Soft Launching a Mobile Game Ad Mon Perspective

  • What prompted me to want to talk about this is a Statisa article

  • Mobile Game ad spend is expected to grow to $130bn by 2025. That’s up 300% from $32 bn in 2020

  • With this amount of money being pumped into UA its safe to say

  • Mobile ad revenue will only grow and be a larger part of your overall revenue for mobile games

  • I wanted to provide a how to guide for what you as a mobile game dev should think about when soft launching and global launching your next mobile game

First Ask

  • Think of all mobile games generas on a spectrum from hypercasual to Hardcore

  • The two extremes will monetize 97% either from ads or from IAPs

  • Advice here is for the middle ground - not hyper casual or Hardcore

  • If your game genera sits in the middle of this spectrum you first need to decide which ad format to work with

  • 9/10 the ad format that works best for you are Rewarded ads

  • Rewarded ads are the undisputed king of game formats

    • Highest eCPM compared to other formats

    • Highest completion rates

    • Lowest amount of friction from users since its opt-in

    • Large competition on this inventory format from ad networks because it converts super well
