Indie Game Marketing

Social Media Management

We manage your social media presence across TikTok, Instagram, X, Meta, and YouTube, handling content creation, posting, scheduling, and ideation. Discord moderation is also part of the mix, keeping your players connected, informed, and always excited.

HOW WE WORK

Built with Heart and a Plan

Every indie game starts with passion. We make sure it reaches players with a clear, structured plan behind it.

01

Auditing

We start by getting to know your game, your audience, and your goals. We assess your current positioning, identify your target players, and map out the best channels and strategies to reach them.

02

Creating

With a clear direction in place, we get to work on the assets your game needs. Trailers, social media content, ad creatives, and PR drafts. Everything is built specifically for your game's identity.

03

Connecting

We put your game in front of the people who matter. Press outreach to relevant gaming publications, influencer activation across YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch, and community seeding to get the right conversations started.

04

Launching

Launch day is not the finish line. It is the payoff for everything that came before it. We coordinate the full launch push across social media, press, influencers, and paid media to make sure your game arrives with maximum momentum

05

Optimising

Once the campaign is live, we keep a close eye on performance. We track the data, identify what is working, cut what is not, and refine the strategy to keep your game growing well beyond launch day.

FAQ About Indie Game Marketing

I am a solo developer with no marketing experience. Where do I even start?

+
  • That is exactly the kind of situation we are built for. We start with an audit of your game, your current positioning, and your goals. From there, we build a clear plan around what your game needs the most. You don’t need to know anything about marketing coming in. That is our job. 

When should I start marketing my indie game?

+
  • The earlier the better. The most effective indie campaigns tart months before launch. Coming to us a few weeks before launch limits what we can achieve. 

Do I need a big budget to work with The Game Marketer?

+
  • Not at all. We have worked with solo developers and small indie studios at a range of budget sizes. What matters more than how much you spend is how strategically you spend it.

What makes indie game marketing different from marketing a AAA title?

+
  • Budget, timeline, and audience expectations are all different. Indie games often rely more heavily on community-driven discovery, niche press coverage, and organic influencer support than large-scale paid campaigns.

Can you help my indie game stand out on Steam specifically?

+
  • Yes. Steam is one of the most competitive platforms for indie games and we know how it works. From Steam page optimisation and wishlist campaigns to Steam Next Fest preparation and launch timing, we help indie developers build the right foundation on the platform.

Do you handle marketing for both PC and mobile indie games?

+
  • Yes. Whether your indie game is launching on Steam, console, iOS, or Android, we have experience across all platforms and can build a strategy catered to you.
