Team Research & Outreach and Partners & Personalities
The Game Marketer researched the competitive rosters of other leading esports titles such as Valorant, and League of Legends using them as a vector through which we identified the key demographics who engaged with similar products and developed a target audience.. This allowed initial outreach to begin, speaking to and confirming many of the industry's biggest teams including Alliance and eRaEternity. With over 120 teams we approached, the priority of the team was to ensure that potential coverage was spread across those several key demographics which were highlighted in the research phase.
The Game Marketer outreached to various personalities and partners in the initial phase, these conversations demonstrated the most challenges, due to the age of the title, many partners struggled to see the value in providing resources to the studio. However, with perseverance personalities were acquired including the likes of FaceIt and James Bardolph.
