App Store OptimizationTwo years ago, a dating app founder came to us in tears. His app had gone from 50,000 monthly downloads to barely 2,000 overnight. The culprit?

data-driven app marketingHere’s a story that’ll sound familiar if you’ve been in the app game: A client came to us after burning through $50,000 on social media marketing, influencer campaigns, and PR blitzes.
