The document discusses three reports that are essential for effective mobile marketing:
1) The Actuals report provides a broad view of campaign data such as clicks, installs, and revenue. It can be used to identify top performers, understand user behavior, and reconcile data.
2) The Cohort report analyzes groups of users (cohorts) over time to gain insight into user lifecycles and compare how campaign changes impact performance.

A Cure for Ad-Fraud: Turning Fraud Detection into Fraud PreventionInMobi
The digital advertising ecosystem continues to be threatened by an ever-expanding and evolving web of ad fraud, leaving advertisers scrambling to scrutinize the authenticity of each impression and every subsequent user interaction.

In order to truly eradicate fraud, advertisers, ad networks and attribution technologies must form a united front to turn ad fraud detection into ad fraud prevention.

State of Supply Quality in Mobile ProgrammaticMoPub
In our recent whitepaper series on the state of supply quality, we investigate three particularly salient topics to marketers today: fraud, viewability, and ad blocking. While these issues aren’t new to digital advertising, they are a new issue for mobile — particularly because they manifest in mobile differently than other digital advertising supply sources.
Today’s marketers must embrace a new engagement strategy to adapt, anticipate, and deliver in mobile moments. Placing mobile bets solely on ads or one-off purchases isn’t enough to secure revenue and engagement—marketers have to embrace continual cycles of real-time, two-way consumer engagement.
This webinar will show marketers how to create and deliver these experiences and campaigns.
Location-based advertising has evolved dramatically from its humble beginnings of simple geo-fence tests. Today, retail, QSR and auto brands are leading the way and running sophisticated campaigns that are delivering meaningful metrics.

This presentation will examine how consumers are using the Internet and identify the ways in which advertisers can best market to them. This will also reveal the key metrics that marketers need to use as they plan and analyze their online marketing efforts so as to maximize their ROI.
The database used for this discussion will be comScore’s panel of 2 million people who have given comScore explicit permission to track the complete details of their online activities.

The Three Basic Reports Every
Mobile Marketer Needs to Master
Significant improvement to mobile analytics coupled with other technological advances in the ecosystem
have enabled mobile marketers to become far more data-driven and analytical than ever before. Measuring
campaign performance has always been a priority, but considering global mobile ad spend is projected to
reach $125B in 20181
- an increase of nearly 250 percent from 2014 - the ability to effectively analyze and
optimize this marketing channel is of utmost importance.
Gaining meaningful insight into campaign performance is the key to successful mobile marketing. However,
determining which metrics to measure and identifying actionable data patterns is an endeavor many mobile
marketers find challenging. Having a thorough understanding of the three basic mobile marketing reports
enhances a marketers ability to analyze campaign data and recognize important performance trends.
The three fundamental reports essential to effective mobile marketing include:
Actuals Report: The broadest window into campaign data, the Actuals report can be used to identify
ad clicks, determine revenue associated with a particular partner, better understand user behavior,
reconcile data discrepancies, and much more.
Cohort Report: A powerful view into campaign performance that enables groups of users (cohorts)
to be compared in a meaningful way. Through the Cohort report, mobile marketers can better
understand user behavior, identify lifecycle patterns, and gain additional insight into how campaign
adjustments impact performance.
Retention Report: Even the most popular apps struggle with user attrition, and the Retention report
provides the quantifiable data necessary to accurately determine when and where app engagement
declines. This insight enables mobile marketers to better understand user behavior, and informs
re-engagement campaign strategies.
The following sections take a comprehensive look at these three reports and demonstrate how each one can
be utilized by mobile marketers to access critical data and optimize campaign performance.

ACTUALS REPORT
The Actuals report is an aggregation of the events, device details, demographic data, and other
relevant metrics designated for measurement by the mobile marketer. This report serves as the
broadest window into campaign data, and enables mobile marketers to gain significant insight
into campaign performance.
Examples of measurable event and audience data that could be included in the Actuals report, as well as options
for organizing the data:

Events that can be measured and incorporated in the report include:
These results can be filtered by more than 50 unique characteristics. Examples include:
Utilizing the Actuals Report
Through the measurement capabilities outlined above, the Actuals report is able to provide mobile
marketers with highly-valuable and actionable data. Determining which data to measure is largely influenced by
the app itself (e.g. the measurement data and the goals of a gaming app and a personal finance app will likely
vary). To provide a few practical examples, a mobile marketer might use the Actuals report to:
Identify the total clicks and installs on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis: Measuring and comparing how
campaigns perform over certain intervals of time enable mobile marketers to establish benchmarks and
make responsive adjustments. For example, a marketer might set a weekly goal for total installs. If standard
campaign efforts are yielding results that are lower than expected early in the week, the marketer could
make adjustments to the ad or allocate additional resources to ensure the goal is achieved.
To provide an example of the Actuals report data, seen on the following page is a screenshot of a fictional
music app called MobileMusic, measuring Clicks and Attributed Installs associated with a particular Partner
and Partner Campaign.

Determine the revenue associated with a particular partner, agency, or region: Gaining insight into the
revenue associated with a particular partner, agency, or region enables marketers to identify top performers,
and allocate ad spend accordingly. For example, consider a scenario where a mobile marketer is allocating ad
spend equally among three different partners, but achieving exceptionally higher results from one of these
partners. Instead of continuing to distribute resources equally, a percentage of the ad spend from the two
underperforming partners could be re-allocated to the top-performing partner, enabling the marketer to
receive a higher return on investment.
Better understand user behaviors and preferences: Having the ability to measure clicks, installs, opens,
events, as well as audience specific characteristics like device OS, type, model, etc. enables mobile marketers
to better understand users and in some cases even infer certain information about the audience. This
knowledge can then be used to inform campaign decisions.

Reconcile data discrepancies: One of the advantages of working with a third-party attribution provider is the
ability to reconcile data with partners when dissimilarities arise. It is not uncommon for data discrepancies to
occur between mobile marketers and partner platforms. For example, suppose a user clicked on two different
ads before installing an app. In theory, two publishers could take credit for the install, but only the publisher
responsible for the final click before the install should be paid. Reconciling data discrepancies through the
Actuals report helps protect campaign budgets and ensures marketers have an accurate perspective of
performance.
These examples represent just a few of the numerous ways the Actuals report can be utilized to enhance mobile
marketing efforts. Having access to powerful and dynamic tools that unlock foundational campaign data enables
mobile marketers to make more informed, data-driven decisions and better optimize ad spend.
7. The Three Basic Reports Every Mobile Marketer Needs to Master

COHORT REPORT
Think of a cohort as a group. More specifically, as a group whose members share a common
characteristic at a designated moment in time. General examples of cohorts might include
students entering a two-year graduate program at a university or individuals born in California
between 1990 and 1995. In the mobile app marketing realm, a cohort might be users who
installed an app during July, or users who clicked on an ad in the first seven days of a campaign.
Cohort Analysis
To illustrate why cohort analysis is necessary, consider this analogy to winemaking,2
paraphrased here:
A winemaker is interested in comparing new wine to older vintages to determine whether or not recent
modifications to the winemaking process changed the flavor of the wine. In order to make this comparison,
the winemaker might pour a glass from the most recent bottle and a glass from a much older vintage, and
then ask the sommelier to do a blind test taste.
However, even a novice winemaker would understand that this testing method would probably not provide
the most astute comparison. The problem is easy to identify: the vintage bottle has aged, matured, and
changed flavors over time. Consequently, in this moment the two wines are simply not comparable (and
using this method, they probably never will be). An alternative method that accounts for the “interference”
(i.e. the differences between the two wines that compromises comparison) is necessary. And this is precisely
what cohort analysis provides.
The principles of the winemaking illustration have major application in mobile marketing. For example, after users
download an app, their preferences, behaviors, and levels of engagement tend to change and evolve over time,
and lifecycle patterns begin to emerge. As mobile marketers make modifications to campaign processes, it’s
challenging to determine the impact these changes have on users at different stages of the lifecycle.
Consequently, examining two (or more) cohorts that are at completely different stages is not an astute
comparison, and does not yield consistently reliable conclusions.
Identifying user lifecycle stages and implementing tactics to influence user behaviors are fundamental roles of
mobile marketing. Through the Cohort report mobile marketers are able to more easily identify user preferences,
behaviors, and patterns, and better discern how campaign changes impact key metrics. And perhaps most
important, by removing interference, the Cohort report enables comparability between groups that would not be
possible otherwise.
8. The Three Basic Reports Every Mobile Marketer Needs to Master
PAGE 7
To illustrate, consider a scenario where a mobile marketer started working with two new partners, one month
apart. The marketer would like to know which partner is delivering users with a higher average lifetime value
(ALTV). If monthly data was simply collected and plotted linearly, the graph might look something like this:
Based on the data in this graph, the mobile marketer might conclude that Publisher Two is marginally better than
Publisher One. However, as discussed, because users from each publisher are at different stages in the lifecycle
(users from Publisher One are one month further into the lifecycle than those from Publisher Two, resulting in
interference), comparing the cohorts in this manner is not particularly useful.
Interference is removed by directly comparing users at equivalent times in the app. By evaluating the ALTV for
each cohort using the beginning of the partner relationship as the initial event (t0) and the ALTV each month
following (i.e. t0+1, t0+2, etc.), a more astute comparison can be made. As seen in this second graph, through
cohort analysis, the same data now tells a different story:

It can now clearly be seen that the ALTV from Publisher Two is higher and grows more quickly than the ALTV
from Publisher One. And by Month 5 the difference is considerable (whereas without cohort analysis the
difference was almost negligible). Armed with this information, a mobile marketer might respond by cutting back
ad spend to Publisher One and allocating additional resources to Publisher Two. Without Cohort reporting, the
marketer may have continued splitting the budget 50/50 between the two publishers, missing out on a simple
opportunity to acquire users with higher ALTV.
Cohort Reports
As illustrated in the following graphic, Cohort reports are a powerful and flexible report that can display a variety
of events, calculate financial metrics, and be grouped in a variety of different ways. Similar to the Actuals report,
the Cohort report can also be filtered by more than 50 characteristics.
10. The Three Basic Reports Every Mobile Marketer Needs to Master
PAGE 9
Utilizing Cohort Reports
Cohort reports enhance a mobile marketer’s ability to:
Make astute comparisons: Cohorts can be defined by any relevant characteristic that is shared. The possible
combinations of attributes, event data, time intervals, and other factors available through Cohort reporting
introduces mobile marketers to a number of opportunities. For example a mobile marketer might compare:
• Financial metrics like Lifetime Value (LTV), Cost per Install (CPI), Revenue per Install (RPI), or % To Payback.
• Engagement metrics like Events per Install (EPI) or Opens per Install (OPI).
• Other highly relevant campaign activity, such as time to first purchase or average time to second open.
Each of these metrics can be compared in accordance with a specific time interval (e.g. Daily, Weekly, Monthly,
Annually, All Time). For example, the following graphic shows the RPI and OPI for five different partners on a daily
basis. A mobile marketer might respond to this information by reducing ad spend allocated to partner 5 and
redistributing to Partner 1 as it has a notably higher RPI rate.
Identify important patterns: One of the primary benefits of Cohort reports is the ability to identify trends,
patterns, and consistent user behaviors. For example, a mobile marketer might monitor the total number of app
users and notice that roughly 25 percent of total users stop engaging with the app each month. This information
is useful, but without a solid understanding of when users drop off, the impact of re-engagement campaigns is
relatively limited.

Alternatively, with a Cohort report the marketer might see a consistent drop in user engagement right at the
three-week mark. Instead of running a broad campaign trying to connect with the entire user base, a mobile
marketer could run a re-engagement campaign or special promotion specifically targeting new users right at that
vulnerable three-week mark. Identifying patterns like these is almost impossible without cohort analysis.
Understand the impact of campaign adjustments: Cohort analysis enables marketers to better understand the
impact of deliberate campaign changes. In the previous example, the mobile marketer adjusted the standard
campaign and started targeting users at a specific point in time (the three-week mark). Through cohort analysis,
the marketer would be able to clearly discern whether or not these targeted campaign efforts resulted in higher
levels of engagement.
Cumulative vs.
Incremental View
The Cohort report is often viewed in a
cumulative and incremental manner. It’s
important to understand the difference
between each view, as distinct campaign
insights can be gained from each perspective.
Cumulative
As indicated by the name, the cumulative option displays results in an increasing, aggregated view. For example, a
marketer utilizing the cumulative view to measure Revenue per Install (RPI) over a given month would see the RPI
combine over the course of the 30 day period. Consequently, the cumulative view should trend upward and to the
right.
The cumulative view of the Cohort report provides mobile marketers with a great window into user growth over time.
Incremental
The incremental view displays cohort data in a non-aggregated fashion. The following graphic displays two weeks of
RPI data. Instead of trending up and to the right, the lines move up and down in harmony with the RPI each day.

The incremental view of the Cohort report enables marketers to gain insight into user retention. For example, a mobile
marketer could view the incremental data of the previous 12 months and identify the peaks, low points, or other
changes correlated with a specific sale or campaign. This knowledge can then be used to inform future campaigns.
Through the Cohort report, mobile marketers are able to make meaningful comparisons between groups of users
that would not be possible otherwise. The primary value provided to mobile marketers is the ability to more easily
identify patterns and better understand the impact of campaign adjustments.

RETENTION REPORT
User acquisition has always been a prominent priority for mobile marketers. However, after the initial
acquisition event, focus immediately shifts to ensuring users stay active and engaged with the app
over time. Even the most popular apps struggle with maintaining existing users, and without tools or
resources to identify app usage rates, mobile marketers have no meaningful way to effectively battle user attrition.
The Retention report provides the quantifiable data needed to accurately determine when and where app
engagement is declining, enabling mobile marketers to better understand user behavior and gain further insight
into the complete user lifecycle. This knowledge can then be used to design engagement campaigns that focus on
the point(s) in a user’s lifecycle where the risk for attrition is highest. Considering that acquiring a new user has
been estimated to be up to 95 percent more expensive3
than re-engaging an existing user, the value of the
Retention report is clear.
Calculating Retention
The most common measure of retention is the number of unique opens by each user. However, simply measuring
and assessing the number of unique opens an entire user base produces does not provide insight sufficient to
draw any significant conclusions. By making the Retention report cohort based, far greater insight can be derived.
In order to calculate the retention rate on a cohort basis, four factors are needed:
Retention metric: Opens, purchases, or other events deemed relevant by the mobile marketer.
Cohorting event: The initial engagement event (i.e. the app install event).
Timeframe of interest: The timeframe interested in evaluating (during which the cohort event occurred).
Cohort time interval: The time interval in which users are grouped (e.g. a weekly basis).
The Retention rate is calculated by dividing the number of unique app opens (within a specific time interval) by the
total number of app installs (essentially, the base cohort size or retention potential), and then multiplying the
quotient by 100.4
For example, the calculation for an app with 5,000 downloads on Day 0 (i.e. the day of the install) and 3,100
unique opens seven days after the install would look like this:
Retention on Day Seven = (3,100/5,000) x 100 = 62%
Number of Unique “app open” events on Day X
Total number of “app install” events on Day 0
Retention on Day X = X 100
14. The Three Basic Reports Every Mobile Marketer Needs to Master
PAGE 13
To provide an illustration of how the Retention report works, consider a scenario where developers made
significant updates to an app. Following the release, developers and mobile marketers are interested in
understanding whether or not the modifications impacted retention. Two weeks following the release, cohorts
from before and after the modifications could be compared, and the impact on retention could be identified:
As indicated in the chart above, the changes to the app resulted in significant improvement to retention. Prior to
the release, the three-week retention rates were 21% and 19% for the June 1 and June 8 cohort. Following the
changes, the three-week rates come in at 56% for the June 15 cohort, and 54% for the June 22 cohort. By utilizing
the Retention report, app developers and marketers now have the data to clearly determine that the major
updates to the app had a positive impact on user retention.
Utilizing the Retention Report
Through the capabilities described above, the Retention report enables mobile marketers to understand
the levels of user engagement associated with specific campaigns, partners, regions, operating systems, or other
key characteristics. To provide a few examples of how the Retention report might be used, consider the following
scenarios:
• Simultaneously running multiple campaigns is the norm in mobile marketing. Suppose a mobile marketer
ran five different campaigns in the month of August. The Retention report could be used to determine which
of those five campaigns was most effective at delivering users with the highest engagement rates. Future
campaigns could then be modeled after the campaign that achieved the most active users.

The following graphic shows the retention rate of three different cohorts in the month of November.
• A mobile marketer might work with dozens of advertising and publishing partners and be interested in
acquiring users that make an in-app purchase within the first two weeks following the install. Through the
Retention report, the marketer could determine which partners were delivering the most users that met the
in-app purchase criteria, and use this information to allocate additional resource to the highest performing
partners.
• A mobile marketer might be interested in reaching a broader audience and could run campaigns in three
new regions. Through the Retention report, the marketer could determine which of the new regions
produces the most engaged users, and allocate future ad spend based on that insight. Similarly, the
Retention report could be used to inform the marketer about which regions currently deliver users with
high engagement rates.
• Mobile marketers often promote apps on at least two operating systems. Through the Retention report,
the mobile marketer might compare engagement levels between Android and iOS users over a specific
time period (i.e. month, quarter, etc.), and use that knowledge to inform future campaigns.
The examples above represent just a few of the ways the Retention report can be used to provide valuable
insight to mobile marketers. The important factor to note is that in each of these examples, the Retention report
is providing actionable data that enables marketers to identify the partners and channels that bring in the most
active and engaged users. With the Retention report, a marketer’s ability to build and maintain an active and
engaged user base improves considerably.

The significant value of reporting in a single dashboard
Mobile marketers have access to a wide variety of tools and resources to help them be
successful. But contemporary marketing is not a simple, one-dimensional role. On any given
day a mobile marketer might be managing multiple paid social campaigns, running organic
campaigns to drive inbound traffic, optimizing a landing page and improving app store optimization, making
media buys, or several other tasks - all while working with numerous partners across a broad number of channels.
Mobile marketers rely on data to help them optimize campaigns and maximize return on ad spend. One of the
challenges facing mobile marketers is the need to work in several different programs just to manage campaign
data. Consequently, many marketers spend their time toggling between multiple dashboards, trying to piece
together information to make data-driven decisions. This fractured, multi-dashboard strategy is not only
incredibly impractical, it introduces opportunities for inaccurate comparisons to be made and misguided
inferences drawn.
Alternatively, having all marketing campaign data aggregated and displayed in a single dashboard not only
eliminates the inconvenience of toggling between several programs, it provides marketers with the ability to
reliably compare all marketing platforms and channels and gain insight and understanding into which are
performing at the highest levels. And that’s where the true value of a single dashboard is found - making
comparisons and gaining insight that may not be possible any other way.

Summary
Modern mobile marketers have access to tools and resources that enable them to be far more data-driven and
analytical than in years past. But with access to huge volumes of data, many marketers struggle with determining
which metrics to measure and understanding how to leverage campaign data. As an unprecedented percentage
of global ad spend migrates to mobile, mastering the three basic mobile marketing reports is essential.
The three basic reports include:
Actuals Report: The broadest window into campaign data, the Actuals report can be used to identify
ad clicks, determine revenue associated with a particular partner, better understand user behavior,
reconcile data discrepancies and much more.
Cohort Report: The Cohort report is a powerful view into campaign performance that enables
groups of users (cohorts) to be compared in a meaningful way. Through the Cohort report, mobile
marketers can better understand user behavior, identify lifecycle patterns, and gain additional insight
into how campaign adjustments impact performance.
Retention Report: Even the most popular apps struggle with user attrition, and the Retention report
provides the quantifiable data necessary to accurately determine when and where app engagement
declines. This insight enables mobile marketers to better understand user behavior, and informs
re-engagement campaign strategies.
Having the ability to compare campaign data from diverse platforms, channels, and partners all in a single
dashboard is a significant advantage for mobile marketers. Through these reports, mobile marketers are able to
the gain the insight necessary to understand user behavior and identify lifecycle patterns, and use this knowledge
to optimize campaigns and inform future ad spend decisions.
