The challenge

A crypto exchange wanted more people to see new trader sign-ups, in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, without a big media budget or a marketing team running it every day.

What they did

Ran 30 campaigns on Push, split by offer and country.
Used Smart pricing: PPCmate set the price per impression automatically to win the right traffic.
Capped frequency on all campaigns so the same person didn't see the ad too often.
Blocked weak placements with a block list on 23 of 30 campaigns.
Kept spend on proven placements with an allow list on 4 of 30 campaigns.
Used day-parting on 21 of 30 campaigns to run only in the best hours.
Adjusted bids per traffic source with Source Bids on 15 of 30 campaigns.
