My guest on this week's episode of the podcast is Kate Minogue, who previously served as Meta's Head of Marketing Science for EMEA and now serves as a fractional C-level executive for various companies. Kate published one of the first guest posts on Mobile Dev Memo in 2019: The LTV metric isn’t dead. Here’s why. The post was a rebuttal / response to my own contentiously titled post, It’s time to retire the LTV metric.

Among other topics, Kate and I discuss:

The core of a capable marketing analytics function for an app developer -- the "minimum viable marketing analytics" organization;
The key considerations that app developers should make in building "optimization moments" in their apps;
How app marketers should think about channel diversity;
How the most sophisticated app advertisers approach measurement;
How app advertisers should think about about organic contribution to ROAS;
What a "fractional CMO" is, and when a company might consider engaging a fractional CMO;
The differences between fractional executives and consultants;
How a fractional CMO's performance should be evaluated.
