Leading UK games developer and publisher Jagex has announced it is expanding its Product and Analytics & Data Science teams with a bumper batch of new hires. Supporting the continued success of the RuneScape franchise as it marks its 20th anniversary as a living game, as well as other new product initiatives, the recruits will be instrumental in building new game experiences across Jagex’s current and future projects.

Glen Pryer has joined the company as Senior Director of Analytics, Data Science & Engineering. With more than 15 years in the games industry, having worked for companies including Blizzard and Microsoft, Glen joins Jagex from EA where he led a global team in building and driving the use of data to inform decision making in design, player satisfaction, retention and revenue – as well and long-range forecasting for multiple studios and franchises.

Justin Logan joins the Analytics, Data Science and Engineering team, joining as Director of Analytics. Justin has 10+ years of games analytics experience, having worked previously for Microsoft and EA, where he led the planning, execution, and delivery of analytics for games including Minecraft, Halo, Apex Legends and the Battlefield franchise. Marc Kerr further bolsters the team, joining Jagex as Director of Data Engineering. Marc began his career at Rare before working in fields such as fintech, ecommerce and data forensics.

Michael Hooper comes to Jagex as the Head of Product Marketing. Michael has been working as a product marketer in the gaming space for seven years, first at Corsair Memory and then at Wargaming across its range of live-service free-to-play games. There he managed a global team of more than 20 marketers, content creators, artists, and advertisers.

Stefan Wittelsburger completes the line up as Lead Product Manager for Old School RuneScape. Stefan is an accomplished Game Director and Producer with 10+ years of experience across various Mobile & PC games as well as digital marketing and social media.

Phil Mansell, CEO, Jagex said: “While 2020 was a challenging year for many, we are thrilled to be in a position where we can continue to expand our team and bring on board so many talented individuals across Analytics & Data Science and Product Management . Investing in the top talent who really get the needs of the community and understand the demands of big online games is essential to our success, and we are happy that it has continued to pay off despite industry wide disruption to the traditional hiring process. We look forward to talking more about what some of these new team members will be working on later in 2021 as we continue to evolve the 20-year strong RuneScape franchise and introduce our first third-party game to be published under our Jagex Partners programme.”

Scaling In-App Traffic in iGaming: A Performance-Driven Approach

Published

on

scaling-in-app-traffic-in-igaming:-a-performance-driven-approach

Traffy, a performance marketing agency specializing in in-app traffic, has seen a clear shift in how iGaming campaigns scale today.

The era of “launch and forget” in iGaming is over. The market has become more competitive, and users are more demanding than ever. Scaling campaigns is no longer just about volume — success now depends on the depth of analytics, the speed of response to user behavior, and traffic quality.

Market Transformation

In the past, scaling followed a simple logic: more traffic meant more conversions. Today, that approach no longer works. Users have become more selective, and both CPA and ROI are directly tied to post-deposit behavior.

If advertisers fail to track key performance indicators within the first 72 hours — including user activity, repeat deposits, and conversion to FTD — budgets are spent without control, and scaling turns into guesswork.

New Requirements for Scaling

Scaling campaigns today requires a much more structured approach:

  • Funnel analysis within the first 72 hours to quickly identify effective setups
  • Traffic segmentation and strict quality control
  • Continuous monitoring of user activity, repeat deposits, and FTD conversion rates

If there is no positive performance trend within the first three days, the setup is stopped immediately. This allows teams to minimize losses and reallocate budgets toward high-performing campaigns.

Common Pitfalls of Legacy Approaches

Many operators and affiliates still rely on outdated strategies that limit their ability to scale effectively:

  • Focusing solely on CPA without considering unit economics and profitability
  • Scaling broadly without proper traffic segmentation
  • Lack of predictive analytics in the early stages of campaigns
  • Underestimating traffic quality and fraud risks

These issues lead to unstable performance, rising CPI, and a loss of control over ROI.

The Traffy Approach

At Traffy, we build scalable infrastructure designed to manage in-app traffic with a performance-first mindset.

  • Traffic quality control: black and white lists, ongoing audits, and integrated fraud analytics
  • AI-driven optimization: algorithms that predict campaign performance and dynamically reallocate budgets toward the most efficient setups
  • Performance focus: real-time analysis of the first 72 hours, deep segmentation, and continuous monitoring of key metrics and ROI

This approach allows us to scale only the traffic that is proven to be profitable, reducing risks and improving predictability at scale.

Conclusion

A performance-driven approach has become essential for scaling In-App campaigns in iGaming. The key to success lies in deep analytics, traffic segmentation, predictive modeling, and strict control within the first 72 hours.

The market has changed — and those who succeed are not the ones who scale volume, but those who scale quality traffic.

At Traffy, this approach is at the core of how we build and scale campaigns, ensuring sustainable growth and measurable performance for our partners.
