Helping advertisers connect with SKAdNetwork-ready growth partners

iOSandSKAdNetwork

As 2020 comes to a close, the promise of enforcement for Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency (ATT) framework in Q1 2021 has advertisers growing more eager to start using the SKAdNetwork. With ATT set to decrease the availability of the identifier for advertisers (IDFA) on iOS devices, deterministic attribution on mobile growth campaigns will in large part be confined to the SKAdNetwork. So which growth partners should you run your first SKAdNetwork campaigns with?

Why certification matters

With minimal adoption to date, SKAdNetwork is a relatively untested technology. Marketers need to work with partners they can trust as they venture out into this uncharted territory. Kochava has been working closely with our integrated partners to develop a set of criteria and minimum requirements for inclusion in this program. As such, certification through the program indicates that a partner is taking necessary steps to maximize advertiser success on SKAdNetwork and provide the most granular level of performance insights feasible through SKAdNetwork.

Key certification requirements include:

  • Provide SKAdNetwork ID from registration with Apple as an Ad Network
  • Syndicate SKAdNetwork postback data to Kochava to facilitate advertiser reporting and optimization (Kochava provides multiple options for partners to send this data to Kochava.)
  • Relay SKAdNetwork campaign data mapping values included on the remaining clicks and impressions sent to Kochava in real time (eg, campaign ID, campaign name, and related ad network’s custom parameters)
