    The Wild West of Mobile, Gaming & CTV | Andrew Wohlwend, Head of Operations at Xsolla

    The lines between CTV, mobile, social, and gaming have officially blurred. But as platforms converge, measurement is falling apart. In this episode of The Incremental Marketer, Andrew Wohlwend (Head of Operations, Xsolla Ads) explains how marketers can find signal in the chaos—and rebuild attribution that actually works.
