01 / CHALLENGE
The constraint
The constraint
Dave needed to scale UA beyond $120K/month without destroying unit economics. Every attempt to push past this threshold resulted in rising CPIs and diminishing returns, requiring a partner that could test new audiences and bid strategies continuously to decrease CPI/CPA at scale.
