Unity's LevelPlay Growth Manager, Gal Shneor, emphasizes the new growth opportunities. Gus Viegas from Lessmore notes it became a top ad revenue source. Monica Hu from Hungry Studio recommends it for high-performance monetization.
Yusuke In from New Story Inc. sees potential in Moloco's UA solution as well. Overall, the Moloco SDK aims to deliver better value and performance for both marketers and publishers in the mobile advertising ecosystem.
