Firms Form Post-IDFA Alliance to Help Smooth the Transition to an IDFA-Less Future!

App marketing optimization platform, Liftoff, has launched the Post IDFA Alliance, a partnership of mobile marketing technology companies focused on addressing the concerns of mobile marketers and app publishers in the wake of Apple’s recent update to their IDFA policies. The alliance, which includes Liftoff, Fyber, Chartboost, InMobi, Vungle, and Singular, represents a broad spectrum of companies from the mobile advertising industry.

Apple’s upcoming iOS 14 update will give users the choice to block the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) at the app level while requiring the industry to adopt the App Tracking Transparency framework (ATT) and SKAdNetwork to ensure adherence to Apple’s consumer privacy guidelines.

In response to the update, the alliance – representing demand-side platforms, supply-side platforms, and mobile measurement partners – has launched No IDFA. No Problem, a resource for mobile marketers and app publishers to support a seamless transition to the post-IDFA privacy-oriented landscape.

Featuring a wealth of videos, articles, case studies, best practices, webinars, and tools, this website arms app publishers and marketers with actionable information to stay competitive in a more privacy-centric mobile advertising environment.

With expertise from supply-side, demand-side, and measurement, we aim to ensure a smooth and successful transition into this new era, with the assurance that marketing can and will continue to be just as effective on iOS in this more privacy-centric manner.”

As marketers and app publishers adapt to this new normal, this group of key mobile marketing companies is also developing new techniques and protocols to maximize the success of its clients, investing in research into alternatives such as “blended LAT traffic,” a precursor of what to expect with the rollout of IDFA opt-in changes.

That’s why we’re excited to join the Post-IDFA Alliance and work alongside industry-leading partners to provide educational resources that’ll help marketers adapt and ultimately continue to drive growth for their business.

InMobi, a global mobile advertising and marketing platform:

InMobi has always put consumer privacy first and we fully support the spirit of the IDFA changes. That said, we know this is a large shift for the industry and the Post-IDFA Alliance will play a key part in the education required to make this transition seamless. This will ensure that advertisers continue to benefit from mobile in-app opportunities that have consistently provided high ROI. We look forward to collaborating with Liftoff and the members of this alliance and will bring InMobi’s unique mobile expertise leveraging our exchange, DSP and consumer-facing properties to this initiative.
