How paid campaigns affect your app’s organic traffic

Explore the connection between paid campaigns and organic app growth—and how to make them work together. Nearly all apps today use paid campaigns to grow. After working with more than 95 apps over the last six years, I’ve seen how important paid traffic is—not just for driving installs but also for improving organic traffic. In the long run, organic traffic is what creates the consistent cash flow apps need to scale effectively. Paid campaigns significantly influence organic traffic, no matter the channel. Yet, paid campaigns and ASO (App Store Optimization) are often handled by separate teams. To thrive it’s essential to understand how these two areas work together. In this post, we’ll cover: Why optimizing ASO is crucial before running paid campaigns. How ASO and paid user acquisition (UA) support each other. Real-world examples of how paid campaigns can boost […]

Here is the WORST way to generate game ideas:

Here is the WORST way to generate game ideas: (avoid it at all costs)1. Open the top-grossing charts.2. Pick two random top games.3. Mash them together, Frankenstein-style.↳ Get a clunky, unplayable game, appealing to no one.Yet, I see so many studios still follow this terrible pipeline.Here’s how to do it right:𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁.Look for blue ocean opportunities:• Genres growing year over year.• Low oligopoly index (top 5 games have <50% of the market).• High success rates for newcomers (reaching 1M+ in revenue or downloads).𝟮.

2025 Mobile Games Marketing Predictions

As we enter 2025, the digital advertising and mobile gaming industries are transforming remarkably. Despite initial concerns in the post-IDFA era, there are encouraging signs of growth and opportunity, albeit on a smaller scale than many of us anticipated just a few years ago. As always, there are winners and losers, and within mobile gaming, certain genres stand out as clear frontrunners. Casino, Puzzle (Casual), and Strategy games are flourishing, with blockbuster titles like Monopoly Go and Royal Match driving incredible success. Even when factoring out these standout performers, these categories continue to experience levels of growth, propelled by a broader shift in player preferences. Post-hyper-casual, today’s gamers are seeking more engaging and robust experiences, which is evident in the shift toward casual gaming and the surging popularity of live ops in leading titles. One game I’ll be keeping a […]

How Is Your Soul Doing?

Happy New Year ✨! Let’s open the year with an important topic regarding self-leadership: Health. Last Sunday, I hosted the first women’s circle as part of my new coaching program, ORIN (more details below). We started this journey with a discussion on health, and one powerful realization emerged from the group: most of us neglect our souls when we think about health. How often do we consider our soul’s well-being when discussing taking care of ourselves? The Missing Piece in Our Health Conversation Typically, when we discuss health, we focus on mental health and physical health. Mental health usually refers to how we feel. Are we rested, calm, and content? Or are we stressed, exhausted, and overwhelmed? When we feel mentally depleted, we often try to “fix” it with rest—taking a break or going on a vacation. But do these […]

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀

🎉𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 🎉An early form of the “stacking” mechanic has been around for a while, but it caught the industry’s attention 👇 ..when Fortnite introduced its dynamic building features in 2017. Fast-forward to 2020, and we see Cube Surfer (May) and Shortcut Run (October) hitting the hyper-casual scene, both developed by Voodoo—refining and popularizing stacking in a whole new way. Early 2021 saw High Heels (Rollic) and a surge of similar stacking games dominating the top hyper-casual charts. One standout was Bridge Race by Garawell Games in partnership with Supersonic from Unity, which took stacking to the next level by adding an extra output: players collect tiles to build bridges and advance through levels. This not only resulted in 750 seconds of average playtime and 45% D1 retention but also helped drive down CPI […]
