we wanted an incredibly creative way of showcasing the extra 1000 GB of storage we offered within the app. mCanvas helped us elevate our campaign narrative with a gamified concept that resonated with the audience. in fact, the 4% engagement rate is testament to the effectiveness of mobile branding ads in achieving campaign objectives.
