The Challenge

Finding incremental, high-ROAS growth through global expansion

Rollic manages an extensive portfolio of gaming apps. Traditionally, they’ve run country-based campaigns focused on key high-income countries with more predictable returns. 

While they knew valuable users existed in every geo, acquiring them efficiently proved challenging. Managing geo-bas ed campaigns and calibrating AI-powered user targeting for each was time and resource-intensive. However, to maximize their revenue potential, Rollic recognized the need to attract incremental users and identified global expansion as their most effective strategy.

Rollic, a subsidiary of Zynga, is a prominent mobile game publisher. Since 2018, they have launched over 200 games and achieved over 2 billion downloads.
