This is it! The exciting conclusion to our interstellar tale of two partnership marketing communities, mobile and desktop, that seemed destined to remain divided despite all of the similarities between them. If you’re just joining in, here’s a quick recap of our hero’s adventures:
In Mobile Planet #1, our hero set off to discover the best way to measure his digital marketing campaigns, but found only disagreement and division …
In Mobile Planet #2, our hero encountered the obstacles that were causing so much antagonism and wondered if there was a solution …
In Mobile Planet #3, armed with new knowledge and a new outlook, our hero charted a course for a world where digital channels can coexist in harmony …
And now, after light-years of galactic travel, our hero re-enters a familiar atmosphere safely and full of hope. His breakthrough discovery? The solution to unifying desktop and mobile partnerships is sitting right in front of us, right here on planet Earth — and right under your own roof.
An Earthly Discovery
Located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest is TUNE, a partner marketing platform that integrates directly with mobile measurement partners. Innovators at TUNE have been leaders in mobile and performance marketing for over a decade; we even invented the technology and term behind “postback,” the tracking standard on mobile. We know this world very well.
But we also know digital marketing — not just on apps and smartphones, but on desktop web, too. By specializing in the more complex realm of mobile attribution, we’ve also mastered tracking on desktop web. We know how both work, and how to make them work together. That means the TUNE Partner Marketing Platform can house all of your partnerships across desktop and mobile, route all of your users to the right place, track all of your campaign conversions and transactions, and finally, pay all of your partners.
All that you need to unify your desktop and mobile partnerships with TUNE is already sitting right in front of you — or, more precisely, in your app.
Most likely, your mobile app already has a software development kit (SDK) from a mobile measurement partner (MMP) installed. (Almost every app worth a darn has a mobile measurement SDK installed, since you can’t measure much of anything without one.) Thanks to the SDK that your MMP has already provided, you can now use the TUNE Partner Marketing Platform to manage your mobile partnerships the same way you manage your desktop-bound relationships.
So what does that really mean? If you’ve been searching the marketingverse for a way to future-proof your affiliate or partner program, or to scale with new types of partners like mobile ad networks and app creators, you can finally relax — you just discovered a solution in TUNE.
