Apps, Games & ecommerce – we accelerate your business with AI‑powered creative and performance marketing.
New York is the largest app revenue market in North America. The US iOS App Store, high-LTV subscription users, and intense competition on Meta and Apple Search Ads demand a level of precision most agencies simply do not operate at.

The US market is the highest-opportunity and highest-difficulty UA environment in the world. Strong LTV makes it worth the effort, but the path to efficient scale is narrower than it looks.
Across nearly every app category, the US delivers the highest CPIs. On Meta, Apple Search Ads, and Google UAC, every major app company in the world is bidding on the same US users. You need a cost structure and LTV model that can support those prices, not campaigns optimised for cheap volume that cannot convert to subscriptions.
Optimising for subscriptions requires different campaign structures than optimising for installs or simple in-app events. Trial start rates, conversion from trial to paid, and 30-day retention all need to be modelled back to your bid targets. Most UA teams treat subscriptions as a simple event when the real complexity is in the cohort dynamics.
Many European agencies handle US clients reactively, responding to campaign questions hours or days late. Admiral maintains dedicated coverage across EST and CET time zones, with campaign managers available for morning New York calls and real-time communication throughout the US business day.
US campaigns require a different architecture than European ones. We start with an honest audit of your current setup before touching any live spend.
We review your MMP configuration, event mapping, subscription event tracking, and current bid strategies across channels. For US apps we pay particular attention to how trial events are being passed to Meta and whether your Apple Search Ads account has proper keyword match type segmentation for US search volume.
US consumers see a higher volume of mobile ads than almost any other market. Creative needs to be specific, fast, and credible from the first second. We build creative that reflects genuine product value rather than generic claims, with hooks tested against US audiences and formats matched to each platform’s consumption patterns.
We structure Meta campaigns with Advantage+ for broad audience testing alongside retargeting and lookalike tiers, launch Apple Search Ads with US-specific keyword lists, and configure Google UAC with tROAS targets calibrated to your actual US subscriber LTV. We track progress against weekly targets and communicate findings in your time zone.
Once we have clean US cohort data, we scale spend on the campaigns and creative concepts with the strongest 30-day subscriber retention. We also identify which US states and demographics drive disproportionate LTV, using that to sharpen both bidding and creative targeting.
Two examples where Admiral turned underperforming paid UA into a reliable growth engine for SaaS and media app companies.
Revenue grew by 340 percent through a combination of restructured Meta campaigns, Apple Search Ads expansion, and a creative testing programme that identified the specific user pain points converting at the highest rate. The account had been spending for months with inconsistent results before Admiral rebuilt the campaign architecture from the ground up.
Read case study →Storybeat needed to maintain ROAS while growing spend on Meta. Admiral introduced a structured creative rotation with fresh concepts introduced weekly, preventing the creative fatigue that had previously caused ROAS to drop every time budget was increased. The result was a stable scaling trajectory without the peaks and valleys they had experienced previously.

If your US campaigns are spending but not scaling, or if you are entering the US market for the first time, we can give you an honest assessment of what the path to profitable growth looks like for your specific app.
The US iOS App Store generates over twice the revenue of Google Play in North America, which makes Apple Search Ads and iOS-focused Meta campaigns a priority for most New York apps. That said, the right channel mix depends heavily on your app category and user demographics. Admiral typically starts with iOS given the higher LTV and then adds Android once iOS campaigns are profitable.
Advantage+ campaigns have shown strong results for subscription apps targeting US millennials and Gen Z, particularly in productivity, health, and media categories. The automated audience expansion works well when paired with strong creative because the US pool is large enough to find pockets of efficient users. The key constraint is creative quality: Advantage+ amplifies what already converts, it does not compensate for weak creative.
The US has the highest search volume on Apple Search Ads by a significant margin. For most app categories, US search volume is three to four times the UK equivalent, which means there is more inventory to capture but also more competition driving up CPTs. Admiral manages US Apple Search Ads campaigns with granular keyword segmentation, dedicated CPP creative, and bid strategies calibrated to US subscriber LTV.
Admiral’s team spans Central European and Eastern US time zones, which means your campaign managers are reachable for morning EST calls and maintain real-time Slack communication throughout the day. Many of our clients are based in the US, and we run weekly reporting calls, maintain shared dashboards, and respond to campaign questions within the same business day.
CCPA requires that California users can opt out of the sale of their personal data, which affects how user-level ad data flows between your app and attribution providers. Admiral configures MMP setups with privacy-safe event forwarding, SKAdNetwork for iOS, and consent management that complies with CCPA without unnecessarily degrading your optimisation signal.
