Confidential + Proprietary Proprietary + Confidential Optimise for LTV ● All the users aren’t the same and won’t bring the same value ● Do not focus on CPIs, ROI is the more important ● An event that happens fast enough (before 48h after the install) ● You need enough volume (Set a daily campaign budget that’s at least 50x2 your CPA target) ● Finished x levels the 1st day ● Finished the tutorial in less than x min ● Reached a score above x before day 2 Installs are outdated CO Requirements Examples of good events for optimisation
Confidential + Proprietary Proprietary + Confidential Optimise the creatives ● Video inter., Image inter. HTML5 (be careful to not make it too complex or it will lower the CTR) ● Ads showing the game play tends to deliver the best performance ● Have 2 to 3 versions of the banners ● Replace the less performing ones (CTR & Conv rate) after several weeks by iterations of the best performing ones All formats Be immersive A/B test
