Through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and analysis of Tyrads’ operations, the research provides insights and recommendations for Tyrads and other stakeholders in the mobile growth agency industry. In today’s digital landscape, mobile devices have become indispensable, enabling individuals to engage in various economic and societal activities. However, the increasing reliance on mobile devices has created a greater demand for effective user acquisition solutions. Tyrads, under the leadership of Zino Rost Van Tonningen, aims to address this demand as a mobile growth agency. Nonetheless, Tyrads faces the challenge of attracting clients and differentiating itself from established ad agencies and emerging ad tech companies. To overcome these challenges and gain a competitive edge, this research proposes a comprehensive digital strategy for Tyrads. The analysis yields key strategies recommended for implementation: Firstly, Tyrads should leverage digitized solutions and an operational backbone to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. Tyrads can optimize its operations and effectively manage client campaigns by embracing technology and digital tools. Secondly, forming strategic partnerships with non-gaming platforms is crucial for Tyrads’ expansion. These partnerships would grant access to diverse inventories and allow Tyrads to broaden its service offerings to finance, e-commerce, and travel clients. Addressing regulatory challenges, such as sandbox regulations and diminishing cookie tracking, is essential. Tyrads needs to manage first-party data and diversify its marketing strategies to adapt to changing regulations and ensure compliance. Furthermore, Tyrads should utilize its own-operated inventory, Tyr Rewards, and first-party data to develop targeted advertising products and solutions for non-gaming industries. This approach enables Tyrads to deliver personalized and effective campaigns to its clients. To enhance brand presence and attract new clients, Tyrads should invest in marketing outreach, events, and sponsorships. Proactive engagement with potential clients and establishing a strong brand presence will expand Tyrads’ reach in untapped markets. Additionally, continuous investment in AI and technology advancements is paramount. By staying at the forefront of technological innovation, Tyrads can maintain a competitive edge and adapt to evolving industry trends. Based on the analysis, the research proposes these strategies to Tyrads as recommendations. The insights and recommendations provided are intended to guide Tyrads in optimizing its digital strategies and provide valuable input to other stakeholders in the mobile growth agency industry. This research contributes to the knowledge base of mobile growth agencies by proposing actionable insights for Tyrads and other stakeholders seeking to gain a competitive advantage as user acquisition solutions. By tailoring the strategies to Tyrads’ specific context, the recommendations aim to assist the company in refining its digital approach, adapting to market dynamics, and thriving in the ever-evolving landscape of user acquisition solutions. This research also sets the groundwork for future research, opening avenues to explore digital strategies in the mobile marketing industry.
