46% OffRegardless of Apple saying that its items and services are ad-free, there are some ad slots on the App Shop and other native iOS and macOS apps. As the companys services category continues to grow, it appears that Apple is taking the next big step to buy its advertising platform with the hiring of Antonio Garcia Martinez– who worked at Facebooks advertisement group.
As reported by Business Insider, Martinez was worked with by Apple in April and is expected to operate in Cupertino, California, based on info from his LinkedIn profile. He operated at Facebook from 2011 to 2013 as Product Manager for the social media networks advertisement platform and is also understood for being an entrepreneur and author of the popular book “Chaos Monkeys.”
He initially concentrated on its ad-targeting efforts prior to ending up being product supervisor on FBX, Facebooks now defunct real-time bidding advertisement exchange. He released “Chaos Monkeys” in 2016, a tell-all memoir covering his time at the company.
According to the report, the author and entrepreneur is joining Apple to work with the App Store and Apple News marketing group. Both the business and Martinez decreased to comment on the hiring.
Apple once had its own advertisement platform called iAd, which let advertisers provide interactive ads within iOS apps. However, the platform was never ever considered a success, and Apple discontinued it in 2016. Nevertheless, Apple now offers ad slots to highlight apps in the App Store, not to point out the advertisements displayed in Apple News.
Apple earned $16.9 billion from services in Q2 2021, that includes the App Store and the advertisements within it. More recently, Apple has actually been motivating more developers to promote their iOS apps through advertisements, which suggests that the company does indeed want to more check out such a classification.
Interestingly, this comes as the business is pushing the new App Tracking Transparency function to let users decide out of being tracked by third-party apps, which has substantially impacted companies like Facebook, whose revenue is primarily based upon advertisements. According to a recent report, more than 10,000 apps have currently adopted the function.
While it appears not likely that Apple will end up being a significant player in the online advertising market, the company probably desires to guarantee that advertisements shown in iOS (a minimum of in its own apps) abide by privacy guidelines.
