iFood Goals

iFood's main goal was to get "first orders". That is, through new installations, generate the first orders from these users. The challenge here was to work with a market leader app, known by almost all Brazilians.

Rocket Lab’s Solution

Rocket Lab created a user acquisition campaign. First, we created multiple buying strategies on different traffic sources to understand the market's eCPA (expected Cost Per Action) (First Order). We presented this strategy to the client with full transparency. Then, through a mix of selected publishers, we built a fixed CPA inventory buying strategy that was within the client's maximum cost.

At first, scaling the campaign was difficult until we found a unique source that could add volume and take it to the next level. MMP's tools (P360) and internal checks constantly validated the results, proving the validity of the first purchases.

It was possible to obtain a 2200% increase in first orders in 2 months. In turn, the campaign generated great purchases for such a widespread app in Brazil. On the other hand, the real cost per installation, that is, the eCPI of the campaign in CPA (which is paid per key event), was R$1,30.
