One of our customers, a leading development studio, wanted to increase overall revenue in one of their hit mobile games. Their objective was to add a secondary revenue stream without compromising the player experience and risking IAP revenue. They ultimately decided to integrate rewarded video into the game play. The development team had limited time and few resources to integrate and manage multiple SDKs, ad waterfalls, and blacklisting.

The studio integrated Upsight’s mediated rewarded video, gaining access to the world’s top mobile ad networks and exchanges, from a single, easy to integrate, SDK. Upsight’s Customer Success team supported the entire integration process with customized ad placement recommendations and integration expertise. The Upsight ad ops team managed all of the “behind the scenes” work including network set-up and applying universal blacklists on the studio’s behalf.
