Our guest today is Gina Kwong, a Senior User Acquisition Manager at EA. She focuses on global growth for EA’s mobile titles, and has great experience in creative testing especially across channels.

With the advent of Facebook AAA, many marketers have been sceptical about its efficacy for UA. Gina is one of the few marketers that not only advocates for using AAA for UA, but has also achieved great success in doing so.

We are excited to feature Gina’s insights today, as she takes us through her process of setting up campaigns on Facebook AAA, and how they can be used to test creatives - addressing many of the reservations many folks(including ourselves) have had until this point. Tune in to this episode for a completely different perspective on Facebook AAA, and a primer on how to make them work for you.
