Designed for privacy-era tracking

Mobile advertising is harder when signal is limited. We build measurement that supports decisions in a privacy-first world, using cohort-based reporting and platform-safe attribution approaches. You get clarity on what is driving value, even when last-click is unreliable. This prevents over-scaling channels that deliver cheap installs but weak retention, and keeps investment focused on profitable cohorts.

Full-funnel app advertising

An app advertising agency should do more than buy media. We run full-funnel mobile growth: paid user acquisition, app store conversion, attribution, and retention programs that improve LTV. The work starts with clear goals and guardrails like CPI, CPA, payback and ROAS by cohort. From there we build a testing roadmap that connects creative, targeting and in-app experience, so you scale installs that actually retain and monetise.

Unit economics by cohort

Define CPI and CPA targets alongside 7, 30 and 90 day retention and LTV. Scale only when payback and ROAS are strong by channel, not just in blended reporting.

Attribution and measurement setup

Implement privacy-safe measurement using an MMP where needed and align events across iOS and Android. Use SKAdNetwork outputs, modelled signals and cohort analysis to guide spend.

Creative and funnel alignment

Match ad promise to app store page and onboarding so users get what they expected. This reduces post-click drop-off and improves the quality of acquired cohorts.

Paid UA across platforms

We run app user acquisition across Apple Search Ads, Google App campaigns, Meta, TikTok, Snap and other channels when they fit your audience. Campaigns are structured for readable learning: separate geo, audience and creative tests with clear success metrics. We use deep links and deferred deep links where appropriate to keep journeys consistent from ad to app. Budget is moved based on cohort quality, not only top-line CPI.

Apple Search Ads strategy

Capture high-intent users searching for solutions like yours. Build keyword and match-type structure, manage brand and competitor coverage, and optimise toward downstream events not just installs.

Meta and TikTok acquisition

Test creative angles and audiences quickly using structured experiments. Scale winning combinations while tracking retention and revenue by cohort, so volume does not hide churn.

Retargeting and reactivation

Build audiences from in-app behaviour and run retargeting that reflects where users dropped off. Improve efficiency by turning previous intent into re-engagement and conversions.

Scale UA

ASO and retention growth

Paid growth scales faster when app store and retention are optimised. We improve app store conversion through metadata, creative testing and competitor gap analysis, then connect those learnings back into paid campaigns. Post-install, we build lifecycle journeys across push, in-app and email to improve retention and subscription conversion. The outcome is higher LTV, which gives your UA more room to scale profitably.

App Store conversion optimisation

Improve icon, screenshots and preview video to match what users care about. Test variations to lift page conversion and reduce wasted spend from users who do not install.

Keyword and category strategy

Research high-intent ASO keywords, map them to features and benefits, and optimise titles and descriptions. Track rank movement and conversion so growth is measurable.

Lifecycle and subscription optimisation

Build segmented lifecycle flows that improve activation, reduce churn and increase upgrade rate. Test trial prompts, paywall timing and win-back journeys while protecting retention.

Improve LTV

Creative testing at volume

App advertising performance is often constrained by creative, not targeting. We run a creative testing engine that produces and iterates assets weekly, including UGC-style videos, static and motion formats, and app feature demos. We align creative with the app store page and onboarding so conversion improves end to end. Unlimited ad creative production is included, which keeps learning fast and reduces fatigue risk.

Agency incentives that stay aligned

Many app advertisers overpay through fees tied to spend, which pushes budgets up before unit economics are proven. We charge no commission on your ad spend and focus on clear performance outcomes like payback and LTV by cohort. Engagements are monthly rolling, which keeps accountability high and gives you flexibility as you scale. You also get a dashboard so progress is visible without chasing updates.

What does an app advertising agency do beyond buying ads?
A strong app advertising agency manages the full funnel: paid user acquisition, app store conversion, attribution, and post-install retention and monetisation. The goal is not only more installs, but better cohorts that retain and generate revenue. That means aligning creative, targeting and the in-app journey, then running structured tests. You should expect clear reporting on CPI or CPA alongside retention, LTV and payback.
Which channels are best for app user acquisition?
Channel choice depends on your category and unit economics, but common platforms include Apple Search Ads for high-intent users, Google App campaigns for scale, and Meta or TikTok for creative-led acquisition. Snap and other channels can be strong for certain demographics. We test across channels with clear success metrics and compare cohorts over time. This avoids scaling the cheapest installs if they churn quickly.
How do you measure iOS performance with limited attribution?
We use privacy-safe measurement approaches that combine platform reporting with cohort analysis. Where an MMP is in place, we align event tracking and reporting so you can compare performance by channel and campaign. Instead of relying on last-click, we focus on downstream value signals like retention and revenue by cohort. This supports confident budgeting even when attribution is incomplete.
Do you support App Store Optimization and store page testing?
Yes. ASO improves organic discovery and, just as importantly, improves store page conversion which makes paid acquisition more efficient. We optimise metadata, keyword strategy, screenshots and preview video, then test variations to lift conversion. We also connect ASO learnings back into paid creative and messaging. When store conversion improves, CPI often drops without changing bids because fewer users leak at the store step.
What is your approach to creative for app ads?
We treat creative as the main growth lever. We build a pipeline of concepts and iterate weekly across UGC-style videos, feature demos, static and motion formats, and direct-response angles. We also ensure the ad promise matches the app store page and onboarding. That consistency reduces post-click drop-off and improves cohort quality, which matters more than a low CPI on paper.
How do you avoid scaling installs that do not retain?
We monitor performance by cohort and by time window, typically looking at early retention and 30 to 90 day value signals. Spend is scaled only when retention and payback meet agreed guardrails. If a channel produces volume but weak cohorts, we adjust creative, targeting and onboarding alignment before increasing budget. This prevents growth that looks good in dashboards but fails in revenue.
Can you help with retention marketing and subscriptions?
Yes. We build lifecycle programs across push, in-app and email that improve activation, reduce churn and increase upgrades. Segmentation is based on behaviour and value, so users get relevant messaging rather than generic blasts. For subscriptions, we test trial flows, paywall timing, and win-back journeys with retention guardrails. The goal is higher LTV so UA can scale profitably.
What should we prepare before starting with your team?
We need access to your ad accounts, analytics and any attribution tooling, plus clarity on your key events and revenue model. We also align on unit economics targets such as CPI, CPA, payback and LTV by cohort. If tracking is incomplete, we start by fixing measurement so optimisation decisions are reliable. From there we build the first test backlog and begin creative and campaign iteration quickly.
Why choose Growthcurve as your app advertising agency?

Unlimited creative production is included, and we do not charge commission on your ad spend. Engagements are monthly rolling, and you get transparent reporting through a real-time dashboard. That combination helps you move fast, stay accountable, and scale profitable cohorts.
