The challenge

An independent music studio wanted more people to see new music releases, in India, Indonesia, Philippines, without a big media budget or a marketing team running it every day.

What they did

  • Ran 65 campaigns on Push and Native, split by offer and country.
  • Used a fixed price, so every impression cost the same and the budget was fully predictable.
  • Capped frequency on 63 of 65 campaigns so the same person didn't see the ad too often.
