AppsFlyer Acquires oolo to Transform AI-Driven Decision-Making for Marketing, Growth and Monetization Teams

The strategic acquisition further expands AppsFlyer’s capabilities and platform to accelerate data-driven decision-making that fuels efficient business growth

San Francisco, December 5, 2023 — AppsFlyer, the global leader in marketing measurement, attribution, and data analytics, today announced its acquisition of oolo, a leading AI-powered user acquisition and monetization decision-making platform. The acquisition strengthens AppsFlyer's portfolio of products and services as the company introduces holistic solutions crafted for the interconnected needs of modern marketing, growth and monetization teams, and will see oolo operate as “oolo by AppsFlyer.”

AppsFlyer’s acquisition of oolo comes as a part of the company’s continuing mission to empower brands with the most comprehensive decision-making platform in the constantly evolving digital ecosystem. As marketing, growth and monetization teams expand their responsibilities and strategies for acquiring, engaging, and monetizing customers, the need for informed decisions made in real-time, at scale, significantly increases. Responding to these challenges, oolo harnesses AI’s full capabilities to enhance growth strategies – from full-funnel acquisition, monetization, and retention – providing immediate actionable insights and time-sensitive alerts to instantly optimize return on ad spend (ROAS), media revenue, and retention. By continuously monitoring entire datasets, the crucial insights and predictions delivered by oolo’s powerful AI would otherwise remain hidden or require weeks of work by teams of data analysts to uncover.

Now part of AppsFlyer, oolo will also be integrated into AppsFlyer’s growing Privacy Cloud Marketplace, pioneering how AI products can address the primary issue of signal loss and utilize the data within customers' Data Clean Rooms to deliver additional value through data collaboration with a privacy-by-design approach.

“Adapting to the ever-changing digital ecosystem requires innovative solutions that can offer privacy-centric, actionable insights for optimal decision-making,” said Oren Kaniel, CEO and co-Founder at AppsFlyer. “oolo’s unique technology, team and expertise will play a key role in our continual pursuit to build a holistic platform that accommodates the shifting expectations, roles and challenges of modern marketing teams. The combination of oolo’s innovative technology with AppsFlyer’s industry leading measurement platform offers brands new opportunities to harness AI’s full capabilities to optimize their growth and monetization strategies. We believe the future of data-driven decisions is in smart AI rather than the static tools which are common today, and oolo’s cutting-edge AI technology enables us to better serve the increasing demands of our customers and meet their evolving needs.”

oolo delivers a constantly updated alert system that makes it easy to detect anomalies, identify immediate growth opportunities, prevent and correct inefficiencies that help solve the daily optimization challenges growth marketers face. By using data from marketing campaigns to train itself to understand what's normal and what's not, oolo surfaces and prioritizes the most urgent, important and granular insights so marketing, growth and monetization teams are able to gain a competitive advantage and achieve better results with less effort. 

AppsFlyer’s acquisition of oolo is the company’s second this year, following its recent acquisition of devtodev, a full-cycle data analytics solution for game and app developers. oolo and devtodev will be among the first applications within AppsFlyer’s recently launched Privacy Cloud Marketplace, and will enable all data, analytics and AI providers to build their products using AppsFlyer’s APIs and seamlessly integrate their services without moving or sharing user data with external parties.

“It’s an exciting time for us at oolo,” said Yuval Brener, CEO of oolo. “This acquisition is set to blaze a trail in the data analytics space as we join forces with AppsFlyer to provide state-of-the-art data monitoring technologies for brands around the world. With AppsFlyer’s proven track-record, large client base, and privacy-preserving architecture, our customers will benefit from an integrated approach to growth decision-making unlike anything seen before.”

oolo by AppsFlyer will be available to both existing AppsFlyer customers and on an independent basis.
