Approaching mobile app marketing using the motto, “If you build it, they will come” is the quickest route to experiencing underwhelming installation and engagement rates.

But how? Paid advertising is one popular method. Mobile ad networks for marketing apps and real-time bidding exchanges allow marketers to rack up ad impressions by bidding for real estate on people’s screens.
