AppSamurai and Adjust grew D28 ROAS to 107% for APPS

APPS aimed to boost session lengths and drive more in-app purchases (IAPs) for their game Drill and Collect. To do so, they needed robust analytics to reach the right audience. This led them to seek the expertise of mobile measurement partner (MMP) Adjust and mobile user acquisition platform AppSamurai for advanced targeting and analytics solutions.

First, the team endeavored to reach engaged mobile gamers through the ‘rewarded playtime’ user acquisition (UA) model, also known as the ‘play-to-earn’ model. This model rewards players based on their session length, encouraging dedicated users to immerse themselves in the game.

AppSamurai’s team of growth consultants planned a variety of campaign strategies to help APPS reach their cost-per-action (CPA) KPI while yielding a strong return on ad spend (ROAS). This was achieved through precise demographic targeting of the audience.

In conjunction, APPS leveraged Adjust’s ad spend automation tool to significantly enhance the efficiency of their marketing optimization. This tool allowed APPS to leverage powerful rules to automatically update campaign bids and budgets based on their specific ROAS targets, enabling them to optimize spend instantly and free up valuable resources.

Moreover, Adjust’s next-generation tools provided the detailed analytics and reporting APPS needed in order to reach the right audience. APPS was able to leverage Adjust to gain deep insights into the performance of their campaigns, identifying which strategies are most effective and where adjustments are needed. This continuous feedback loop is crucial for fine-tuning campaign strategies to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

With the help of Adjust and AppSamurai, APPS was able to:

• Elevate D28 ROAS to 107%.
• Increase higher-level completion rate by 2x.

These outstanding results have presented APPS with a strategic opportunity to captivate and engage players for sustainable, scalable success.
