AppLovin as the primary growth channel
Magnesium bisglycinate gummies for sleep, stress and muscle relaxation. Meta was saturated and CPAs were climbing. AppLovin opened an untapped, high-intent audience and hit $6k a day in 30 days.
AppLovin as the primary growth channel

AppLovin as the primary growth channel
For new AppLovin clients who sign and launch within the next 30 days. The credit goes straight into your campaigns, so your first results cost less while Axon learns.
Available to qualifying new clients only. Subject to AppLovin program terms. Spots are limited.Axon learns from your ads, not from audience settings. The brands hitting $10 to $20 CPAs are not spending more, they are testing more and better creative, faster. That is where our in-house production pays off.
Every brand is fighting over the same Meta audiences. AppLovin opened to all advertisers only in June 2026, so the auction for ecommerce buyers is still far less crowded.
Axon gets sharper as it spends on your purchase data. Brands that start now build a data advantage that gets harder for competitors to catch.
AppLovin reaches people while they play, many of whom you never catch on Instagram or TikTok. It adds a growth layer instead of cannibalizing your other channels.
A proven launch process, refined across $5M+ a month in AppLovin spend.
We review your store, margins, tracking and creative, then set CPA or ROAS targets and a launch budget.
AppLovin pixel and Conversion API via Shopify or GTM, tested end to end before a dollar is spent.
Longer 9:16 story-led videos and statics built for AppLovin. Your first batch is on us.
Daily optimization, weekly new creative, and steady budget increases on what works.
We lead with AppLovin because that is where the most exciting results are right now. We also run Meta, Google and TikTok, plus creative, so every channel compounds.
We are based in Lahore, so our costs are a fraction of a US or UK agency, and we pass that on. The team running your AppLovin account has managed paid media for brands across the US, UK, Canada and Australia.

| Monthly management fee | $750 per channel + 2.5% of spend | Often $8,000 to $15,000+ retainers |

| Creative | In-house static and AI video, first batch free | Outsourced or billed separately |

Pay for the channels you want us to run. Add creative or a funnel build only if you need them.
Plus 2.5% of ad spend. Month to month, no lock-in.
AI video ads up to 60 seconds at $75 each. Your first batch is free.
Landing pages, upsells and product pages built for your ad traffic.
It depends on your product, margins and creative. Across our AppLovin clients we average a 1.86x ROAS, our lowest CPA is $10.33, and our fastest scale to $10k a day took 7 days. On your call we will tell you honestly what to expect for your brand.
We recommend starting at $500 a day. That gives Axon enough purchase data to find your buyers and start scaling. AppLovin's own minimum is lower, but small tests rarely tell you much.
Plan on three to four weeks for a fair test while Axon learns. Many of our brands have reached $4k to $20k a day within 30 days.
It works well for DTC products that demo well on video: supplements, skincare, beauty devices, home, pets and apparel. Some categories, like telehealth, are restricted, and we have built lead generation funnels to work around that.
Vertical 9:16 videos, ideally 30 to 60 seconds, plus statics, and plenty of variations. We produce them in-house: statics at $30 and AI video ads at $75, with your first batch free.

An AppLovin agency runs the channel for you from start to scale: account setup, AppLovin pixel and Conversion API tracking, campaign structure and goals (ROAS or cost per purchase), the video and static creative AppLovin rewards, daily optimization and weekly reporting. As an official AppLovin partner agency we also get direct access to AppLovin's partner team when something needs fixing fast.
Yes. Setup is part of every engagement: we open or connect your AppLovin Ads account, install and test the pixel and Conversion API through Shopify or GTM, build the first campaigns and load launch creative. Most brands are live within one to two weeks of kickoff.
Yes. Creative is most of the work on AppLovin, so we produce it in house: your best Meta videos recut to full-screen 9:16 with captions and voiceover, new AI video ads ($75 each), static ads ($30 each) and end cards, delivered in 3 to 5 business days. Your first creative batch is free.
Run it in-house if you already have clean tracking, a steady flow of new video, someone to manage the account daily and budget to absorb a learning curve. If two or more of those are missing, an agency usually gets you to a fair result faster. Our in-house vs agency guide walks through the decision.
Yes. Apt Digital is an official AppLovin Partner Agency, managing $5M+ a month in AppLovin ad spend.
