Beyond Installs: What App Marketers Are Really Doing About Retention

Written by Adikteev | Oct 15, 2025 2:27:43 PM

Most app teams track installs and DAUs—but retention strategy is harder to define, measure, and operationalize. In this webinar, we’ll unpack the findings from a wide-ranging survey of app marketers working across UA, product, and CRM. The goal: highlight what teams are actually doing to retain users—from team structure and budget allocation to creative tactics and predictive tools.

Panelists will use the survey results as a jumping-off point to discuss how real teams approach retention today—what’s working, what’s still unclear, and where there’s room to experiment. You’ll leave with a grounded view of how your peers are structuring for long-term growth and where your team sits by comparison.

 

 

 

Topics We’ll Cover:

 Who Owns Retention?

  • Breakdown of retention ownership (marketing, product, CRM, or shared).
  • Why structure matters: common disconnects between engagement and measurement teams.
  • Panel insights on how retention has (or hasn’t) been successfully operationalized.

 Budgeting and KPI Alignment

  • % of marketing budget going to retention efforts.
  • Most common KPIs: churn rate, DAU, LTV, revenue per user.
  • Disconnects between goal setting and measurement.

 iOS Campaign Setup & Opt-In Rates

  • How teams are running iOS campaigns (probabilistic, SKAN, both).
  • Self-reported opt-in rates—and how they influence creative and targeting decisions.

 Predictive Tools & Attribution Confidence

  • Share of teams using predictive churn models vs. rules-based or manual signals.
  • How often teams are running incrementality tests—and why many still don’t.
  • Confidence levels in cross-channel attribution (scale of 1–5).

 Creative Strategy in Retargeting

  • What creative formats teams are using—and how they adapt for RTG.
  • Who’s building the creatives (in-house vs. agency).
  • Common workflows for testing and message versioning.

Who This is For:

  • Lifecycle marketers, UA managers, and product leads exploring how to scale retention.
  • Teams who want benchmarks to guide team structure, tooling, and budgeting decisions.
  • Anyone looking for a realistic view of what’s happening in the field—not just best practices, but current practices.
