How Giftful Drove 23K+ Holiday Installs With One Multi-Channel Q4 Campaign

A gifting app that needed to win the holidays

Giftful, a social gifting platform that helps users organize wishlists and discover the perfect presents, approached Moburst with a clear challenge: break through the noise of Q4 (the most competitive advertising period of the year) and drive meaningful growth at efficient cost. Recognizing that speed, creativity, and platform intelligence would be the real differentiators, Moburst designed a comprehensive multi-channel strategy that transformed a tight timeline into a competitive advantage, positioning Giftful as the go-to holiday gifting solution while laying the foundation for sustainable growth well beyond the holiday season.

Giftful & Moburst: Driving 23K+ Installs Through Strategic Multi-Channel Activation

objective

Objective

Drive quality installs fast, without burning the budget With iOS advertising costs spiking during the peak holiday season and a compressed launch window, Moburst knew that traditional campaign approaches wouldn't cut it. The goal was to generate high-quality app installs at exceptional efficiency, convert those installs into registered, engaged users, and build a data-rich foundation of audience insights and creative learnings that would power Giftful's growth into 2026 and beyond. Every channel, creative, and optimization decision had to work in concert to drive downstream engagement (not just top-of-funnel volume).
