Mobile devices are becoming portals to our digital selves, with consumers eagerly awaiting personalized services that help discover content around them. The future of mobile lies in transforming apps into services that deliver personalized content in a non-intrusive way through APIs and by focusing on outcomes rather than products. This will involve new forms of native programmatic advertising, measuring acquisition, engagement, and outcomes to optimize apps, as well as leveraging trends in wearable technology, notifications, and apps that proactively deliver relevant content and services to users.

services around them in a personalized way.

content, but there’s a fine line
between personal and
intrusive. Context is key.

16. Well, then, if we are not in the content business, what business are we in? Consider
journalism as a service. Content is that which fills something. Service is that which
accomplishes something. To be a service, news must be concerned with outcomes
rather than products. What should journalism’s result be? That seems obvious:
better informed individuals and a better-informed society.
17. This idea of outcomes-oriented journalism requires that we respect the public and
what it knows and needs an. It forces us to stop thinking that we know better than
the public. It leads us to create systems to gather the public’s knowledge. That this
was the key insight that led Larry Page and Sergey Brin to invent Google’s search
and business: They trusted the clicks of the users.

25. Measuring Your Mobile Apps
• Apps are a different world than web, and
thus require a different methodology and set
of metrics.
• Regardless of the platform(s) your app lives
on or the tools you use to measure it, it's
critical to measure three key areas.
26. Three Key Areas of Apps
Measurement
Acquisition
OutcomeEngagement
27. Acquisition : Where Do Users
Come From?
• Acquisition metrics show you how people are
finding your app and whether they're continuing
to use it.
• Some of the key acquisition metrics to measure
include:
– New and active users : This will help you understand
if your application and marketing are successful at a
high level.
– App store traffic sources : This data will help you
refine your marketing activities to focus on the
traffic sources that provide your highest quality
users.
28. Acquisition : Where Do Users
Come From?
• Cont’d:
– App versions : Knowing which versions are
being used will help you understand which
versions of your app need continued support
and which are safe to deprecate.
– Device overview : optimize the experience for
each device.
29. Engagement Metrics: Is Your App
Sticky?
• Help you understand how users are interacting
with your app so you can add more of what they
like and remove what they don't. Key
engagement metrics you should keep an eye on
include:
– Screens : Determine how users move throughout
your application by measuring how they move from
screen to screen.
– User behavior : Assess how loyal your users are, how
frequently they use the app, and the engagement
level of each loyalty group.
30. Engagement Metrics: Is Your App
Sticky?
• Cont’d:
• App crashes. Troubleshoot problems on
devices and operating systems by seeing
trends in crashes and exceptions.
Developers need to keep close tabs on app
crash metrics in order to understand and fix
problem areas.
31. Outcomes: How Does My App
Impact the Bottom Line?
• Identify the metrics that show the business
value your app has created, and amplify the
areas that are showing the most value. This
include:
– Goal conversions : Set up conversion events in
your app (for example, time spent in app, or an
in-app purchase, ad click, etc.) to gauge
success.
– In-app purchases : Track the number of
purchases and revenue generated from them
34. From Pull to Push
The future of the Web is
"push-based," meaning
the Web will be coming
to us
The current Web is
"pull-based," meaning
we visit websites.
