Hi everyone,

In this episode, we have a fascinating conversation with Andy Carvell, co-founder of Phiture, a mobile growth agency, and former SoundCloud senior product manager.

We dive into his mobile growth stack, retention strategies, and the exciting things they did at SoundCloud to improve retention.

We also learn about Andy's early days developing mobile games on Nokia 3310s and reminisce about classic games like 'Space Impact' or ‘Snake‘, see above.

Tune in for an insightful discussion on app growth and gaming nostalgia. 🎧✨

Some key takeaways:

🥞 The Mobile Growth Stack: Andy explains the concept and how it can be applied to boost retention and drive growth in your app.

☎️ Talk to Your Users: One of the biggest lessons learned from SoundCloud is the importance of constant communication with your users.

💰 Early Monetization: Andy shares valuable insight from his experience at SoundCloud – it's challenging to make users pay for a product once they've been enjoying it for free. We also dive into using push notifications effectively.

Now go have a listen. 🎧
