For indie mobile studios, optimization is everything. Learn how Soul.io, Turret Fusion, and Clone Armies partnered with Unity to supercharge their monetization strategy using our Mediation solutions.
Soul.io: Building a complex ad strategy for a casual game
When JOINTSOFT launched the next iteration of their flagship game, Soul.io 3D, they expected to rely heavily on battle tested tools to help them launch into the new and growing 3D game market. Eray Aslan, CEO of JOINTSOFT, had worked extensively with other mediation services across the industry, but decided to become one of the early adopters of Unity’s new Mediation solution.
The results from teaming up with Unity? JOINTSOFT’s growth strategy evolved from standard App Store optimization based tactics to a multifaceted ads approach that retained players and increased in-game spend.
- JOINTSOFT doubled their eCPM, streamlined their implementation flow, and got a competitively low crash rate.
- Strategic ad placements within Soul.io 3D to maximize LTV
- New formats with interstitial ads and weekly mediation waterfall optimizations.
Unity's Mediation packages are reliable, easy to integrate and perform across platforms. Packages are updated in lockstep with evolving native APIs and App Store policies.
