The Ad Monetization Playbook: Fixing Leaky Revenue, Boosting CPMs, and Scaling Your Team with Kelly Kang
Manage episode 512616799 series 3005070
Why is your ad revenue flat even when your game's traffic is growing? Margins are getting squeezed by hidden fees, and old strategies of yelling at partners no longer move the needle. In this episode, we sit down with veteran ad monetization consultant Kelly Kang to get her modern playbook for building a resilient and profitable ad strategy from the ground up.
Kelly Kang has optimized ad strategies for some of the biggest names in mobile gaming, including Big Fish Games, Aristocrat, and Glu Mobile. She provides a masterclass on auditing your current setup, choosing the right tech stack, and understanding the metrics that truly matter for long-term growth.
In this episode, you will learn:
The #1 reason your revenue margins are shrinking (and it's not what you think).
A 4-point framework to audit your ad stack, from mediation to placements.
Why you should track Ad Engagement and Impression Depth over ARPDAU and CPM.
The most common (and costly) mistakes studios make when launching and operating ads.
Actionable "quick wins" that can immediately boost performance.
How to structure and scale your ad monetization team based on revenue, not workload.
