Based on Consumer Acquisition’s research, including 25K A/B and multivariate tests across social networks, 85-95% of new creative concepts will fail to outperform the best ad in a portfolio. An average of thirty new ad concepts are required to yield a new winner and that winner will only last about ten weeks before creative fatigue sets in.
The sheer scale of ad creative Consumer Acquisition produces—along with challenges from IDFA loss and Google’s impending Privacy Sandbox—meant efficiencies were critical for every stage of the creative process. Consumer Acquisition needed accurate and up-to-date creative insights and competitive analysis across mobile app categories to manage their clients’ multi-million dollar advertising budgets efficiently.

Creative trends are like fashion— they keep changing and going in and out of style. Daily insights from MobileAction’s creative database help us target trends across genres and uncover efficiencies that are invaluable for us and our clients.”
