Eva Juretic, Growth Marketing Lead, Highrise As one of the top-spending advertisers on TikTok, we have a high bar for great creatives, and Rocketship delivered on both production and performance. We thoroughly enjoyed working with the team, as they communicated strategy clearly, shared detailed briefs, and were generally very open and collaborative.
Siberia Su, UA Lead, MobilityWare Working with RocketShip HQ was like working with a full-blown marketing department. They produced an incredible amount of innovative creatives, and offered detailed and valuable insights in our weekly reviews.

We’ve been on the leading edge of post-ATT marketing

Post-ATT UA is HARD 😭: here are some of the challenges we solve for

🔍

No granular metrics

You have almost no granular insights into user behavior data availability has drastically reduced. So: broken targeting. Broken optimization. Impaired performance. Incomplete reporting.

🧮

Data delays

On SKAN channels, data comes in with a 3-4 day delay - so if you’re testing something new(creatives, channels, geos, optimization), you launch - and wait.

🍍

Messy measurement across channels

SKAN isnt the only game in town. Google uses Firebase, ad networks use fingerprinting(er probabilistic measurement), and Apple Search uses Apple Search Ads API. How do you even compare apples and oranges and pineapples?

👯‍♀️

Incomplete data

SKAN is very poorly documented. There is SKAN’s crowd anonymity(formerly privacy thresholds) whose criteria seems to change from time to time - without any warning.

🎨

Unclear creative testing practices

As targeting and optimization become automated away, creative becomes ever more critical as a piece of user acquisition. BUT because of the 3-4 day data delays, you have to be very intentional about mitigating creative risk.

🤐

More privacy changes coming

Apple is only tightening the screws. And Google’s Privacy Sandbox is coming soon - making things even harder for marketers and brands the world over. /p>

We bill on a flat-fee basis that is typically a function of the complexity of the engagement, creative volume, and number of channels: so you avoid typical agency percentage billing pitfalls.
We also offer discounts for asynchronous-only engagements: when we arent on calls, we are able to focus on actually moving the ball forward for you.
Other options that you can consider are:
There are a lot of options you can choose from. Why choose this one?
Let’s face it. You’ve plenty of options out there for running your mobile user acquisition activity. You could:
🏢 Hire a digital marketing agency(‘that also does mobile’): do you think they’ll ‘get’ the idiosyncrasies of ATT?
📈 Hire an ASO/organic/creative agency for mobile to also do your mobile user acquisition: will they get the multiple moving parts of UA?
👥 Recruit an internal team: it’ll take you weeks - do you think you’ll have the right person?
📚 Watch webinars or read books to try and ‘figure this out’ yourself. Can you afford the time?
📨 Ask folks on Slack groups what to do. How reliable will their advice be?
🧮 Ask your colleagues or industry friends what they are trying.
The truth is that these things may not move the needle at all for you. You’ve probably tried some of these multiple times.
And sometimes, you don’t want to roll the dice to hire an agency and wonder if it will work. Or watch a 60-minute webinar and apply it all on your own.
Are you doing it right? Is the agency’s strategy right for YOUR situation? How do you even know if this is the right path?
I get it.
Sometimes you just want someone to do it for you.

FAQs
How many creatives should I expect to have tested?
This is typically a function of your vertical and number of channels you’re on - however below are a few rules of thumb we recommend:
< $50k → 4-6 new concepts(+ variants)
$50k - $100k → 6-8 new concepts(+ variants)
$100k+ → 6-8 new concepts + 2 new concepts every additional $200k in ad spend(+ variants).
Which channels should I run on?
This typically is a function of your product, your audience, scale and vertical. We’re able to run on all key digital channels(social, search, ad networks, paid content and programmatic). Please discuss this with us on a no-obligations consultation.
Can you guarantee that we’ll scale to XYZ levels?
As many factors(product and marketing related) go into scale, it’s not possible to offer a guarantee. However what we can assure you of is our rock-solid process that has been battle-tested over 100+ products and $100mm+ in ad spend. For products with the right metrics, we have in place processes that are proven to perform and scale.
