app growth marketing

app growth marketing, run by the person who did 2 million users

30 minutes, free. a written 30 day plan whether or not we work together.

App growth marketing is the work of taking an app from its first users to a repeatable acquisition engine: creative, channels, measurement and retention, run as one loop. I do it hands-on for founders in the US and Europe, the same way I scaled ZuAI from 10,000 to 2 million users at $0.02 blended CAC.

what you get

what app growth marketing includes

one operator, not a team of juniors

i run the campaigns, write the briefs, read the numbers and kill what does not work. you talk to me.

creative at volume

ugc, short-form and static, tested in batches. on zuai that is 150+ creatives a month.

every channel that works for apps

tiktok ugc, reddit, paid social, founder-led content, short-form video. picked for your app, not sold as a bundle.

one number you can trust

blended cac, payback and retention cohorts, reported weekly in a sheet you own.

for

who this is for

  • consumer and AI apps past their first 1,000 users
  • founders who have tried an agency and got reports instead of users
  • teams with budget but no operator to run it
how it works

the loop

step 1

week 1: audit

funnel, tracking, store listing, current creative and spend. you get a written plan with a target cac.

step 2

weeks 2 to 6: test

two or three channels, creative in batches, small budgets. anything that does not repeat gets cut.

step 3

weeks 7 to 12: scale

budget moves to the engine that repeats. weekly readout, monthly plan.

faq

app growth marketing questions

do you work with pre-launch apps?

rarely. growth marketing needs a product people keep. if you are pre-launch, the club is the better place to start and it is free.

what budget do i need?

enough to run a real test on two channels for six weeks. i will tell you the number on the call after seeing your funnel. i do not take on accounts where the budget cannot produce a signal.

is this an agency?

no. it is me, hands on, with contractors for creative when volume needs it. no account managers, no decks.

how is this different from hiring a growth marketer?

a hire takes months to find and ramp. i have done this since 2019 and start inside a week. when you are ready to hire, i help you do it.
