OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Admiral Media?

We hired Admiral Media to set up and manage App & Web performance marketing campaigns for two brands in our portfolio - served in 3 languages - English, Spanish and Portuguese.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We came across Admiral Media by recommendation. During the initial project set-up discussion, we knew they would be able to handle our needs: active monitoring of scaling and diversification from FB channels, active involvement around marketing analytics and creatives strategy, balance mobile and web acquisition, and cross-brand optimization.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Admiral was responsible for setting up our App & Web marketing campaigns across Apple Search Ads, Facebook, Google & TikTok - which they did great. The team went out of their way to help us identify issues with our internal reporting and provided feedback regularly, working with our BI team to streamline reports.

One of the main tasks was to reduce our dependency on Facebook, and scale up Apple Search Ads and Google UAC & Web campaigns that started outperforming Facebook after some time. Admiral also helped us identify gaps in our tracking setup, which was crucial to achieving the results we hoped to achieve.

What was the team composition?

A total of five people worked with us, including one client lead, three-channel managers, and 1 data analyst. They always have additional resources whenever required to provide additional support/backup.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Now we are not heavily dependent on Facebook as our Apple Search Ads & Google UAC & Web campaigns have started delivering the desired outcomes. We were also able to scale our spending while improving our CPx and ROAS over time, thanks to the professional campaign management & analytical approach of Team Admiral.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Given the scale of our operations, reports & team, there were some initial hiccups in establishing the sync between our teams. Soon the teams started working seamlessly with each other, leading to fewer meetings with productive outcomes.

We had a team in Ukraine, and due to the war, we decided we would keep both teams but agreed with the Ukrainian team we could not depend operationally on them, which required an uncommon approach in managing the shared responsibilities. Admiral was constructive and professional.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Responsiveness to our business requirements. They always took the challenges head-on and worked in the direction we requested. From campaign management, creative inputs, and data analysis to identifying bugs in our internal reports - they worked as an extension of our team in identifying ways to achieve the desired results.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

It is our desire to move more acquisition traffic to the web for that we need better integration of data reported to the different systems and algorithms. Offering development services for marketing-related topics would be nice to have.
