Flexion is targeting TikTok influencers for a reliable, low-cost return on user acquisition. The company’s influencer marketing agency, Audiencly, is changing a chunk of its nearly 7,000 top influencers using a service from Liteup Media.

It connects developers to influencers through a mobile app after precisely matching the right target demographic. Influencers add details about their specific audiences and their types of content when they sign up.
The service tracks influencer followers and only charges developers once a user has installed the game being advertised. (User acquisition is critical to get games noticed amid a sea of competition, but it has gotten harder lately as Apple prioritizes privacy over targeted ads in mobile games).
