ARE YOU IN THE RIGHT PLACE?
You're in the right place if any of these sound like you.
You're growing, and you want conversion, retention, and revenue work that compounds, measured in real uplift, not vanity metrics.
You're acquiring users but losing them, and you need activation and engagement that turn installs into habits.
Your team is heads-down on the roadmap, so optimisation keeps getting deprioritised, and you want experts who plug in without slowing you down.
You've been burned by agencies that ran ads and chased installs without ever fixing the underlying funnel.
HOW WE HELP SCALEUPS
Three ways we help you compound conversion, retention, and revenue.
Squeeze more revenue from existing users
Live app, real users, and you know there's revenue left on the table. We audit your conversion funnel, paywall, onboarding, and retention loops, then ship targeted optimisation work that compounds. Most scaleups we work with see double-digit conversion or revenue lift inside the first 3 months.
Acquire users more efficiently
Apple Search Ads, Google UAC, Meta, TikTok - we run paid acquisition on top of a funnel that actually converts, not in front of one that leaks. Vampr went from sub-5% install-to-trial conversion to over 30% (a 6x lift), then doubled subscription revenue once the underlying funnel was rebuilt.
Make your app discoverable across stores and AI
ASO localisation, keyword strategy, store conversion optimisation, and AI-citation work that gets your app surfaced by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini - not just the App Store search bar. Discovery efficiency is one of the highest-impact moves a scaleup has against rising CAC.
SOLUTIONS FOR SCALEUPS
Stop leaving users and revenue on the table.
These are just some of things we can do to help supercharge your mobile or SaaS app.
App Growth Marketing
Stop guessing with your app marketing (and stop relying on generic marketing agencies who don't understand apps).
Drive sustainable user acquisition and revenue growth with our proven strategies and 15+ years of app marketing expertise. We combine App Store Optimisation, AI search visibility, targeted advertising, and retention campaigns to acquire high-value users, increase visibility, and build a thriving app business.
AI Visibility Optimisation
Every month, more users skip the app stores and ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews which app to download.
We optimise your presence across the major AI search engines so your app is the one recommended, not your competitors. Your app's broader web presence is what feeds those AI recommendations. We build and strengthen these signals across the web so the AI models trust, cite, and surface your app first.
UI/UX Optimisation
Your app's growth is only as strong as the experience behind it. We identify conversion bottlenecks, optimise user flows, and implement data-driven improvements that increase user engagement, retention, and revenue while reducing acquisition costs.
Start with a comprehensive UX & Conversion Audit of your app to find out what's working, what's not, and where your biggest gains are hiding.
App Design & Development
Don't trust your developer to design you a great app. Instead ask the experts.
We design apps that users love and businesses profit from. Our data-driven design-first approach ensures exceptional user experiences while our agile development process delivers high-quality apps on time and on budget. Lower your risk and increase your success by designing properly before you touch a line of code.

A REAL SCALEUP STORY
Vampr: 6x conversion, 2x subscription revenue on a mature app.

Vampr came to us as a textbook scaleup story. They had years of testing different marketing approaches behind them, real users, and a product they believed in - but they knew their conversion performance could be materially better and that paid acquisition wasn't paying back the way it should.
We rebuilt their subscription strategy from the ground up. Onboarding was tightened around the user behaviour that actually predicted retention. The paywall was redesigned around the moments when users were most likely to convert. UX work removed every funnel leak we could find before we touched a single ad campaign.
Result: install-to-trial conversion went from under 5% to over 30% - a 6x lift. Subscription revenue more than doubled. The kind of compounding return that turns a scaleup into a category leader and makes paid acquisition genuinely profitable.
This is what works when you stop doing surface-level marketing and start treating optimisation as a strategic discipline. Most agencies run paid ads and hope. We rebuild the underlying funnel, then run paid ads on top of a system that converts - and we've been doing it for app companies for over 15 years.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What scaleup leaders ask us most often.
Three signals usually trigger the conversation: 1) you've hit product-market fit and growth is real but plateauing, 2) your in-house team is shipping the next thing fast and optimisation work keeps getting deprioritised, or 3) you've burned cash on agencies that ran ads without fixing the underlying funnel. The right time to bring an external partner in is BEFORE the plateau gets entrenched, usually when you have enough data to prove the funnel is leaking but not enough internal capacity to fix it. When we look at where scaleup growth actually leaks, it's almost always in product strategy, onboarding, or the first session experience - the same three areas that decide MVP success in the first place. Fixing those is what unsticks growth, not more ad spend.
Yes - this is how most of our scaleup engagements run. We slot in as a specialist app extension to your existing team. Daily Slack, weekly syncs, shared dashboards, no shadow ownership. Your team keeps the velocity they've built; we add the optimisation, ASO, and growth marketing depth that's hard to hire for in-house at scaleup stage.
Real conversion uplift, real revenue lift, real retention improvement - measured against a documented baseline. Every engagement starts with us agreeing on the metrics that matter and the measurement window. Most of our scaleup clients see double-digit conversion or revenue uplift inside the first 90 days. Where we run A/B tests, we report against statistical confidence, not directional vibes. The work is provable or we don't ship it.
Initial engagements are usually 3-6 months, structured as a focused audit + roadmap + first-wave execution. Most scaleups continue with us as an ongoing optimisation and growth partner after that, because the compounding lift only really shows up over 12+ months of disciplined execution. Some prefer shorter project-based engagements (audit-only, paywall redesign, ASO sprint) - we'll structure whatever fits.
Both. Project-based for scoped pieces (audit, paywall redesign, ASO sprint, paid acquisition campaign launch). Monthly retainer for ongoing optimisation, growth marketing, and ASO work where the value compounds over time. We're transparent about which model fits your situation - if a project-based fee makes more sense than a retainer, we'll tell you.
Quick wins ship inside 30 days, usually onboarding, first session experience, or paywall improvements that compound from day one - because the highest-impact moments in a scaleup app are almost always in the first 60 seconds a user spends inside it. Structural lifts (full funnel rebuild, retention loops, multi-channel paid acquisition optimisation) compound over 60-180 days as the data accumulates and the optimisation iterations stack. Most of our scaleup clients see double-digit conversion or revenue lift inside the first 90 days.
Always. Every scaleup engagement starts with an NDA before we share approach details, look at your metrics, or do anything that touches sensitive data. We're happy to use yours or supply ours.
Yes. ASO localisation across 135+ countries, Apple Search Ads and Google UAC campaigns into new geos, in-app paywall and onboarding localisation, and retention messaging adapted to local audience norms. We've grown apps to #1 keyword rankings across 135 countries including the USA, Australia, Canada, and the UK. International expansion is one of the higher-impact moves a scaleup can make once the home market is converting cleanly.
