Videogame MarketingWorkshops
During my career I’ve been compiling many lessons learned from the projects I’ve been involved in. With those I have created a course and a workshop that aims to cover the most relevant aspects related to communication / marketing, distribution and funding models for independent game developers. Those are my main goals with this workshop:
- Integrate the communication/marketing of the product along with its development.
- Identify the target audience of the game and design a communication strategy that suits it the best.
- Learn to use social networks and social media tools.
- How to talk to the press and to your audience / community.
- The importance of communication among the team members.
- Introduction. Factors why good games commercially fail.
- Independent game development.
- The importance of communications in the development team.
- Social networks management.
- Community feedback and QA management.
- Funding models.
- Promoting your game: Tools and strategies.
