How Ad Geeks Boosted Halyk Bank’s App Engagement with Behavioral Insights
Discover how Ad Geeks helped Halyk Bank go beyond installs and build a smarter mobile experience. Through a two-phase campaign blending creative storytelling and deep behavioral analysis, we improved user engagement, onboarding, and retention - turning insights into real growth.
The Challenge
Halyk Bank is a leading financial brand in Georgia, but their mobile app wasn’t gaining traction. The issue wasn’t just low installs - It was low engagement and unclear product understanding.
We needed to answer:
Where do users drop off?
What confuses or frustrates them?
How can we improve the experience post-install?
Our Two-Phase Approach
Phase 1: Building Awareness & Trust
Before optimizing the user journey, we had to invite users in. We launched a high-impact awareness campaign across:
Meta (Facebook, Instagram)
YouTube via Display & Video 360
Creative Strategy:
Story-driven videos featuring Georgian celebrities
Focus on real-life banking scenarios and key app features
Goal: Make the app familiar, trusted, and top-of-mind.
Phase 2: Driving Action & Analyzing the Journey
With attention secured, we shifted to performance and insights. We focused on:
Driving installs with value-based “Shadow Ads”
Retargeting high-intent audiences
Optimizing creatives based on early behaviors
More importantly - we analyzed the full user journey:
Where users dropped off
What screens caused friction
Which features weren’t being discovered
Why This Matters
Most campaigns stop at the install. We don’t. We mapped real user behavior and helped Halyk Bank:
Improve onboarding
Remove friction
Increase app stickiness and feature adoption
