Retargeting Masterclass: From Angry Birds to AI Ads


Listen Later

Retargeting isn’t a tactic anymore—it’s a must-have.

In this PocketGamer.biz episode, Kentaro Sugiura (Lead UA Manager, Rovio) and Nick Blake (Head of Growth, Bigabid) join us to explore how leading game studios are leveling up their re-engagement strategies in 2025 and beyond.

From redefining the inactive window (spoiler: 14 days might be your sweet spot) to testing icon changes for organic lift, this episode covers practical, measurable ways to stop wasting ad spend and bring lapsed players back.

🎯 Learn how Rovio segments audiences for high-LTV recovery, how Bigabid enables retargeting on iOS again, and how both teams use creative refreshes, A/B testing, and incrementality measurement to drive results across the game lifecycle.
