Challenge
Crazy Maple Studio found exmox in their search for a new user acquisition channel. They reached out to exmox to collaborate and expand their user base, primarily in DACH, due to our proven performance in the region.
Strategy
exmox tailored custom growth strategies to ensure Chapters: Interactive Stories’ success in DACH. For the campaigns, a variety of event types were used to maximize user engagement for Chapters: Interactive Stories books and chapters within the game.
Chapters: Interactive Stories was then strategically launched in DACH on iOS. After a successful testing period, it was soon released on Android and in the U.S. on both Android and iOS.
Results
Despite Crazy Maple Studio’s ambitious D3 ROAS target, exmox exceeded the partner’s goal by 120%. Additionally, exmox exceeded Crazy Maple Studio’s D60 ROAS goal on iOS by almost 300% and therefore ended up ranking as the top incentivised channel used by Crazy Maple Studio on Android and the second largest on iOS.
The successful results continued with volume, as exmox successfully scaled Chapters: Interactive Stories on Android in DACH by nearly 40% in the past month.
exmox also surpassed the average retention rates from all other marketing channels used by Crazy Maple Studio, demonstrating our skill and expertise used when building long-term user engagement strategies.
