Overview
How a targeted mobile app marketing campaign drove 500,000 downloads in 4 months — reducing cost per install from ₹65 to just ₹18.
The Challenge
FinanceEasy had built a solid personal finance app but struggled to acquire users at scale. Their initial CPI was above ₹65 and the brand had low awareness in a crowded fintech market.
Our Strategy
Creative-led approach: produced 40+ ad creatives tested across formats
Google UAC campaigns optimised for in-app events, not just installs
Instagram Reels ads targeting young professionals aged 22–35
Deep-link retargeting to re-engage dropped-off users
ASO (App Store Optimisation) to improve organic install rates
The Results
500,000+ app installs achieved in 4 months
CPI reduced from ₹65 to ₹18 — a 72% reduction
Day-30 retention rate improved to 34% vs 12% industry average
App Store rating improved from 3.8 to 4.5
