The wait is over! After reviewing all of the submissions to our Mobile Growth Stories Challenge, it’s time to announce the winners! Our judging panel (below) were impressed by the breadth and depth of the stories we received.
As mobile developers ourselves, we struggled growing our own apps and coming up with ideas on growth. We hosted this competition in order to celebrate developers, marketers, and product managers by giving them an opportunity to share their experiences in mobile app growth with our community. The three Prizes are $5,000 each and all qualified submissions will also receive mobile growth swag baskets.
And the winners are…
