Process

When we started working together with OctaFX, we focused on gauging which post-install events to model towards gradually to eventually acquire high-value users consistently.

Together with the OctaFX team and based on their data and experience with non-programmatic channels, we’ve tested a variety of model setups and eventually saw the most traction from focusing on ‘Account Generation’, one of the first steps in the apps’ funnel, but one that correlates well with initial deposits.

Within a few weeks, our team was able to drive campaigns that doubled initial install volume while increasing the target conversion rates significantly. And within an additional couple of months, we were able to produce both early and deep funnel conversion rates that surpass the KPI and benchmarks from other UA channels.

Campaign Results

W1 – W5 Campaign Progress

Within a month of starting campaigns, the install volume per week increased x2, all the while conversion rates towards the initially targeted funnel event of Account Generation improved by 50%.

When enough sample was collected, our machine-learning models were able to classify between non-paying users, active traders, and frequent traders effectively.

As soon as we could apply it, targeting was focused on users with higher potential to become frequent traders, which lead to extremely effective acquisition, with users converting in very high rates (83%) in the deeper funnel events, and recouping 50% of their FTD cost within 30 days of installing due to a high volume of transactions in their initial weeks of usage.
