Our take

The success of a mobile app depends on successful user acquisition, a process that is conducted through marketing campaigns. Whilst many digital marketing solutions are available to help make this happen, the users they bring are often temporary due to them not falling within the company's target audience.

AppSamurai provides a mobile app growth platform, leveraging AI-driven user acquisition and custom marketing solutions to bring new long-term users to mobile application providers. Campaigns are created based on the goals, audience targeting, and KPIs of app providers, and are augmented through partnerships with OEMs, recommendation engines, and rewarded placements.

Whilst user acquisition marketing is nothing new to the mobile app landscape, AppSamurai shows the potential to compete with its focus on creating custom campaigns that focus on long-term and relevant user acquisition as opposed to focusing solely on quantity. Through this approach, the company aims to help mobile apps of any scale grow, forming dedicated user bases and thus boosting revenue for app providers.
