Creative Velocity: The New Growth Lever
Creative velocity — the rate you produce and test ad creative — now determines ROAS more than targeting or bidding. The framework for 50+ variants weekly.
For App Founders
Your installs are up. Your Day 7 retention is down. Your agency doesn't track both.
We run user acquisition for mobile apps where every install is measured against retention and subscription conversion — not vanity download numbers.
Join 50+ companies that scaled with profit-led growth marketing.
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.
User acquisition measured from install to subscription.
We 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.
Senior growth engineers who's scaled app businesses from launch through millions of users. We 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.
