Our Video Game Marketing Services in Canada
Here’s a breakdown of how our video game marketing services in Canada can help you achieve measurable success:
Pre-Launch Marketing Campaigns
We believe the groundwork for a successful game launch starts well before the game is available. Pre-launch marketing builds momentum by raising awareness, creating anticipation, and leading early support for your game. Our team focuses on building a strong community, reaching influencers, and ensuring your game’s presence across social media channels, gaming forums, and media outlets.
- How we solve your problem: Many developers wait until the last minute to start their marketing, which can lead to weak launch results. By building a community and gaining early traction, you can ensure maximum visibility right from the start. We’ll help you develop content strategies that position your game for success and provide measurable metrics to show the results.
Influencer and Streamer Marketing
The gaming influencer ecosystem is one of the most powerful ways to generate interest in your game. We have access to a wide network of top-tier streamers and influencers who can create engaging content that showcases your game to an interactive audience. Whether it’s through Twitch, YouTube, or Instagram, we’ll connect you with influencers who align with your game’s target demographic and increase exposure.
- How we solve your problem: You can’t just rely on organic reach anymore. Influencers can significantly increase your game’s visibility by providing genuine promotion to their followers. We make sure your marketing dollars go further by connecting your game with influencers that will get it in front of the right people.
Social Media Campaigns
With social media being an essential part of game marketing, our team focuses on building a solid presence for your game across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. We create targeted ads, run engagement campaigns, and foster community interactions that build loyalty and keep your game in the spotlight.
- How we solve your problem: Many game developers make the mistake of posting randomly on social media, resulting in poor engagement. Our planned social media campaigns ensure that your posts, ads, and community interactions generate genuine interaction and lead traffic to your game. We’ll refine campaigns to ensure you’re spending efficiently and seeing results.
Game Launch Strategy
The launch day is critical—it’s where all your hard work needs to come to fruition. We’ll help you plan a smooth game launch strategy that includes everything from press outreach to media kits and launch events. We work to ensure your game gets the attention of media outlets, influencers, and fans when it’s time for the big reveal.
- How we solve your problem: A poorly executed launch can make or break your game’s success. With our experience and strategy, we ensure that your game’s launch is as impactful as possible, leading to immediate buzz, high engagement, and solid player acquisition.
Community Building and Management
Once your game is out, it’s crucial to maintain a strong community of loyal players. We build and manage communities across platforms like Discord, Reddit, and Facebook groups. Our focus is on fostering conversations, creating user-generated content, and keeping the excitement around your game alive for months after launch.
- How we solve your problem: After launch, many games fade into obscurity. By nurturing your community, we keep your player base engaged and excited for future updates. A well-maintained community not only keeps players active but also becomes a valuable resource for feedback and organic promotion.
Game PR and Media Outreach
Getting the right press coverage for your game can elevate it to new heights. We specialize in game PR, building relationships with key journalists, gaming bloggers, and news outlets. Our services include press releases, media pitching, and game reviews to ensure your game is talked about in the right circles.
- How we solve your problem: Securing media coverage can be challenging. Our team knows how to create a compelling narrative around your game that will capture journalists’ attention and get your game in front of a wider audience.
Paid Advertising Campaigns
Sometimes, organic reach isn’t enough. That’s where paid advertising comes in. We specialize in running targeted ads on Google, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. From search ads to display ads, we create ads that reach the right audience, lead traffic to your game, and convert views into sales.
- How we solve your problem: Wasted ad spend is one of the biggest pitfalls in game marketing. We target the right demographics with data-led strategies, ensuring that your budget is spent efficiently and your game gets noticed by the people most likely to play it.
Post-Launch Marketing and Analytics
Once your game is live, it’s essential to monitor performance and adjust your marketing strategies. We provide ongoing post-launch support through analytics tracking, player feedback gathering, and campaign adjustments. We monitor engagement, sales, and user retention to refine your marketing efforts continuously.
- How we solve your problem: Many developers focus only on the pre-launch and launch phases, ignoring post-launch marketing. By consistently monitoring results and adjusting our strategies, we ensure that your game remains relevant and profitable well after launch.
