The challenge
IDP needed a mobile measurement partner (MMP) to effectively measure the performance of its apps’ marketing campaigns across a number of countries and a variety of objectives. Without proper measurement in place, the company had difficulty identifying user acquisition (UA) sources and reliably measuring conversions. These insights were critical for analyzing the effectiveness of their marketing efforts as well as the performance of various channels in order to optimize strategies effectively.

Trustworthy attribution was also necessary to understand user behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns. This would enable IDP to ensure its apps provide relevant and effective content, resources, and support based on individual needs and preferences.
The team at IDP needed the reliable data of an MMP to optimize its services, improve user acquisition strategies, and enhance the overall user journey, ultimately maximizing its students’ educational experience and success.
The solution
To begin, the team at IDP leveraged Adjust to understand which campaigns were generating the most conversions. The ability to filter by specific locations facilitated a simpler analysis experience.
With this information and initial campaign optimizations underway, IDP then delved deeper into insights using raw data. Working alongside the Adjust support team, IDP was able to expand its marketing channels with a deeper understanding of performance.

IDP assessed the effectiveness of re-engagement campaigns compared to user acquisition campaigns by analyzing install and reattribution volumes side-by-side. They also identified and measured a number of events along the funnel to gauge campaign performance and success across operating systems and geographical locations. Adjust’s App Performance Report helped to visualize the company’s multiple apps and campaigns simultaneously, providing a view of overall performance.
Integrating all of IDP’s marketing platforms and channels into a single tool was a sizeable task, considering the company’s global presence with apps in over 80 countries. IDP utilizes over 100 ad accounts, 12 platforms, and numerous campaigns. With the support of the Adjust support team and strategic planning, IDP was able to complete the integration swiftly for all three of its global apps.
The results
With the help of Adjust, IDP Education has been able to:
- Grow monthly active users (MAU) by 25%
- Improve D7 retention by 10%
- Increase user stickiness
- Reduce effective cost per install (eCPI) by 50%
