We worked with Playio to acquire new users for their play-to-earn Android app in
Korea. As a top-grossing platform in the category, the main goal of the campaign
was to acquire active users who would play the games on the Playio’s app to earn
rewards.




RESULTS AT A GLANCE

2.5x

Campaign scaling within 3 months

73%

CPI reduction within 3 months

209%

ROAS D14 growth by week 3

> “From day one, Persona.ly’s team demonstrated a deep understanding of our
> play-to-earn model and the importance of acquiring not just users, but engaged
> players who would generate revenue. Their sophisticated ML-driven platform
> allowed us to target the right audience with remarkable precision.
> 
> What impressed us most was Persona.ly’s commitment to continuous optimization.
> They didn’t just set up the campaign and let it run – they constantly refined
> their targeting, resulting in significant improvements in the performance.”

> Ha-Young Park  – Marketing Lead at Playio




PROGRAMMATIC UA PROCESS

At the beginning of the campaign, using unattributed first-party data, we
promptly generated a lookalike audience to target. Our programmatic DSP
(demand-side platform) is integrated with all tier-1 ad exchanges. It processes
over 4 million auctions per second and analyzes over 60 data-points before
serving each impression. This allowed us to quickly gather initial data to
narrow the targeting. After the initial phase targeting wider segments, our
bidder was able to determine which segments were more likely to install the app.

During the next phase, our ML-driven engine generated a basic targeting model
focusing on app installs.

As Playio’s main goal was to acquire active users who would install the app,
create an account, and start performing in-app actions (play games, reach
milestones, complete streaks), thus generating revenue for Playio, our ML-based
targeting engine developed a unique classification model to target audiences
that would more likely to retain and generate high ROAS.

Once we were able to identify these audience segments in the bid stream, we
could safely scale the campaign while maintaining the CPI and improving ROAS.






CAMPAIGN RESULTS


CAMPAIGN SCALING AND CPI

When we started running the campaign for Playio, within the first few days, we
were able to determine which audience segments would install the app. This
allowed us to reduce the CPI by almost 60% by week 2. As we gathered enough
positive signals to target audiences who would be more active in the app, by
week 12 we scaled the campaign by 2.5 times while efficiently reducing the CPI
by 73% compared to week 1.





ROAS GROWTH

Due to the nature of the Playio app (where users are rewarded for in-app actions
like playing games), it was crucial to acquire a highly engaged audience who
would play games, thus generating revenue for Playio.Shortly after the
exploration campaign, our ML algorithm was able to determine the most prominent
placements. We used a wider contextual approach where the audience is targeted
based on multiple contextual signals such as:

 * App category: Targeting apps based on their contextual proximity to the
   promoted bundle
 * Rewarded placements: Prioritizing rewarded ad placements

Measuring Bundle loyalty — user tendency to stick to the apps they are using —
was another critical feature to shape the success of the campaign. 
As a result, we were able to triple ROAS D14 by week 3 (compared to week 1), and
achieve another 80% increase by week 17 — all while scaling the campaign and
maintaining the CPI.
