"For games in my genre, there is no stronger rocket fuel." That's Josh Chandley, President and COO of WildCard Games, on what AppLovin has done for their business. Mobile gamers aren't a niche. They're everyday Americans: the 45-year-old software engineer playing cribbage, the mom on Candy Crush, the commuter on Solitaire. They buy shoes, cosmetics, apparel, and hardware. They just happen to also play games. For WildCard, that's meant stronger performance, lower retention costs, and as Josh puts it, the ability to "serve their users better."

A few snaps from @beanstalkHQ in NYC. 📸 Adam did a fireside chat with @oliviaakory (@HausAnalytics) and Rohan Shah (Extend). Sam Appelbaum (@Sam18836) led a boardroom discussion with advertisers. And ROAS Stacker, our mobile game, had people chasing high scores. Thanks to all who came out, and to the Beanstalk team!

The Pets Table came in skeptical. We respect that. They ran an incrementality test with @HausAnalytics to verify our numbers. We love that even more. The results? Truly incremental, strong customer quality. "I'm definitely going to have AppLovin as part of my marketing mix." — Dovas Zakas, Co-Founder & CMO, The Pets Table. #DTC #ecommerce #performancemarketing

3 weeks into AppLovin on a new brand. 600+ creatives uploaded and tested. Spend up 10x. And they're already hitting target. NC ROAS is 30% higher than Meta. What other channel does that in 3 weeks???? We're building a real second acquisition channel next to it. Same CAC discipline, different inventory, buyers Meta wasn't reaching and their CPA even went down. The shit I hear every day: "I just don't think my customer is on here." Well guess what. The buyers we're picking up on AppLovin aren't the same people converting on Meta. That's the whole point. The moment is different too. Your ad lands between levels, full screen, while they're actually enjoying themselves. Not buried in a doomscroll of brain rot with Sydney Sweeney saying "sports" on loop. Nobody's scrolling past you. We're 3 weeks in and just getting started. I love it when brands don't believe me and I prove them wrong. #AppLovin #Shopify #MetaAds #DTC #EcommerceMarketing #ROAS

Final Update: $1M Day. @ecom_rg & I did it again. I literally brought you with me through a weekend of scaling. Will do the same again but a lot more detailed next time. @AppLovin carried about 200k/day spend, again with higher Roas than meta on all attribution models. Ask anything under the post, i’ll answer it.
Update: 40% Up. Idk why it didn’t kick in during the night time as much but definitely started spending crazy in the morning USA hours. Btw i also heavily dayscaled Applovin. Works better than meta in my opinion as the increase ( & decrease ) in budgets are felt way quicker.

I just had lunch with a founder who is coming on the show soon. He told me Applovin is crushing for them. Then immediately after said: “Can’t talk about that on the podcast. Don’t want my competitors to know.”
