Audiences

FEATURE SUMMARY: Creating audience segments is important to perform more specific targeting. Create audience segments to target users such as high-value users or users for reengagement.

 

External audiences can be joined with audiences that have been created within Kochava. The below Query example searches for device IDs that have accessed the app within a certain date range (7 days) but has not made a purchase.

Audiences can be easily created within Analytics or joined with external data within Query to create specifically granular audience sets. Kochava Audiences provides a single location for the delivery of an audience to a media partner for activation on a marketing campaign, or the export of an audience as a row-level list of device IDs to an email address or S3 bucket.


Audiences Interface

  1. Log in to Kochava.
  2. Select the desired Account and App.
  3. Select Audiences & Reports > Audiences.

Creating an Audience

Analytics:

From many views within Analytics, audiences can be created and saved. For more information about creating and saving audiences in Analytics, refer to our Analytics Page Tools support documentation.

 

Acquisition Audience Example —

Locating high-value users is very important. Analytics Funnel provides a unique opportunity to locate a user base that can be used within an Activation Partner to acquire a lookalike audience. For example, a gaming app looking for users that make purchases after completing a specific event such as completing a tutorial. The data shows that for this gaming app if a user completes the tutorial before they make a purchase the lifetime value of those users is much greater. If the Analytics Funnel is used to create an audience of users that have completed the tutorial and then made a purchase, those users can be used to locate a very valuable lookalike audience. Clicking on the devices in the purchase funnel event and selecting Export Audience (Sequence Enforced) will export the device IDs needed.

NOTE: Export Audience (Sequence Enforced) is specific used within the Analytics Funnel. Sequence Enforced means that only users that specifically followed the path of the funnel will be exported. In the image provided, only the users that followed the event path of _Install > Tutorial > Purchase will be exported.

Reengagement Audience Example —

Depending on the type of app, a reengagement strategy can be specifically designed for the most impact. For example, a gaming app that has a high number of users proceed to level 5 however they do not complete the level and there is a drastic drop-off of engagement by the users. In order to reengage those users, the Analytics Funnel can be used to create an audience of users who have started level 5 but have not completed the level. Special offers may be sent to users who have reached and completed level 5 in order to keep the users engaged with the game.
