Game Marketing Strategy

A game release needs to follow and take maximum advantage of industry and development beats, alongside expertly crafted creative and press resources, to make a maximum impact at all levels of pre-release, release, and post-release marketing. 

Competition Analysis

We compare games against competition and adjacent titles in order to provide realistic competitive benchmarks and market recommendations. We look at game performance, fit for market, audience demographics, and more to build a coherent vision of where your title sits.

Start Now

Audience Discovery

A targeted audience performs better than a big audience. We use data-driven analytics to size, qualify, and characterise game markets to understand player habits, methods of engagement, and where your audience truly lies.

Press Planning

The reveal of your game never happens all at once and is tied to your development cycle and seasonality in gaming. We help you reveal your game to the world one step at a time, connecting with Tier 1 publishing networks, reviewers, game influencers, and other qualified content creators to showcase your game as it gets ready for market.

Creative Development

We specialise in building narrative cadence into game release strategies, and that means supplementing your pre-release with high-quality, resonant trailers, store page graphics, and social content. 

Think Outside the Box

Product Communications

How you talk about your game will reflect in how players share, engage with, and relate to its content. We manage full Tone-of-Voice and brand language development for games and studios, developing content plans for store pages, press releases, web pages, community comms, and much more.

FAQ About Release Strategy

When should I start planning my release?

+
  • It’s never too early to begin putting a plan in place for your game. Depending on your budget size, team size, and project, you may be looking at 6 months to over 24 months of marketing activity prior to release. Some releases focus very strongly on executing a strong pre-release, while others build a community and focus over a longer period of time. It’s important you begin that conversation as early as possible in order to allocate the time and resources to marketing your release. 

Do I need to do everything, including Paid Media, PR, and Influencers?

+
  • There is no one-size-fits-all answer because it depends on your game's genre, target audience, and goals. We can help you create a release strategy fit to your budget and tailored to your game’s strengths and identity.

How do you measure a successful strategy?

+
  • We measure a successful strategy through proven results with past campaigns, alongside a structured, week-by-week activation plan for release strategies to ensure that our strategies remain practical and useful, rather than abstract.

What can I expect from your team for strategic input?

+
  • We service end-to-end strategy and research for games marketing, including market research, competitor research, page performance analytics, benchmarking, conversion and more.

Do you only work with big studios and publishers?

+
  • Not at all. We have worked with solo developers, indie studios, and major publishers. 

What type of releases do you develop strategies for?

+
  • We have dedicated experience across both PC and mobile, including Steam wishlist campaigns, App Store and Google Play user acquisition, and everything in between. We have full coverage.
