The Challenge
Unico’s nimble team needed a partner to create engaging ads that would convert well and scale so they can focus on building and improving new games.
Unico is small, and the creative team is often focused on game design and new features. As a result, Unico doesn’t have bandwidth to create, test, analyze, and iterate playable ads each week to keep their CPIs low and spend volume high.
The Solution
To achieve their goals, Unico turned to SparkLabs to optimize their growth strategy.
AppLovin’s SparkLabs created a top-performing playable for Unico, which ultimately had a large, positive impact on their bottom line. With the partnership of SparkLabs, Unico received data-driven, timely support, and feedback on every step of their creative journey.
The Results
Quality playable ads developed by SparkLabs boosted Unico’s install rates and doubled their install volume.1
The SparkLabs team introduced Unico to user-level ad revenue attribution so their user acquisition teams were able to use data to optimize their campaigns at the source level.
In Summary
Revenue increase
With the expertise of SparkLabs, Unico was able to test and utilize new top-performing playables — doubling install volume and boosting install rates by 35%.1
Time saved
Unico spends less time developing creatives and managing campaigns, which allows the team to focus on improving gameplay, retention, and life-time value.
With the new playable ads created by the SparkLabs team, we have seen better conversion rates than ever before and were able to lower our bids while increasing spend.
It’s a challenge to break into the top games, so we needed to be efficient and mindful of key KPIs like cost per install and install per mille to give us an edge above the competition.
