The challenge

The approach

To achieve their goal, they collaborated closely with Google AdMob to launch a strategic A/B test. By evaluating AdMob Mediation against their previous solution and integrating a broad field of competitive bidders, they successfully maximized the price realized for their ad impressions. This switch directly contributed to significant performance gains, including a substantial lift in ARPDAU (Average Revenue Per Daily Active User) and a healthier in-app purchase rate - boosting revenue without compromising player retention.
