Mobile advertising, by nature, is an ever-changing industry. It moves into new and different territories very frequently with the rise of modern factors such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI) attribution, personalisation, 360 tracking, data compliancy, and more. Simply put, mobile advertising continues to take on new faces every day. This past decade has experienced an especially vast catalyzation that makes it quite difficult for companies to stay up to date with the changes. There simply isn’t enough time to be reactive without cutting edge technology. The alarming truth is that 76% of marketers fail to use behavioral data automation and AI for mobile ad targeting; this will leave them at a great disadvantage.

What exactly is making mobile advertising move quickly?

Automation: Machine Learning

Automation has found its way in all aspects of the internet, including mobile advertising. This has made mobile advertising easier but less predictable. The rise of machines and Machine Learning equates to the elimination of manual optimizations. While this saves advertisers time with distribution processes, it comes with a certain loss of control. Ad hubs, such as Facebook, are exemplary in this loss of control as they’ve begun to change keyword match type works and began to implement features that rely heavily on Machine Learning. This means that advertising professionals must be constantly learning the new types of machinery and features as well as how to identify patterns in those algorithms. This effort is time-consuming and must never stop; according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), 20% of digital advertising businesses will be conducted by machines interacting with each other and that percentage is growing rapidly. In reality, automated platforms and Machine Learning will continue to drive industry growth by providing increasingly effective advertising, flexible monetization opportunities, and improved consumer experiences.

Facebook currently has over 2.45 billion monthly active users (MAU) and with an average time spent per Facebook visit around 20 minutes, it is one of the most important advertising platforms on the internet. Like many in the industry, Facebook has become heavily reliant on Machine Learning and reinforcement learning to increase its user experience indexes.  This means that for publishers to be successful on Facebook the right signals have to be sent to Facebook to be fired into its Machine Learning models for the most profitable traffic is sent to their campaigns.

We are proud to announce that Creative Clicks has a one of a kind tracking solution with the ability to directly signal conversion data into Facebook’s Machine Learning models.

This revolutionary technology is already powering current Creative Clicks partner’s Facebook campaigns and has proven that it will reduce Facebook CPC cost while increasing their EPC per campaign over time.

New technology: New User Experiences

Advancements in technology have played critical roles in how people are exposed to new information in today’s tech-savvy consumers. Due to these technological advancements, it’s much easier now than ever to find and track your targeted audiences. However, the incrementation of platforms means that it takes creativity for an advertiser to understand and find ways to monetize new platforms. An example of this is the rise of augmented reality (AR) and it’s growing presence in mobile devices. Applications such as Snapchat implement AR in the various filters that they have for photos, in turn creating a new window of potential for mobile advertising. Furthermore, advancements in virtual reality (VR) technology like Oculus and its growing adoption in home and work environments also create new opportunities for new monetization streams. No matter how niche these windows of potential may seem for now, a mobile advertiser must be current and on top of trends enough to be successful for the future.

Compliances: Changing Regulations

When it comes to mobile advertising, compliances can be opaque and involve much more than just copyright, patents, TCPA rules or other more known regulations from the past. The list has since expanded and therefore, new ways to get in trouble exist. This means that navigating ways in which to advertise mobile requires more and new filters. The disclosure of material relationships, deals, risks, and copyright fair use, are examples of new precautions that a modern-day mobile advertiser must take. Otherwise, a mobile advertiser can get into serious legal problems in ways that were a little more permissible or perhaps simply nonexistent before. Therefore, it is imperative that a successful network stays up to speed with current legal situations and supplements it with technology like Machine Learning to automatically identify these risks.

Fraud: Illegal Behavior

App-installed fraud is a common occurrence in mobile advertising; it happens when a company gets falsely rewarded for the download of an app from a user. This fraudulent behavior is very expensive for marketers as it’s stealing from their profit when it comes to mobile advertising— these are known as bad actors. If advertisers pay per install, the bad actors will still find a way to falsify those numbers and information. Adjust found that throughout the summer of 2018, 13.7% of app downloads were rejected as fraudulent, costing marketers a loss of around $2 billion in 2017 alone. This is only expected to increase more. Advertisers need to be aware of these frauds and employ fraud prevention solutions, Machine Learning and trusted third party services. Creative Click’s own tech stack has built in some of the most trustworthy fraud detection tools in order to mitigate the risk for the advertiser.
