The ongoing digital transformation has elevated the complexity of marketing roles and underscored the importance of product-led growth in the gaming and apps sectors. As marketers increasingly focus on retention and customer lifetime value (LTV), the demand for advanced data analytics has surged.
Coupled with a growing emphasis on privacy measures and recent signal loss, the proliferation of data silos and inconsistencies has complicated the marketing decision-making process. The acquisition of devtodev will empower gaming and app developers to leverage comprehensive, unified data analytics and actionable insights, thereby unlocking potent opportunities for efficient growth.

“Over the past two decades, cloud computing and SaaS have compelled companies to share their customers’ data with various entities,” Kaniel said. “Now, with the emergence of AI services and its appetite for vast amounts of data, we propose a paradigm shift: bringing these services or AI models to the data, instead of sending the data to the service. This boosts compliance, accelerates time-to-market, and eliminates the need for user data movement, copying, or sharing, ensuring utmost privacy and efficiency. Together with DevtoDev, we’re immensely proud to build the next generation of growth analytics and deliver privacy-first measurement products.”
