It connects brands with a curated ecosystem of mobile-first publishers — including app-based cashback platforms, deal aggregators, social commerce creators, and mobile content networks — enabling brands to reach consumers precisely where they spend the most time: on their smartphones.
In India’s mobile-dominant internet economy — where 95%+ of online shopping sessions originate from mobile devices — Admitad’s infrastructure is purpose-built to capture, attribute, and convert mobile traffic at scale. The Bewakoof partnership is a landmark example of this capability in action.

2. Key Capabilities in Mobile Marketing Technology
Admitad’s platform has been engineered from the ground up to serve the mobile-first marketer. The following capabilities directly underpin the category of Excellence in Mobile Marketing Technology:
Mobile-Attributed Tracking & Deep Linking
Admitad deploys server-to-server (S2S) postback tracking and mobile deep-link technology to accurately attribute every conversion — whether a user clicks an affiliate link in a cashback app, a WhatsApp deal post, or a mobile browser — back to the originating publisher. This eliminates the attribution gaps that plague standard redirect-based tracking on mobile browsers and in-app environments.
App-First Publisher Ecosystem
The majority of Admitad’s publisher base in India operates through mobile-native channels: cashback apps (CashKaro, Magicpin-style platforms), coupon apps, deal community apps, and short-video shopping links. For Bewakoof, this translated directly into affiliate-driven traffic that was overwhelmingly mobile, matching the brand’s core shopping audience.
Real-Time Mobile Analytics Dashboard
Marketers access a live performance dashboard showing mobile-specific metrics: mobile vs. desktop click split, app-versus-browser conversion rates, device-type performance breakdowns, and real-time ROAS by affiliate channel. This granularity allows rapid reallocation of budget toward the highest-performing mobile touchpoints.
Mobile Fraud Prevention
Admitad’s anti-fraud layer is calibrated for mobile-specific threats: click flooding, device farm abuse, SDK spoofing, and incentivised install fraud. Every conversion attributed to a mobile publisher passes through automated fraud filters before commission is approved, protecting brands from mobile ad fraud — one of the fastest-growing threats in performance marketing.
Cross-Channel Mobile Attribution
Admitad tracks user journeys that span multiple mobile touchpoints — a user may discover a deal in a cashback app, revisit via a browser, and complete checkout in Bewakoof’s mobile app. Admitad’s attribution model captures and credits the correct publisher across this multi-touch mobile path, ensuring accurate ROI measurement.
Scalable Mobile Campaign Infrastructure
The platform handles millions of mobile events daily — click pings, impression signals, postback fires, and conversion confirmations — with enterprise-grade uptime and latency performance optimised for India’s diverse mobile network conditions (including 4G and low-bandwidth environments).
3. Campaign Implementation: Bewakoof on Mobile
Brand Context
Bewakoof is a D2C fashion brand built for India’s mobile-native Gen Z and millennial consumers. Over 90% of its customer traffic originates from mobile devices. The brand’s challenge was not just reach — it was mobile-attributed, cost-efficient customer acquisition that could scale into Tier II and Tier III cities where smartphone penetration is high but brand awareness is still developing.
Mobile-First Strategy Implemented
Channel Strategy — Mobile Publisher Priority
Admitad curated a publisher mix weighted toward mobile-native platforms: app-based cashback services, deal notification apps, and mobile coupon communities. Each publisher was vetted for mobile audience quality, conversion track record, and alignment with Bewakoof’s youth demographic.
Attribution Setup — Deep-Link & S2S Postback
Admitad implemented deep-link tracking for Bewakoof’s mobile app and mobile website, ensuring that affiliate-referred users landed directly on relevant product pages — reducing friction and improving mobile conversion rates. Server-to-server postback was configured to capture in-app purchases with full accuracy.
Performance Model — CPS on Mobile Conversions
A Cost-Per-Sale model was applied exclusively to verified mobile transactions, ensuring that commissions were triggered only when a genuine purchase was completed on a mobile device. This eliminated wasted spend on mobile clicks that did not convert.
Real-Time Optimisation — Mobile Metrics Dashboard
The campaign team used Admitad’s live dashboard to monitor mobile click-to-conversion (CTC) rates, device-level performance, and publisher-specific ROAS. Underperforming mobile publishers were replaced; top performers received accelerated commission incentives.
Geographic Expansion — Tier II & III Mobile Markets
Admitad’s publisher network includes regional deal and cashback apps with strong penetration in non-metro India. This enabled Bewakoof to reach mobile shoppers in cities like Jaipur, Patna, Bhopal, and Lucknow — audiences largely inaccessible through traditional digital media buys.
