ARPDAU jumps by 20% as Absolute Games uses Fyber FairBid to go all-in on bidding

The challenge

■ Evaluate the technical and business impact of switching from a waterfall setup to a fully programmatic ad stack

The solution

■ Integrate Fyber FairBid to run all monetization via a unified auction that includes ad networks as well as with performance and brand DSPs

■ As part of this transition, 2 ad networks that were not bidding-enabled were replaced by 2 bidding ad networks

■ Fyber’s account management and engineering team provided extensive support and shared best practices to ensure a smooth transition

The results

“The Fyber team was there to support us throughout the whole integration process, so I felt confident that our users were going to get a solid experience. The integration itself was the same as products we already had experience with so there were no surprises in how things worked. The end result was a build that outperforms our previous versions. Can't ask for more.”Nick Scheri, Co-Founder & CTO
