How user-generated content for Facebook ads boost app growth
Franki is a revolutionary mobile platform that enables creators (franki locals) to produce user-generated content quickly and easily. Viewers can then visit franki to get honest reviews made by locals for places to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves.
In this case study, we show you how taking a user-generated content strategy for franki’s Facebook advertising campaign was the right move for increasing brand awareness and app installs.
The Challenge
To grow franki in the market, the app marketing strategy was developed around these key objectives:
• Build a solid digital strategy through search engines and paid social media
•
Focus on building awareness and reducing acquisition costs per user in California and Texas markets
Our Approach
To achieve these goals, our app marketing specialist at App Growth Network worked with the franki client to develop an app marketing strategy that would take the following approach:
• Implement a creative strategy based on user-generated content to highlight the benefits of the app in a genuine and organic way
• Prioritize the most valuable events in the franki app and create a digital strategy centered around these
• Optimize and measure the different results between platforms, creatives, and audiences with AppsFlyer
• Consolidate the campaigns and techniques used with the previously tested ones that provided desired results
Creative examples of market-specific UGC:
California (LA) market
Texas Market
Results
When AGN’s paid user acquisition tackled this approach, they tested different Facebook app event optimization (AEO) techniques that would achieve the best results. franki’s previous Facebook campaign was based on AEO install optimization.
The team decided to change the AEO to signup optimization combined with user-generated content. As it turns out, this proved to be the winning combination.
