The Opportunity

With a decade of experience, Digital Distribution Group provides advanced tracking and analytics with full transparency across the conversion funnel to optimize ROI. In partnership with Smadex, campaigns run across multiple geos, including Mexico and Germany, with
products such as Clearbliss, Playzone, and Juega Juegos.

Focusing on Germany, we optimized campaigns to grow user acquisition while keeping target CPA levels in a competitive market. By tailoring campaigns to the local audience and continuously improving performance, Germany became a standout example of DDG’s global scaling strategy.

The Solution

To drive scale and efficiency in Germany, Smadex focused on a market-specific approach designed to maximize performance:

  1. Carrier-based segmentation with targeted IP filtering to reach the most relevant users.
  2. Device-level optimization (iOS vs. Android) to uncover performance opportunities.
  3. Prioritizing top-performing exchanges to expand reach while maintaining cost efficiency.
  4. Regular creative refreshes every 2–3 weeks to keep engagement high.
  5. Video creative testing and scaling which proved particularly effective at boosting conversions.

By combining all these, Smadex ensured clean traffic, stronger conversions, and measurable growth across campaigns in Germany.

“With Smadex, we unlocked sustainable growth at scale. Their transparency, optimization, and ability to deliver 350%+ growth in Germany speak for themselves. Also, the people behind are great to work with”.
