AGN scope of work included setting up ASA and ASO campaigns from scratch for a number of regions such as US, Canada, UK. They are also involved in the decision we make for media buying to identify the best way to grow our app.

My two main points of contact were Hector (Business Creative & Growth Hacker, App Growth Network) and Fouad (CEO, Analytics Guru & Growth Marketer, App Growth Network), but I know that there were more people working on the team.

We worked together between September–December 2019.

For what projects/services did your company hire App Growth Network?
We hired app growth network to acquire new users via digital media channels. We used some marketing tools before and some freelancer before but we never really convinced we wanted something professional efficient. We wanted to test different platforms like Facebook and Snapchat and Instagram yet increase our install rates as well as decrease our CPI
What were your goals for this project?
Our goal was to increase our app in stalls drastically but also test different markets and obviously decrease our cost per installs
How did you select this vendor?
We were referred by our VC that funded our Seed round
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
So the project was very clear we set clear KPI‘s in the very beginning and we wanted to test three different platforms Snapchat Instagram Facebook + create and submit new creatives every 2 Weeks to drive installs and decrease CPI.
We also worked a lot with ASA and ASO to optimize our Apple Store presence. It was great to work together and discuss different types of creative as well as look at how to improve conversion and also maintain our CPI little while growin in instal’s
What was the team composition?
Hector was our main contact and any work sometimes with Fay as well that was a gen z expert that could help us for the content but it was mostly Hector and I working together on this with solal from our team that was just tracking numbers
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Well the outcome is that we decrease CPI by 73% which is a great start. We also were able to automate a lot of the processes and report more efficiently. We now know which asset and creative work better. We also have a better idea of how much our users cost us in different markets.

They're super effective, with nearly 24/7 response and contact.

App Store Optimization for Communications Firm
"We know we can trust App Growth Networks's counsel and the results they produce."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I oversee marketing services for a PR & Marketing agency. We focus on aligning brands with their markets, and often serve as strategic counsel to our clients as they take their companies to the next level. This means becoming more strategic in their marketing and messaging, and occasionally leveraging channels with which they are unfamailiar.
For what projects/services did your company hire App Growth Network?
We continue to work with App Growth Network as they optimize all possible levers to increase downloads and activations for a client's mobile app. We count on them to provide operational guidance on how to stage the app for success, tactical direction on where to focus marketing activities, and executional implementation of bidding and keywords in the key marketplaces.
What were your goals for this project?
The baseline goals were to increase downloads by 25% MoM and reduce CPIs by 30%.
How did you select this vendor?
I had previously worked with the CEO and knew first-hand his expertise in mobile acquisition strategy and tactics. What I didn't know was what kind of team he had built since then, how well he had managed to infuse his organization with his expertise, or how much they might shared his passion.
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
This project involves every aspect of ASO: product descriptions, listing graphics, keyword selection and bidding, competitive performance tracking, basic analytics, and more. They have been managing the day-to-day activities directly as well as providing routine strategic counsel. We have yet to leverage their more advanced analytics and behavior tracking, but we know it's there.
What was the team composition?
We have a primary Account Executive (who is awesome) for the day-to-day, and the CEO joins the regular strategy sessions. We have also started conversations with their advanced analytics lead as we look ahead to optimizing the campaign further.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The app went from #40 to #20 in the first week, and broke into the top 10 in the first 30 days. Downloads have doubled. Even more importantly, the activations have doubled while the CPI has been cut in half.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
AGN operates like an extension of our agency. Communications are always candid and clear. We share a desire to see that the client succeeds and that we exceed their expectations. We really feel like their team are colleagues who share our values.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
In a word: Integrity. The mobile app world is kind of the wild west, with lots of dark corners, bogus metrics, and questionable practices. AGN is savvy to all those challenges, but works at a level above them. We know we can trust App Growth Networks's counsel and the results they produce.
Are there any areas for improvement?
AGN is growing fast and going fast (as they deserve). So things can feel a little loose at times. Since we're an agency too, we get it. And AGN is aware of this, so this will undoubtedly improve

Marketing & Strategy for Productivity App Startup
“They brought enthusiasm to the development.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the president of a small startup focused on developing a health and productivity app.
What challenge were you trying to address with App Growth Network?
I had a lack of knowledge when it came to optimizing my marketing operations. We needed help managing the technical aspects of getting up marketing platforms.
What was the scope of their involvement?
From soup to nuts, they developed a marketing and advertising strategy. To start, we did plenty of brainstorming together on how to focus the money we spent to gain conversions. In that effort, they helped us understand what’s important in the current marketplace and how to appeal to different focus groups.
In addition to strategy, the team worked out the mechanics of setting up accounts for Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Apple Search Ads. They helped with the technical implementation of their strategy. In the end, they walked me all the way through the initial launch.
After creating and delivering the ads, they helped with Apple Search optimization (ASO) and SEO for the website. The team also did an examination of our keywords to refocus on target audiences.
What is the team composition?
We worked with Jennifer (Customer Success Manager, App Growth Network) and Michaela (Growth Manager, App Growth Network).
How did you come to work with App Growth Network?
I visited a website that provided ratings and reviews on various marketing companies and selected a few to reach out to. Their president was very responsive, so I went with them.
How much have you invested with them?
We've spent under $10,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in April 2019, and the collaboration is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’re still in the early stages since the app launched in the summer of 2019. At this point, we have a little more than 1,000 downloads, which has allowed us to get enough data points to do additional analysis of our target groups.
App Growth Network has helped with each step of that process. Now, they’re providing feedback based on those insights to improve the app. So far, they’ve suggested incorporating a backend server into our operation, so we have the ability to engage more with customers and collect in-app reviews.
I’m quite satisfied with what they’ve accomplished. It’s an interactive process, so I’m looking forward to working through this with them. They’ve met all our goals so far.
How did App Growth Network perform from a project management standpoint?
Their team was creative, friendly, and helpful. We had a few technical challenges with starting the Facebook ads, but they definitely met the extended deadlines I gave them for that.
Our teams collaborate through Asana, and they’ve been responsive to video teleconferences and email as well. Their communication has been impressive. They’re honest, upfront, accurate, and timely in their engagements with us.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They brought enthusiasm to the development. I appreciated that. They put in the effort to understand exactly what we wanted and what the solution was supposed to accomplish. I felt like they cared about our team.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could provide more of their own ideas proactively. However, I’m pretty happy with everything they’ve produced.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have as much communication with them as possible. They’re very responsive and happy to jump on teleconferences or email chains. Their team adapted well to our communication limitations, including time zone differences.

I am the CEO of Sentry Parental Control. Sentry is helping parents protect their children while they use smartphones. Sentry monitors the content created or received on the mobile device and notifies parents if suspicious content is detected.
For what projects/services did your company hire App Growth Network?
The goal was and still is to help the user acquisition process. Which means ASO, content marketing, help with Google Ads campaigns and general guidance on the marketing strategy.
What were your goals for this project?
Optimize and reduce the cost of user acquisition. Find new channels for advertising.
How did you select this vendor?
I was actively looking for an agency, but eventually, I answered a cold email from AGN and fell in love with the people there.
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
After several Skype calls (we are on different continents) AGN has asked me many questions and asked to me to do homework, so them and I will have a better understanding of what is the current situation and what are the challenges ahead. After that, they have sent me a detailed plan of what needs to be done and their prices. They also offer to be a part of their network, which is a great bonus.
What was the team composition?
I was in contact with the founder and several key members of the team. I am not sure who actually done the work, but I do know that the management could answer all the needed questions I had
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
While I can't discuss the metrics, I can mention that we had a significant increase in downloads and conversion rates.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The workflow was very straight forward. The response time was amazing (despite the 10hr difference) and we communicated mainly via emails.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They have a huge experience in the apps marketing world. I've spoken with many agencies who claim to know all there is to know, but when it comes down to business, app promotion is different from web marketing or any other industry. AGN knows its way not only in ASO but in analytics, funnels, and many more required fields of expertise.
Are there any areas for improvement?
I would always be happy to pay less, but I guess when you want high-quality service, the price will always be the same level

Are there any areas for improvement?
It would be great if AGN also focused on the business aspects of their client's product and provided consulting services. That would help them become a one-stop shop for both marketing and business development.
The client's engagement has been phenomenal ever since App Growth Network took over the project. They are also responsive, dedicated, and approachable. Overall, their comprehensive growth digital marketing solutions secures their ongoing collaboration.
