By analyzing behavioral data and applying lookalike modeling, we ensured maximum relevance for each impression, install, and registration, driving engagement with the most promising users.

Dynamic Creatives
We developed programmatically optimized banners and creatives that dynamically adjusted messaging based on user behavior and preferences, ensuring higher engagement and improved click-through rates.
03
In-App Traffic Optimization
By leveraging premium in-app inventory, we secured high-quality traffic with minimal fraud risk. We also targeted poker players with high lifetime value, specifically in key states and cities, while avoiding low-performing sources and users with lower retention potential.

We focused on optimizing the post-install journey, fine-tuning campaigns to drive a high registration-to-deposit conversion rate, further increasing the overall success of the campaign.
