Challenge

There are over 4.2 million apps. Over 1000 new Apps launch every single day. How do we get Appseed to stand out and rise above the rest? On top of that, Appseed is incredibly niche. It was created for App developers only so the audience is very specific. After launching, Appseed was off to a slow start. Our job was to jump in right away and turn the launch around ... getting it the attention it deserved.
