About Halbestunde and REPLUG

REPLUG is a mobile app growth agency that provides its clients with custom strategies to optimize marketing budgets and scale growth. Adjust and REPLUG work together to provide mutual clients with accurate marketing insights. REPLUG leverages the client’s Adjust dashboard and callbacks not only for SKAN but also to make decisions that can boost the client's growth.

The Challenge

Like many app marketing teams in the post-iOS 14.5 world, Halbestunde faced difficulty accurately measuring its iOS campaigns. Without clarity on how to measure these campaigns or develop a conversion value strategy, the team found it difficult to strategically and confidently approach their marketing efforts on iOS. The team was determined not to miss out on any valuable measurement opportunities, but the limited visibility posed a significant hurdle.

Another challenge was the scattered nature of their data, with multiple sources storing information. Discrepancies within channel connections compounded these complexities, requiring additional support to swiftly establish a SKAdNetwork (SKAN) strategy. Consequently, they sought a reliable, consolidated, and unified data source for their campaign data.

Overcoming these obstacles required strategic planning and close collaboration within the Halbestunde team and with the Adjust and REPLUG teams.

The Solution

To address the challenges with iOS faced by Halbestunde, the team discovered a solution called REPLUG through Adjust’s partner marketplace. Recognizing REPLUG as an expert in iOS, they reached out for assistance. REPLUG's expertise was particularly valuable in assessing the data completeness for missing key performance indicators (KPIs). The ultimate aim of partnering with REPLUG was to establish a robust measurement framework that would effectively track their campaigns.

"Since the introduction of SKAN, it's been challenging to redefine our measurement. With the help of REPLUG, we managed to build an autonomous SKAN strategy for more precise data within a week."

With support and guidance from REPLUG, Halbestunde gained more confidence in its measurement capabilities and subsequently could make better decisions on which channels to allocate its advertising spend. To facilitate this process, REPLUG collaborated with Adjust to set up intricate conversion value mapping for Halbestunde's revenue events within Conversion Hub, further strengthening their measurement infrastructure. This collaborative effort allowed Halbestunde to overcome previous obstacles and pave the way for more effective campaign optimization and decision-making.

“Analyzing SKAN data is key for our strategy as we continue developing our app based on user interactions. However, it was challenging to find an agency that could help us address this requirement. Having the recommendation from the Adjust Partner Marketplace to work with REPLUG gave us the confidence to trust an external agency with such a technical topic, and the REPLUG team was the right partner for it. Relying on Adjust’s SKAN toolkit empowers us to drive a sustainable app strategy while investing more in our iOS marketing efforts at a higher return.”
