CREATIVES: PLAYABLE ADS Getting the Most Out of Your Paid Marketing WHY PLAYABLES? ● CVM up to 2x video ● Engagement = Intent ● Abundant Supply ● Higher LTV 

CREATIVES: PLAYABLE ADS Getting the Most Out of Your Paid Marketing BEST PRACTICES: ● Gameplay should start automatically. No need for a “Start” or “Play Now” button. ● Playable ≠ Tutorial ● Playables less than 10 seconds not so good. ● Recommended length is 15-45 seconds. ● Install now option within Playable ● Skip => End Card (like video) to prevent accidental close (OR full close out as a UX decision) 

CREATIVES: VERTICAL VIDEO Getting the Most Out of Your Paid Marketing WHY VERTICAL? ● 75% of all casual gaming inventory is portrait. ● Landscape video in portrait is bad use of screen space. ● Most people do not rotate their phone to view an ad. ● 30% better performance for vertical video vs landscape (on portrait inventory) BEST PRACTICES: ● Optimize for portrait ● Build in interactive features using all the device capabilities: tap, zoom, swipe, move/gyro etc. ● End card experience: interactive, playable, carousels, experiment, frequent refresh. ● 1:1 square video works too.

CREATIVES: HALF AND HALF VIDEO + CAROUSEL Getting the Most Out of Your Paid Marketing WHY HALF & HALF? ● Best of everything! ● Essence of the game AND interaction ● Widely available interstitial inventory ● User very well-informed at the point of click => LTV BEST PRACTICES: ● Half Video + Half Carousel ● Half Video + Half Playable ● Refresh carousel cards every 2 weeks ● Refresh playables every 4 weeks ● Refresh video every 4-6 weeks
