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.
