We found the ad format that could demonstrate the keystones of our Live Wallpapers Now app―brightness, motion and high resolution. So we unleashed the potential of short vertical videos to engage new valuable users globally. Using full-screen video ads gave us a 1.5X increase in the click-to-install rate while lowering subscriber costs by 50% at the same time.

THE SOLUTION
Creating the perfect ad

Using a combination of placements, including ads in Instagram feed and Stories, Facebook News Feed, Audience Network and Messenger, the app developer ran over 100 different ad creative executions to see which would perform best. After precisely defining its target groups, Zephyrmobile showed the ads to men and women in top markets who were interested in wallpapers, shopping and entertainment.

In just three months from the start of the campaign, with ads in Instagram Stories alone, Zephyrmobile was able to increase its click-to-install conversion rate by 50% and lower its cost per subscriber by 50%. It also saw a 1.3X return on ad spend with ads in Stories.
