    Hey, App Growth Community! Welcome back to High Five, our five-part mini-series spotlighting five of the boldest minds making the biggest waves in mobile marketing. In this final episode, we’re ending on a high note with Michal Bubernik, Head of Marketing at Pixel Federation—the Slovakian studio behind beloved hits like TrainStation 2, Seaport, and Diggy’s Adventure. A creative force and industry veteran, Michal has helped shape Pixel’s reputation for simulation excellence and built a standout strategy that blends data-driven experimentation with human realness. Joining host Peggy Anne Salz and series regular Peter Jung, Head of Paid UA & Creatives at App Guardians, Michal shares how AI is empowering his team to scale creative production without sacrificing quality—or soul. From the early days of static ad testing to fully automated video workflows and AI-generated voiceovers, Michal takes us behind the scenes on how his team went from brainstorming to blockbuster ads. Tune in for honest insights and pragmatic tips, including when to let AI take the wheel, how to spot a winning creative early, and why sometimes the best-performing ads…aren’t the prettiest. (Spoiler: scrappy still sells.) Plus, don’t miss Michal’s backstory about how he became the “Tuna of the Gaming Industry.” It’s the perfect finale to a series about fearless experimentation, fast iteration, and never losing sight of the human touch.

    High Five: The Three Ad Components Guaranteed To Get Users To Download Your App

    Welcome back, App Growth Community, to High Five, a five-part mini-series where we spotlight five of the biggest minds driving the biggest bottom-line results in mobile today. In this episode, we showcase Peter Jung, Director of Paid UA & Creatives at App Guardians, a mobile-first marketing agency focused on strategic growth. Throughout his career, Peter has managed $33+ million in ad spend and scaled hundreds of apps, including Lucky Day, a Top 10 App on iOS and Android. He joins our host, Peggy Anne Salz, in this week’s show to reveal his strategy for crafting captivating and attention-grabbing creative ads that actually convert and reduce wasted ad spend.   It’s a strategy quite similar to fishing, he says. To effectively catch and keep users, every ad needs to bait, hook, and reel in users with engaging visuals, a clear call-to-action, and a creator or character that matches its target demographics' user persona. Throughout the episode, Peter shares several resources that marketers can review before, during, and after creating their ads to ensure each one meets this criteria before spotlighting real ads from real apps and explaining why each one either flopped or had users flying to the app stores to download.  This is a show filled with practical tips and advice, from the three core elements of a strong creative and the tools Peter uses to edit his ads to why a soft sell rather than a direct ask might be the better option and the metrics to keep an eye on to evaluate campaign performance. Listen in now! CHAPTER TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 01:10 - Core of strong creatives 03:25 - Why CTA is so important 05:17 - Direct vs Indirect CTAs 07:34 - Gaming vs non-gaming apps 08:52 - App elements to consider in creatives 16:07 - The creative fishing formula 23:25: A checklist for great ads 27:29 - Effective or ineffective ad #1 30:24 - Effective or ineffective ad #2 32:00 - Effective or ineffective ad #3 35:00 - Effective or ineffective ad #4 36:42 - Effective or ineffective ad #5  29:32 - Effective or ineffective ad #6 41:34 - Metrics to pay attention to 43:44 - Where does AI ad value? 46:10 - The secret to staying innovative 49:00 - Where to connect with Peter
