" summary

A publisher turns two prototypes into global hits by combining fast creative ad testing, server-side settings, A/B experiments, an in-house analytics platform and auto-bidding. Rocket Sky starts with day one retention 60% and a $0.50 CPI, halves CPI by moving gauges onto the rocket plus ad creative tweaks, and hits 25 million downloads and #1 in dozens of countries, generating six-figure developer revenue; Overtake launches in weeks, boosts LTV by 50% via ad-timing tweaks and scores 2 million downloads in the first month.
