Mixed impact of COVID-19 on ad tech

and app ecosystem

▪ Mobile device engagement

increases as more people

are required to stay at home

▪ Significant growth in activity

for gaming apps

▪ Spend on user acquisition

ads (performance

advertising is stable or

growing, as app developers

seek to grow their following

and user base

▪ Other growing app

segments include fitness,

delivery, streaming,

e-learning

▪ Brand advertising decreases

as marketing budget are

affected by cost cuts and ad

campaigns are being paused

▪ Activity and marketing spend

within certain app verticals

such as travel, ride sharing,

dating decline

▪ While ad tech companies

and app publishers are well

suited for remote work,

product development and

business conversation are

generally slower and less

effective

Opportunities Immediate impact

▪ As more people are affected

by economical challenges

due to a general economic

downturn, user spend on in-

app purchases may decline;

potentially translating into

reduced marketing spend on

user acquisition

▪ Increased seasonality in

advertising spend during and

following the crisis

▪ Increased collection

challenges as typical

payment cycles may expand

Mid-term risk
