This document discusses how to maximize user acquisition campaigns using Unity's Audience Pinpointer tool. It explains that Audience Pinpointer uses machine learning to target users at the individual level and optimize bids based on predicted user value metrics like retention and return on ad spend (ROAS). The document provides best practices for setting up retention and ROAS campaigns with Audience Pinpointer, including targeting realistic goals and having sufficient historical user data. It also outlines the process for getting started with Audience Pinpointer campaigns by passing user data to Unity for modeling.

15. Best Practices

16. 16
Best Practices: The Do’s
More Events, More
Results
100 events are ideal from a
data science perspective
and the more events the
better for continuing to
scale and prediction
accuracy.
Realistic
Targets
ROAS targets should be
similar to what has been
observed in previous static
campaigns.
Factor in
LAT
Since we are targeting on
user level, we do not
target/predict LAT users.
This should be factored in
when setting ROAS on iOS.

17. 17
Best Practices: The Don’ts
Low settings
Don’t set Max CPI or daily
caps too low as that will
potentially limit scale
Blacklisting &
Whitelisting
Not recommended to
blacklist or whitelist for
Audience Pinpointer. Since
we are bidding per user,
limiting sources may take
away chances to win
valuable impressions*
*You can
whitelist/blacklist if you
must
Imbalance of ROAS
to CPI for Scale
The higher the ROAS
target, the lower the CPI
which can significantly
reduce scale

Data needed for Audience Pinpointer campaigns
Retention ROAS
*300 installs per geo,
per platform in the last
30 days
*100 depositors per
geo, per platform in the
last 60 days
*These numbers are ideal
from a date science
perspective, however can
go live with less data.
