What is One2Note?
One2Note is a productivity application available on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The app helps users capture notes, manage tasks, and stay organized — competing in one of the most saturated app categories in the market.
When they came to Smart Hive Marketing, the app had only 10 downloads. No online presence. No strategy. Our challenge was to build everything from the ground up and achieve measurable growth within 4 months.
💡 Starting from 10 downloads, we had to build the entire marketing ecosystem — ASO, paid ads, social media, content, and a website — from scratch.

Ads with Advanced Tracking
Running ads without proper tracking is guesswork. We built a full attribution and tracking system to measure every install, in-app event, and purchase — allowing data-driven optimization across every channel.
