Editor's Notes

  • #7 Welcome. My name is [Name]. I am a [Title] for TUNE, a mobile marketing company that builds the leading enterprise SaaS platforms for marketers and their ad supply partners.
  • #8 We put together a report using data we collected ourselves using historical data for 2015 which was a massive year for mobile, it was a massive year for mobile marketers. Through TUNE, across more than 249 countries, marketers measured: Billions of mobile installs More than 100 billion mobile clicks Hundreds of billions of mobile ad impressions Interestingly, marketers also tracked billions of in-app actions, going beyond acquisition to engaging and re-engaging with mobile users and customers. To put it in perspective, the amount of data we measured was: Over 400,000 gigabytes Which is about 150 standard desktop hard drives of data Which is enough to store about 100 million songs
  • #9 Everyone wants an app and we’re going to talk today about how to make that happen
  • #13 Games are massive in almost every single country, averaging just over 40% of the app installs that TUNE measures globally. Here are a few of the countries that rank particularly high, with their percentage of game apps across both Android and iOS.
  • #14 A trend we see globally is that humans like to stay connected with other humans. Here is the percentage of TUNE-measured installs for social apps in seven countries… Japan being perhaps the most social. An interesting note -- while there’s broad adoption globally, we tend to see larger focus on social in countries that are in some sense isolated, whether by custom, law, culture, history, or geographical location.
  • #15 Music is one of the most consistently downloaded categories globally, accounting for about 3-6% of TUNE measured downloads in almost every single country. Except, of course, Mexico… Where people apparently love music even more passionately.
  • #16 Another remarkably consistent trend that TUNE measures globally is the desire to travel, both within one’s country and abroad. People in almost every nation have this desire, although we see it particularly strong in China. One thing to note -- while travel apps have a clear revenue model, their usage mode is episodic. In-app marketing can help you both engage and re-engage users over time.
  • #21 Lastly, we’d like to give a nod to the top apps in five key categories. We can all learn from these apps, in terms of how they acquire, retain, attribute and generate revenue from users -- both around the globe and at an individual user level. They have something about them that wants to make people keep using them
