User Acquisition

Unlocked – Mobile & App Growth Summit returns to Singapore for its third annual edition on July 16, 2026, at One°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.

Teresa Widodo explains how brands can drive scalable app growth by aligning business goals with data signals, leveraging discovery platforms, and building lifecycle strategies that move users from installs to long-term value.

Gaming studios are spending more and creating faster, but the pool of players isn't getting any bigger. A new industry report reveals the pressure building across acquisition channels.

As platform fees rise and acquisition costs climb, subscription apps are moving conversion upstream. The results are hard to ignore.

Lorenzo Rossi talks about navigating rising acquisition costs, avoiding metric confusion, leveraging creative testing for growth, and why diversification, localisation, and full-funnel optimisation are essential for sustainable mobile app scaling.

Louise Verschuren shares why app growth is a continuous, full-funnel discipline, how creative has become the new targeting, and why localisation, brand-building, and post-install metrics matter more than installs alone.

Mayank Sancheti explains how AI enables scalable user growth by reducing creative fatigue, powering hyper-personalisation, and turning experimentation into repeatable systems across acquisition, onboarding, and retention.

As mobile marketing evolves, the debate between direct-to-app campaigns and web qualification flows continues to divide the industry. Igor Lyubimov, CEO of web2wave, shares why mobile marketers should see Web2App not as a rival but as an essential part of a diversified growth strategy.
