Upstream was able to deliver new subscribers by operating as the exclusive digital media buying partner for the mobile operator, tapping into 45 different traffic sources, including Facebook, TikTok, Google and Twitter. This was achieved securely due to the deployment of award-winning Secure-D feature, which ensures that only genuine, consumer-initiated transactions are completed.

The customer acquisition campaign was managed and executed using Upstream’s Grow platform, a multi-channel marketing automation system which allows for continuous optimization to be built into each campaign. Consistent A/B testing was conducted across multiple creative concepts, landing pages, and user flows to maximize conversion rates. By the first quarter of 2021, the campaign was delivering 250,000 new customer acquisitions per month.

“Our challenge was to dramatically scale-up our digital services business, but in a sustainable way that didn’t expose us and our users to fraud,” said Partomchai Tangnoi, Head of Platform Solution and Operation at dtac. “By working in close partnership with Upstream we were able to drive fraud-free cross-vertical customer acquisitions by constantly improving and optimizing our campaigns.”

“A highly-targeted, mobile-first approach can deliver real results in just a matter of months even during a time of turbulence in the sector,” said George Kalyvas, Chief Commercial Officer of Upstream. “dtac is a great example to other operators of how you can tap into immediate and impressive revenue growth from relevant, no-frills and fraud-free digital services. We are proud of our marketing automation platform, able to deliver such results on behalf of our partners.”
