Having already achieved success with Perform<sup>[cb]<\/sup> through mobile display, the marketer wanted to expand into new, untapped traffic channels to further increase reach without disrupting their existing campaigns. With a focus on driving Android volume and optimizing towards their desired post-install events, they turned to the Outcome Engine team for guidance on driving incremental growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-approach\">Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To diversify and scale the marketer\u2019s acquisition strategy, Perform<sup>[cb]<\/sup> recommended testing push notifications as a new traffic channel.
