My identify is Jeremy Widdowson, I’m working at Rovio at present as a efficiency advertising and marketing supervisor.

How do you assist your app keep related?

Proper, I imply there’s so many combos there. Like, we’ve unbelievable recreation groups. We now have unbelievable individuals engaged on the model. A giant factor for us is that we acknowledge that Offended Birds is a big model. And it’s positively an excellent driver for us. However there’s loads of different concepts exterior of the Offended Birds IP. 

So testing out totally different recreation sorts, totally different narratives, completely totally different characters in numerous universes. That is the type of factor we use to drive progress. We’re all the time kinda difficult what we’ve. It’s superb that we’ve such an amazing model and such a recognizable model however we don’t wish to get snug with that both so we’re all the time making an attempt new issues.

However that’s like one of many cool issues right here at Rovio the place it’s in our core values to be daring.

What are the professionals and cons of a extremely recognizable model?

It’s positively a double-edged sword. If we have been possibly a much less recognized model we might get much more dangerous with our creatives for instance. There’s not so many tips we’d have to comply with, not saying there are loads of tips, however it must make sense within the Offended Birds universe. So there’s limitation there, however on the flip facet, as a result of it’s fairly extremely acknowledged,  we might simply have a static of like Purple the Offended Fowl simply in like a show advert and it’s gonna work fairly properly as a result of it has that immediate recognition so in that sense it’s nice.

What ought to app entrepreneurs give attention to in 2022?

We’re nonetheless within the trenches with ATT and type of determining what to do, find out how to do it properly. However with that in thoughts, if we’ve much less visibility into loads of issues and kinda much less optimization levers that we are able to actually pull. It signifies that creatives are gonna be much more vital than they’ve been. 

The extra we perceive the supply algorithm and the precise machine studying behind it, I believe the higher we’re gonna go. It’s simpler mentioned than carried out. However that’s, in my view, the following huge step.

If we are able to nail understanding how creatives are delivered, we’re gonna be doing tremendous properly. And I believe that’s recommendation for anybody in advertising and marketing, not even efficiency advertising and marketing. It’s actually understanding the influence of creatives.

What do you do when your marketing campaign doesn’t work?

I really feel like more often than not it doesn’t work. There’s solely a lot you possibly can actually do which is tremendous totally different from anybody else and loads of the time the rationale it’s tremendous totally different from what anybody else is doing is as a result of another person had tried it and it simply didn’t work.

And naturally, we have to preserve some type of secrecy and we don’t wish to inform different video games studios what we’re doing, what labored, and what didn’t work.

It is advisable to determine it out by making an attempt and that sort chalks it as much as simply studying. Doc it properly, talk it properly. You possibly can actually be taught out of your failures and that kinda feeds this progress mindset.
