of this as a super-smart referee for your mobile ads. It watches every tap, install, and purchase across apps and channels, then decides which ad truly deserves the credit—while trying not to expose or misuse people’s personal data.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional mobile attribution struggles to correctly credit which ads drive installs and in-app revenue, especially with privacy restrictions (IDFA/GAID limits, ATT, GDPR) and cross-channel user journeys. This leads to wasted ad spend, fraud, and poor optimization decisions. AI-based attribution uses patterns in aggregate signals to improve accuracy of campaign performance measurement without relying as heavily on user-level identifiers.

Value Drivers

More accurate ROI measurement for mobile ad campaignsBetter budget allocation across channels, creatives, and partnersReduced impact of tracking limitations from privacy changes (IDFA, ATT, GDPR, etc.)Improved fraud detection and filtering of invalid trafficHigher campaign performance via smarter optimization signalsLower dependence on deterministic user IDs, improving compliance and privacy posture

Strategic Moat

Access to large-scale attribution logs and performance data from many advertisers and networks, plus integrations into the broader ad tech ecosystem (SDKs, MMP connections, ad networks) create a data and workflow moat that is difficult for new entrants to replicate quickly.

High (Custom Models/Infra)

Scalability Bottleneck

High-throughput ingestion and real-time scoring of events at scale under strict latency and privacy constraints; maintaining model accuracy as platforms (iOS/Android, SKAdNetwork, Privacy Sandbox) change signal availability.

Differentiation Factor

Positioned around using AI/ML to improve attribution accuracy and privacy compliance in a post-IDFA world, likely emphasizing probabilistic modeling, fraud detection, and privacy-preserving analytics beyond what rule-based or purely deterministic attribution systems provide.
