From GoWish growth notes

What was said about GoWish

  • GoWish hit #1 on the App Store mainly by boosting organic videos with Spark ads. GoWish reached #1 on the App Store almost entirely through Spark ads, and Spark was the cheapest way for it to gain users.

    The tactic is to test Spark on any organic video with engagement above about 7.5 to 8%, starting with $20 if CPMs look low enough. High-engagement videos usually run well below a dollar CPM on Spark. Spark is also described as the cheapest way to get installs for apps that already have good organic content. Quote: "you should test putting $20 behind it".
