Xavier Mariano
"With 75% of respondents using retargeting for both apps and games, it’s clear that retargeting remains a cornerstone of effective user retention strategies."
Xavier Mariani
CEO at Adikteev
Peggy Anne Salz
"Splashing the cash on expensive UA and prioritizing quick wins over long-term retention only worked when both investors and the industry had an appetite for risk. Now that the pitfalls — burning money instead of making it — are clear, the focus has shifted to growth through retention. It's an environment where experience matters, and marketers compete — and out-execute the competition — by analyzing the full user journey, plugging the "leaky bucket," and predicting churn."

Clement Favier
"The data on retention KPIs is a game-changer for performance marketers. It’s clear that having a more holistic view of user behavior is critical to improving retention rates and driving long-term engagement."
Clement Favier
COO at Adikteev
