The problem
Three Core Problems
1. Ad Placement Issues: Several ad placements weren't loading correctly due to an overlay prompting users to subscribe for an ad-free experience. This negatively impacted both user experience and revenue generation.

2. Auction Inefficiencies: The platform utilized a first-price auction system, where the winning advertiser pays their bid amount. A more efficient approach would be a second-price or Vickery auction, where the winning advertiser pays just above the second-highest bid, encouraging honest and transparent bidding.
3. Ad Server & Ad Format Optimizations: While rectifying the ad server to ensure proper ad display was a positive step towards revenue enhancement, there was also a clear customer demand for diverse ad formats. To address this, I initiated A/B testing for new formats to ensure that any changes would not detract from the user experience.

Native app for monitoring and supervision during the date
Onboarding
After the user has seen the various uses that can benefit her in the use of our product we will ask her to identify as a woman to protect the purity of the product and to raise in her a sense of security.
Background Check
To motivate the user to use the app, we will lead her to run a background check on one of the guys she is communicating with. Checking the background can empower the value we offer - a sense of security and control - knowledge is power.
Date Entry
While entering the date data the app gathers all the information needed to provide the user with the protection she needs. The step will be broken down into several steps to reduce the effort required from the user which will also help to focus her at every step.
During the Date
During the date, the app will send alerts according to the settings we set on the "date entry".
Reporting
To collect information that will be useful to our users, at the end of each date the user will be asked to report the date. We will make sure at this point to lower her concerns by security stamp and noting the fact that the information she is providing remains confidential.
