Evolved Bango Audiences driving additional 25% ROAS from UA campaigns

By Sukey Miller - October 24, 2023

New machine learning technology identifies compelling purchase patterns and boosts campaign conversions for app developers.

Bango has released new data enrichment features to its machine learning algorithm that analyzes the in-app purchases processed by the Bango Payment Platform. Applied to a Large Payment Model (LPM), which analyzes source payment data across thousands of apps, these enhancements have led to a significant increase in the performance of Bango Audiences, the market-leading purchase behavior targeting technology. 


“Powerful improvements to our algorithms using advanced techniques, similar to natural language processing, and precise clustering approaches have enabled us to create high-quality ontologies on-the-fly, optimized to our client’s KPIs and campaign specifics. These are mind blowing new relationships and purchase patterns we’re drawing,” said Manuel Alfaro Solis, Head of Advanced R&D at Bango. “The improved success, predictability, and resilience of Bango Audiences give marketers the highest quality targeting data for a very specific objective - acquiring paying users.”


New, advanced machine learning techniques applied to a massive payments data set identifies additional buying patterns and optimizes audiences to target specific purchase profiles. Called the Bango Buyographics Data Modeler (BDM), the algorithm analyzes billions of in-app payments to enhance the data intelligence, increasing the effectiveness of Bango Audiences. In trials, app developers have gained an average of 25% increase in Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) from their UA campaigns using these evolved audiences.


This evolution of Bango Audiences delivers app developers:

Enhanced audience creation from a deeper set of proven purchase signals, and more granular and detailed segmentation of purchase behavior data, is driving higher conversion rates, with an average increase of over 25% ROAS.
