    How investing app Public.com is shifting strategies to acquire users in a down market

    This episode we invited on Rockford Yapp, the VP of Acquisition at Public.com, an investing app where you can invest in "everything." Still, most people use it for trading stocks which are on a downward trajectory right now, making user acquisition a challenge. Rockford says while there are headwinds and "doom and gloom" seem to be everywhere, it's presented him the opportunity to shift strategies and the audiences he's targeting. Find out more, AND if Adam was able to stump Rockford in a game of Two Apps And A Lie (24:58).

    Navigating changing cohort behavior - How MoneyLion is getting ahead in this economy

    "This is a different start to a podcast than I've ever experienced," said this week's guest, Cynthia Kleinbaum Milner, Chief Customer Officer at MoneyLion. MoneyLion is an all encompassing personal finance app where Cynthia leads the marketing team's efforts. We talk about the changing economic conditions and what that means for marketing a personal finance app: "From a marketing perspective, we're keeping an eye on pay back period of customer acquisition investments. We used to be much more focused on CAC and right now CACs are getting lower because there's so many people applying for our lending programs. But the lifetime value of those customers is different because cohorts are behaving differently." We go deeper into her mobile marketing strategy and chat about how she benefits from competitive intelligence.

    It's Time to Focus: Apptopia CEO discusses data for the downtimes

    Apptopia CEO Jonathan Kay joins the podcast for the first time in a long time (despite his many attempts at getting booked) because in today's economic climate, data is the hero we need in order to make smarter and more efficient decisions. Jonathan believes pairing first-party data with third-party data is crucial to answering brands' biggest questions. He lends his expertise on how to start attacking these questions so the data doesn't become overwhelming, and we get into which industries we think have the most opportunity for market share shake ups.
