What happens inside: * MAU Vegas stands out for its strong balance between high-quality content and exceptional networking opportunities.  * While sessions like RevenueCat’s interactive, game show-style presentation and discussions around CRM, AI, and web-to-app strategies were highly valuable, the real impact often comes from informal interactions: side conversations, speaker room discussions, and spontaneous exchanges. * Looking ahead, there is an opportunity to further enhance engagement by expanding interactive formats (e.g., gamified sessions) and increasing visibility and accessibility of roundtables and community-driven discussions. Strengthening these elements could deepen participation and make the experience even more impactful. George: MAU Vegas. What do you like, which content do you like? What do you do not? What content do you want to hear or see next year? Nay: What I love is the networking opportunity, the side conversations. Yes, the content was really rich, but some of my most valuable things were talking to someone in the speaker room or talking to someone at lunch or just having a small question by reading someone's shirt. That is so valuable about MAU, because you go on the stages. RevenueCat did a great session. There's a CRM AI session, there's a web, the app session, things that I'm not often thinking about at home, but then the side conversations are extremely valuable as well. And then some of the things that could be better. Maybe I'd like to have more opportunities, maybe it's me, just attending more roundtables like these discussions, more community interaction and maybe that's just me for not attending more of those opportunities.  George:  Got it. So, you like some content, some networking here, yes? What do you miss about the roundtable to get more engaged?  Nay: Yeah. But I'll give a shout out to RevenueCat’s presentation. Did you see that one? It was one that was like a game show. More like that would be so cool. Everyone was so engaged. Finding new ways to get people engaged is always good.    Thank you – and feel free to check the other episodes.

Plan for it. * Build scalable systems: Create a structure that allows growth and repetition without starting from scratch. * Accept imperfection: Not every market will have fully localized perfection. Focus on top geos first. * Use test markets: Choose one or two affordable markets to test ideas before scaling globally. * Adapt by region: Understand that what works in one country may not work in another; adjust as needed. * Prioritize strong copy: Good local-language copy is essential, bad translations hurt credibility. * Leverage AI + human review: Use AI for initial drafts, then rely on native proofreaders for quality. * Create a copy library: Build a reusable bank of high-performing copy for faster scaling. George: When you have a small team, how can you deal with different languages?  Adrian: Yes, I think when it comes to multilingual campaigns. And I'm talking maybe about 10+ languages. First you need to understand if you don't have enough resources the complexity is gonna increase a lot. Your companies are gonna be very complex and you need to be aware of that. So you need to develop a system that allows you to scale. I think first you need to assume that not everything is gonna be 100% perfect. And you cannot get into detail into every single country with a single deal. Maybe you can do it for your top geos but let's say, you know, you’re targeting Brazil and you're targeting Japan and okay, you can get into some specifics for each of them, but you cannot, if you have 12 countries, you have 15 countries, you're not gonna be able with small team to know everything, absolutely everything around every country. Also, for instance, about testing. So I think you need to find a testing market that works for you. That's maybe cheap and then that you can scale and you can adapt and try in the rest of the countries. And then you will see that not everything is gonna work for every country. But then you can adapt and for each of them and ask them goes by. And Finally, I would say that copy is very important. I think we all sometimes see ads that have a really bad copy in their own language and it looks really bad. So for instance, in our case we rely on our internal copy writer and the AI to kind of like a first goal. But then we also use proofreaders and native language to make sure that our copy is good enough. And during all this time, we've built like a library of copy that we know that we can rely on and if we need we can reuse or create new one. But I would say that's a very important part as well.  Thank you – and feel free to check the other episodes.

George: When you have a new launch of the app what mistakes shall you avoid?  Michelle: Okay, first of all, I will avoid just you going out there to test a bunch of like platforms or channels just because you have money. I mean a lot of people forget that: the first thing you really need to be focusing on, is testing the product and making sure that your product and market fits, it's actually the right one, getting some user feedback, and starting slowly. Because pretty much a phase in which you need to prove that you're adding some value and that your strategy is going to work. So you don't want to spend all your budget. So first, I will avoid that.  Second, I will put a lot of focus on the ASO that you're listing so that, everything really sends the right message to the target that you want to reach. And put some like organization in your organic channels first. And if you have like, a good sense of, you know, you feel confident and you want to go there, start testing slowly. Also choose very well the channels because sometimes, people don't know that to really fully get the most out of Google or Tiktok your daily budget and the amount of data that the platform needs to be very high. So sometimes their small budgets are going to be you know like spend super fast and that's it. So sometimes it's not the right way. You really need to explore what is the best for your product to test a real hypothesis that you are aware of, that you have the data to support it, and that you will really have an idea about what you're doing.  On that… Additionally, I will start to choose tools that mainly are free. Maybe rely on the Firebase, rely on the App Store data, or try to get your own data, your first daily data. And then, as soon as you can grow, you may be considered to maybe go for, you know, other kinds platforms and MMP, etc... Yeah, a bigger one with more capacity and also more advantages. But be careful and never understand, never forget the moment that your startup or your app is, and go slowly. ► Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi5bKzetDnfMmstGNDCZaVw?sub_confirmation=1 to check the other episodes.
