Strategic Marketing in Gaming As the global gaming market becomes increasingly saturated, with 40% of the world’s population now playing video games, effective marketing is more essential than ever. Game studios, spending about a quarter of their revenue on marketing, often misdirect these funds due to poor targeting, ineffective use of channels, and a lack of alignment between their development, marketing, and finance teams. To succeed, companies must focus on understanding their audience, aligning marketing with long-term goals, and using AI to optimize campaigns and boost engagement. In this competitive and high-risk industry, where familiar games dominate, smart marketing strategies are key to standing out and securing lasting success. #GamingIndustry #MarketingStrategy #AIinGaming #GameDevelopment #MarketSaturation #UserAcquisition #GamingTrends #DigitalMarketing #GamingSuccess #GamingInsights #GameMarketing #TechInGaming #CompetitiveGaming #GamingEconomics #MobileGaming #PlayerEngagement #MarketingInnovation #GamingBusiness #StrategicGrowth

ICYMI: It's clear that gaming is more than a "person", it's a platform. Newzoo recently released engagement stats about Aussies interacting with gaming and surprise, most people are gaming! So as marketers if we're not trying to reach everyone on a platform, how can we target customers with a strong gaming idea? Here are some great targeting options outside of mobile programmatic. 👾 by game: each game attracts a certain audience that is aligned with the games IP or core mechanics. There are levels of brand safety that can be adjusted in many games as well. 📽 by genre: game-type has a broader approach and can see an idea spread across multiple games. Examples here being racing, puzzle, shooters. There are even games with multiple genres within its walls (Roblox, Fortnite, etc.) 🧔 by creator: demographic audience data and content-genre alignment are available on all social platforms. Creators also have a range of hobbies outside of gaming that their audience knows them for. If you're looking to learn more about targeting gaming audiences more organically with an idea let's chat! #strategy #targeting #audiences
