N3TWORK’s User Acquisition Challenges
N3TWORK, a mobile games company and developer of “Legendary: Game of Heroes” is constantly seeking innovative ways to increase return on ad spend (ROAS) as part of their user acquisition strategy. With the recent introduction of Facebook’s Messenger Ads for mobile app install, N3TWORK and Bidalgo’s media specialists saw the opportunity to tap new audiences with this new ad format.
Setting Up Messenger Ads for “Legendary”
With over 1.3 billion monthly active users worldwide, Facebook Messenger presents advertisers with a unique opportunity to engage directly with their customers. In July 2017, Facebook introduced Messenger Ads as the latest addition to their placement options. Subsequently, the ability to use Messenger ads was also available for mobile app installs.
Bidalgo’s media team, who partner with N3twork to manage UA for “Legendary: Game of Heroes”, adopted Messenger as part of its placement optimization immediately after it became available through the Facebook Ads API. Like previous top performing ads for the app, the creative for Messenger leveraged the game’s puzzle-adventure theme, and Bidalgo’s performance-driven creative insights. Meanwhile, our media buying experts used Bidalgo’s AI-powered automation to serve ads to the best performing audiences.
