For App Founders
I run user acquisition for mobile apps where every install is measured against retention and subscription conversion — not vanity download numbers.

Your agency reports cost-per-install like it means something. But 60% of your installs never open the app twice. Your CPI looks great on their dashboard. Your subscription conversion rate tells a different story.
They're running the same broad Meta campaigns they use for e-commerce brands. No app event optimization. No post-install funnel tracking. No creative testing against Day 7 retention. They've never looked at your App Store Connect or Play Console data.
SKAdNetwork broke their attribution and they never adapted. They're still reporting on last-click installs while Apple limits their conversion windows to 24 hours. Your actual user acquisition cost is 3x what their dashboard says.
They count downloads. You need subscribers.
I optimize app UA around the metric that actually matters — cost per paying subscriber. Not CPI. Not Day 1 opens. The cost of acquiring a user who converts to a paid subscription and retains past the free trial.
SKAdNetwork-native attribution. App event optimization on Meta and Google that targets high-value in-app actions, not just installs. Apple Search Ads capturing users with the highest intent. Creative testing against retention cohorts, not download volume.
One operator who's scaled app businesses from launch through millions of users. I understand subscription funnels, trial-to-paid conversion, paywall optimization, and why a $5 install that converts at 15% beats a $0.50 install that never opens the app again.

Aligned to paying subscribers, not installs.
User acquisition. Retention tracking. Subscription optimization.
App event-optimized campaigns targeting trial starts, subscriptions, and high-value in-app actions — not just installs.
Brand, competitor, and category keyword campaigns capturing the highest-intent users in the App Store. Search tab and Today tab placements.
Universal App Campaigns across Search, Play, YouTube, and Display. Optimized for in-app events that predict subscription conversion.
Privacy-first attribution that works within Apple's framework. Conversion value mapping, postback analysis, and probabilistic modeling where needed.
App Store screenshots, preview videos, and ad creative tested against retention cohorts — not just install rates. 30+ creative variants per month.
Install → onboarding → trial → subscription → retention. Every step tracked by acquisition source. See which campaigns bring users who pay and stay.
Fast onboarding. Retention clarity. Subscribers that convert.
I map your install-to-subscription funnel, retention cohorts, and current attribution gaps. You get clarity on what a paying subscriber actually costs — and where users drop off.
SKAdNetwork conversion value setup, MMP configuration, and a dashboard showing cost per subscriber by campaign — not just cost per install.
Campaigns go live across Meta, Apple Search Ads, and Google. Daily optimization against subscription events. Weekly async updates via Slack and Loom.
Kill campaigns that drive installs but not subscriptions. Scale channels with the best trial-to-paid rates. Feed subscriber signals back into targeting. LTV compounds as retention improves.
