Rovio’s Angry Birds exceeds ROAS targets by 10%

Rovio, a Finnish gaming company founded in 2003, achieved monumental success in 2009 with their 52nd game, “Angry Birds.” The iconic mobile game later expanded into a franchise with titles like Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds Dream Blast, and Angry Birds Journey.

Three years after the 2021 launch of Angry Birds Journey, Rovio faced the challenge of expanding its user base in the US. The company was searching for a strategic partner to effectively reach and consistently retain high-value users to further scale the title’s prominence.
