$APP excited to see what it is this time. Donโ€™t think theres ever been an exec team better at running a business while being horrible at protecting shareholders value. Itโ€™s impressive.

$APP The cloudx narrative might be the stupidest one of all. The only thing that matters now is data moat which is something neither cloudx nor any upstart competitor can ever hope to replicate. Of course the moat is intact and is in fact strenghtening by the day.

My favorite part of this job isn't helping the biggest brands. It's helping founders like Lorenzo. Self-funded. Zero employees. An Italian founder with nothing but grit and conviction. He started on @AxonAdsManager 5 weeks ago. Stories like this remind me why I do what I do.

$APP '$1,100 bull case in play' - Morgan Stanley APP can sustain above-market growth by continuing to expand its conversion rate, as ~99% of its ads still do not generate a conversion There is a 10x conversion rate gap between APP and market leaders, which implies significant headroom to expand Improvements would stem from APPโ€™s scale/data advantages, continued mix shift into non-endemic ads, and lower repeat rates APPโ€™s conversion rate has expanded 30bp over the last 18 months and we estimate that each additional 10bps would drive 17 points of net revenue growth If APP maintains 20bp of annual conversion rate expansion it could see revenue/ EBITDA ~50% above consensus by โ€™30 and put our $1,100 bull case valuation in play.

BREAKING NEWS: Mobile gaming traffic is incremental.
We just ran four months of AppLovin incrementality tests across multiple brands. Discovery campaigns are averaging 284% incrementality. Even excluding the outlier, it's sitting at 190%. For context, prospecting campaigns on the same platform benchmark around 120%. If you're running an 8-figure brand and looking for truly incremental customer acquisition, AppLovin Discovery is the channel to test right now. New episode breaks down exactly how we're running it. youtu.be/07ElWiWPM_4

Hope itโ€™s clear that this is because $META CANNOT compete in $APPโ€™s arena, not because they donโ€™t want to
Very positive call out on $APP - $META is no longer seen as to bid into no-IDFA taffic in IOs according to two sources . $APP had gotten killed on fears of $META (3pData shop)

Mobile games are the most slept-on acquisition channel in DTC. @AxonAdsManager just proved it. A GLP-1 customer saw a tiny couscous ad inside Words With Friends, watched the whole clip, and bought, because the product solves the nausea-and-protein problem the meds create. 1 billion people play mobile games daily. 35-second average watch time. That's not "just kids." We're in a GLP-1 economy. Axon is how you get your offer in front of it.
This is WHOLESOME AF 1 - great proof point that Boostcous customers do live on mobile games 2 - that we need to double down on the GLP1 angles. More to come there!

Yesterday, Adam gave the commencement speech at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, where he graduated 24 years ago. He talked about graduating with no job, getting kicked out of his parents' house, and finding his way into advertising by accident. But the part that stuck was this: when Adam was four, his parents uprooted everything. They gave up their home, community, and careers, moving the family across the country so he could have a shot. His dad gave up a company he founded to make it happen. That sacrifice stayed with him. It gave him a chip on his shoulder that he says never really went away. A few things he left the class of 2026 with: - "Your degree from Haas is a starting line. It's a ticket to the arena, not a trophy.โ€ - โ€œAsk as many questions as you can. Consume as much knowledge as you can. Trust me, you do that, and you will get noticed." ๐ŸŽฅ @BerkeleyHaas

2.35 incremental ROAS. Results Honeylove Co-CEO Igor says they hadn't seen from another channel before. Honeylove is a DTC shapewear brand with a product story that needs more than a few seconds to land. In this clip, Igor shares how longer watch time gave the team room to explain the product, communicate value props, and tell a fuller story without sacrificing performance.

What the $APP cult wants The business is exceptional. The numbers don't lie. But narrative matters in markets, and $APP 's narrative has been unjustifiably crushed. Here is what we want to see from management to fix that: 1) More appearances from Adam. The 20VC and Founders pods were a masterclass. Keep going โ€“ more podcasts, more fireside chats, more interviews. Every time he speaks, the bull case gets harder to ignore. 2) Open market share purchases. Comp packages are already tied to a $1T market cap โ€“ everyone is aligned and has conviction in the biz. But Adam buying shares on the open market sends a loud signal to the street. It's also the most powerful rebuttal to the short sellers (& reports) that management has never delivered. Buy the stock, Adam. 3) A live investor day. This one is from @NietzscheCapital. Host a live event. Bring e-commerce brands on stage โ€“ brands like the Israeli cookware company that scaled from $4M to $16M to a projected $80M in rev, with the majority of their spend on Axon. Let them speak directly to other e-com brands, analysts, and investors about how incremental the platform is and how to optimise ROAS. Fill the room with future customers, stock influencers, and analysts. Live stream it for free. Open the Q&A to everyone, including retail investors. We all saw the Q1 earnings call. The analysts' questions were shit (they get paid for thisโ€ฆ). Retail investors like @Jasonsmys or ad tech pros like @Ad_Quant or @eniac asking questions could not be worse than that. Most importantly use such an event for Adam and management to lay out a 2030 roadmap. Expected 30% revenue CAGR, 80% GAAP EBIT margins, the full picture. Give analysts and the market a framework to work with so expectations stay anchored to reality, not fear.
