Date: Friday 1st September
Time:2:55pm
I’ve been marketing games for over 9 years, from big AAA titles all the way to premium indies. Perhaps it’s nostalgia, maybe old age (tbh, I’m not THAT old), or just looking back at ones career, but I thought that passing on nine truths and lessons that I’ve learned could be useful to people that want to learn more about marketing games. I want to share some of the knowledge I’ve picked up when it comes to defining ones audience; what to say, how to say it, and to whom. I want to talk about gaming trends (which genres to make, what sells) and how hard it is to predict what’s next – but be warry of going after what’s popular now. I want to share some points of view when looking at marketing from a business/studio perspective, and finally how you can turn threats into opportunities. I guess you can call this talk “9 marketing lessons from someone that’s been doing this for a while & wants you to know these things so your life will be easier” but I guess that might be a bit less catchy.
