Summary GU1. I analyzed data from millions of users and designed A/B testing strategies that successfully improved user retention.
Problem Declining User Retention: The platform was experiencing a noticeable decline in user retention rates, impacting long-term growth.
Mission Improve User Retention Rates: My objective was to devise and implement effective strategies to halt the decline and improve user retention.
Action
  • Focused on New User Experience: I concentrated on optimizing the initial experience for new users, as this is a critical phase for retention.
  • Implemented Ad-Driven Content Personalization: I designed and launched A/B tests that tailored the initial content displayed to new users based on the specific advertisements they had interacted with before joining the platform.
Challenge Achieving Sufficient Sample Size for New Users: A key challenge was ensuring an adequate sample size for A/B testing, as the target group (new users) was a smaller segment of the total user base.
Overcome Leveraged Targeted Digital Marketing: I collaborated with the marketing team to conduct targeted ad distribution campaigns, which effectively drove a sufficient number of new users to the platform for robust A/B testing.
Result Increased 7-Day User Retention by 10%: The new user experience improvements, driven by personalized content, led to a 10% increase in 7-day user retention.
