The challenge
A neobank wanted more people to see free account openings, in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, without a big media budget or a marketing team running it every day.
What they did
- Ran 38 campaigns on Native and 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 28 of 38 campaigns.
- Kept spend on proven placements with an allow list on 11 of 38 campaigns.
- Used day-parting on 25 of 38 campaigns to run only in the best hours.
- Adjusted bids per traffic source with Source Bids on 15 of 38 campaigns.
