Because of the hybrid revenue model, the KPIs were set for the deep funnel events\u2014IAP and ad monetization\u2014indicating user engagement in the app, with both IAP ROAS and overall ROAS being KPIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Results at a glance:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-7 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>x1.8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">FTD CVR on M3 higher vs M1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>40%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">D30 ROAS higher on M3 vs M1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>>100%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Campaign recoup by month 3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we started running the campaign for Alien Invasion, we utilized first-party data to build a lookalike audience and target users similar to the current app users. Within the first couple weeks of running the campaign, our machine-learning algorithm was able to identify which users would click on ads and install the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once enough data was gathered for our programmatic bidder to build a basic logic model to target users based on installs, our in-house DSP moved to the next campaign phase: building a unique classification model to target more engaged users. One of the key challenges was to sift through millions of users interested in various idle genres and acquire those with a higher probability of becoming engaged Alien Invasion users.\u00a0<br>For hybrid-casual games, it\u2019s especially critical to the app\u2019s success to be able to engage users for a long period of time and keep a high retention rate. In other words, to both retain paying users and monetize those who prefer to see ads to gain the in-app perks or continue playing the game. Thanks to Adjust\u2019s user-level ad revenue feature we were able to gain data on which user cohorts are more likely to watch ads to retain and accelerate their progress in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our algorithm was able to divide users into <strong>three groups<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>users who would make in-game purchases; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>users who would not make purchases but would engage with the game and watch a significant amount of ads; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>users who wouldn\u2019t engage with the app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With these groups defined, our bidder started factoring the audience segments with a higher probability of becoming engaged users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the right segments of users were defined, we were able to further expedite the campaign to leverage the overall ROAS and acquire highly engaged audiences with a high LTV. These are the audiences we determined would either make purchases or watch ads to gain in-app perks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Campaign results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Cost recoup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being an ML-based DSP and processing over 2.5M ad requests per second, we quickly gained a significant number of positive signals. These signals allowed the model to kick off its learning to identify which user groups would click the ad and install the app. Once our algorithm received enough signals to define which user segments would perform the deep-funnel events (make purchases or become ad-whales), our in-house bidder started factoring those audiences higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-10 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FTD-CVR-relative-and-D30-ROAS-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"406\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/FTD-CVR-relative-and-D30-ROAS-1.png\" alt=\"FTD-CVR-relative-and-D30-ROAS-1\" class=\"wp-image-3095\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">By month 2 targeting highly engaged users, we increased the FTD (first-time deposit) CVR (conversion rate) by 65% and the D30 ROAS by 40% vs. month 1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Further campaign exploration led to ongoing FTD CVR and D30 ROAS increases and campaign cost recoup by month 3.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cost-recoup-by-month-3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"687\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/persona.ly\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cost-recoup-by-month-3.png\" alt=\"Cost-recoup-by-month-3\" class=\"wp-image-3096\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Hybrid in-app monetization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By using multi-dimensional targeting focusing on engaged users who either had the potential of making in-app purchases or watching a significant amount of ads, we were able to target the engaged users interested in the genre.
