How does Appvertiser AI manage user acquisition across 13+ ad networks simultaneously?
Appvertiser AI uses a combination of keyword-level ROAS tracking, structured ad group management, and real-time reporting across all channels. For Skillz, this approach enabled the team to manage $2.1M+ in spend across 13 networks while maintaining +32.14% D180 ROAS.
What is D180 ROAS and why does it matter for gaming UA?
D180 ROAS measures the return on ad spend 180 days after user acquisition. For gaming apps — especially skill-based platforms like Skillz where player lifetime value builds over months — D180 ROAS is a more accurate indicator of campaign profitability than short-term metrics like D7 ROAS.
Can Appvertiser AI help with multi-channel gaming UA at scale?
Yes. Appvertiser AI has experience managing complex multi-channel gaming UA operations across 13+ networks. For Skillz, we managed the full media mix including Moloco, AppLovin, Unity, Meta, ironSource, and Apple Search Ads across both iOS and Android in the US and UK.
