Weve all heard that you need to spend money to make money and this is more true than ever as the gaming market becomes more saturated. Using the stock market as an analogy, I'll focus on why you should be marketing your game and how you can do that effectively. I'll share with you key marketing strategies I've learned while working in marketing for the past 10 years. We'll talk about setting budgets (both low and high), traffic split, mitigating risk and more. I'll present current data, trends and case study information from marketing our wide portfolio of Kongregate games.

Takeaway

By the end of this talk developers should walk away with actionable plan to either begin marketing their game or improving the profitability of their current performance marketing.

Intended Audience

Developers who may not have a large marketing team, a strong marketing background, indie developers or anyone who is not completely up to date on the current marketing trends.
