  • MAVAN featured graphic explaining why web shops can be a major growth lever for mobile games. Two smartphone checkout screens compare an app-store purchase with a branded web-store purchase. The app-store checkout shows a $100 premium serum purchase reduced to $70 after a 30% platform fee, illustrated by a coral-red “–30%” tag and money flowing away from the phone. A coral arrow labeled “own it” points toward the web-store checkout, where the full $100 purchase is retained and a “+first-party data” tag highlights ownership of the customer profile, purchase history, and marketing access. White headline reads, “Web shops can be a real growth lever,” above the comparison on a dark navy-to-black background with subtle coral data lines and the MAVAN logo.

    Are Mobile Game Web Shops A Growth Lever In 2026?

    After Apple’s IDFA changes, mobile game studios grow by launching a web shop — a game-branded web store they own. It reclaims the 15 to 30 percent that app stores take on every purchase and rebuilds the first-party player data that makes user acquisition work again.

  • MAVAN featured graphic on a deep navy-to-black background with faint coral-red circuit lines, hexagons, and light streaks fanning out along both edges. A bold white Plus Jakarta Sans headline reads 'HOW DO YOU AVOID THE BAD FIRST GROWTH HIRE TRAP?' with the word 'TRAP' in coral red and underlined. On the left, a single white human-silhouette icon stands alone beneath the label 'One Hire.' A curved coral-red arrow points from the figure to the right, toward four white-outlined circles arranged in a diamond — 'Acquisition' at top, 'Creative' at right, 'Data' at bottom, and 'Lifecycle' at left — connected by coral-red dashed lines with a coral-red warning triangle at the center, beneath the label 'Hired Into An Unprepared System.' A white caption across the bottom reads 'The problem is rarely the person — it's the system they inherit.' The graphic contrasts a lone new hire against a disconnected growth function, illustrating that a first growth hire fails when dropped into an unprepared system rather than because of the person.

    How Do You Avoid Hiring A Bad First Growth Hire?

    Most first growth hires fail because the person is dropped into a company with no working system to sharpen, not because they lack talent. The fix is to build the system first — document what already drives growth, or embed a growth pod to turn scrappy channels into a coordinated system with a 90-day playbook — then make your senior hire, so they inherit a working machine instead of a blank page.

  • MAVAN featured graphic answering the question "Where Does AI Fit In Creative Development?" on a deep navy-to-black background with coral-red light streaks, sub-headline "It Should Fuel Winners, Not Just Volume" with "Winners" underlined in coral red. A left-to-right process flow shows three white "Previous Winning Ads" cards feeding into a glowing coral-red "AI" orb, which fans out a spray of dim grey concept cards toward a white human-head silhouette with a coral-red spark at the temple, labeled "Human Taste + Audience Truth." Three bright coral-red "Winners" creative cards with play buttons emerge on the right. The flow illustrates that AI generates concept volume from proven winners while human taste and audience understanding select the few concepts that win. The coral MAVAN logo sits in the bottom-right corner.

    How Do You Use AI For Winning Ads In Creative Development?

    AI’s biggest near-term payoff in growth is creative. Use it to generate more concepts and rebuild what already works — then rely on human taste, audience truth, and disciplined testing to decide which creative ships and scales.
