Yaqoot’s Acquisition Win: Gaining 30K New Customers With Bidease


As the digital SIM brand of Zain KSA, Saudi Arabia’s third-largest telecom operator, Yaqoot keeps its customers in the Middle East connected. With no stores and no contracts, Yaqoot was built for the mobile-first generation. All it takes is three simple steps to activate the Yaqoot eSim, and à la carte voice and data packages make it easy for customers to purchase exactly what they need without any unnecessary add-ons.
Going into 2025, Yaqoot had ambitious growth goals. Of course, reaching high-intent users at scale is no easy feat in one of the most competitive telecom markets in the world. Enter Bidease, a fully managed in-app programmatic DSP powered by neural networks. With Bidease’s help, Yaqoot’s ads reached the right buyers at the right time.
Yaqoot’s goal was to reach high-intent mobile audience segments in Saudi Arabia and consistently scale monthly SIM sales volume. With existing DSP channels no longer delivering results, it was time to diversify Yaqoot’s paid media mix.
To keep acquisition costs from spiraling out of control, Yaqoot set an aggressive cost-per-sale target. Using CPS as its primary KPI to ensure growth remained profitable as budgets increased, Yaqoot set about finding a new DSP partner to help with these objectives:
Purpose-built for performance-driven campaigns in competitive markets, Bidease turned out to be the ideal partner to help fuel Yaqoot’s growth. After significant advances to its technology stack, Bidease transitioned from conventional machine-learning models to a proprietary neural network that shortens time-to-goal for its partners. Bidease’s neural network enables more sophisticated bid optimization, sharper audience targeting, and more accurate prediction of high-intent users at scale.
For Yaqoot, this upgrade came just in time. Through OMD, Bidease placed Yaqoot’s ads directly inside the apps its potential customers use every day. Creative assets and messaging were tailored to different audience segments by featuring distinct SIM packages, and Bidease also utilized seasonal shifts; for example, a back-to-school campaign in September 2025 targeted students and their parents.
The campaign kicked off in June 2025 prioritizing the higher-converted iOS users. An Android expansion followed in October to broaden reach across the full market. Neural network models optimized bidding every day to adjust alongside the market and react to real-time signals. By prioritizing inventory with the highest conversion probability at the most efficient cost, Bidease established strong performance baselines.
As the campaign continued, the budget scaled aggressively while keeping that $30 CPS target in mind. Throughout this seven-month period, the campaign deployed $794,788 in fully digital in-app spend. Performance was tracked and verified daily through Adjust MMP and Traffic Guard, enabling continuous optimization across exchanges, publishers, and creative formats.
From June through December 2025, Yaqoot’s Bidease campaign brought in 29,611 new customers. Monthly SIM sales grew 2.9X during that time, and Bidease drove 20% of total paid sales — all at 20% lower cost than any other channel. With an average CPS of $27, Bidease easily stayed below Yaqoot’s ambitious target while delivering tens of thousands of new customers.
In helping Yaqoot successfully scale acquisition and boost sales, Bidease also proved the power of its neural network. With the right technology partner, in-app programmatic isn’t just another channel — it’s a performance engine. For Yaqoot, Bidease became the most efficient customer acquisition channel in its entire paid media mix.
