The Gaming Challenge

Players decide before launch, and most games are invisible until it's too late

Gaming is unlike any other market. Players discover games through streamers, communities and store algorithms, not banner ads; a PC game's fate is often decided by its Steam wishlist count before it even launches; a mobile game lives or dies on CPI versus lifetime value; and every platform, Steam, the App Store, Google Play, Discord, has its own rules for who gets seen. Most studios start marketing far too late, and by launch day, the window has already closed.

That's what we fix. We build wishlists and hype well before launch, run user-acquisition and ASO that keep CPI healthy, grow and manage the Discord communities where players actually live, connect you with the streamers and creators who drive real discovery, and keep players coming back through retention marketing. We market games the way games are actually found and bought.

FAQ

We answer all your daily questions

How do I market my indie game?

Indie success is built before launch, not after. Set up your Steam page early and drive wishlists (they power your launch-day visibility), build a community on Discord and social, get your game in front of the right streamers and content creators, and time a focused push around launch and key beats (demos, festivals, updates). Indies win on community and discovery, not ad budget, and that's exactly what we build.

How much should I spend on game marketing?

It depends enormously on platform and model, an indie premium game and a free-to-play mobile title have completely different economics. For mobile, spend is driven by CPI-to-LTV math and can scale as long as it's profitable; for indie, it's often more about time and community than big budgets, with focused spend around launch. After a free consult we recommend an approach and budget matched to your game and model, with no long lock-in contracts.

How do I get more Steam wishlists?

Wishlists come from visibility plus desire: a compelling store page (trailer, screenshots, clear hook), presence in Steam festivals and 'Next Fest' with a demo, streamer and press coverage, an active community funnelling fans to wishlist, and consistent content leading up to launch. Wishlists matter because they drive Steam's launch-day algorithm and visibility, so we treat growing them as a core pre-launch goal, starting as early as your store page is live.

What is CPI in mobile game marketing?

CPI is Cost Per Install, what you pay, on average, for each new player who installs your game through paid user acquisition. It's the core mobile-UA metric, but on its own it means little: what matters is CPI versus LTV (lifetime value), whether a player earns back more than they cost to acquire. We run UA that optimises toward profitable CPI-to-LTV, not just cheap installs, because cheap installs that never monetise or retain are worthless.

How do games find influencers and streamers?

The right creators are matched to your genre, audience size and tone, not just follower count, a mid-size streamer whose audience loves your genre often outperforms a huge generalist. We identify and reach out to relevant streamers and YouTubers, structure keys, codes and campaigns that respect how creators work, and build the kind of authentic coverage that actually drives wishlists and installs rather than a one-off spike.

When should I start marketing a game before launch?

Far earlier than most studios think, ideally as soon as you have a store page and something to show, often a year or more out. Wishlists and community compound slowly, and the launch-day spike depends on the audience you've built beforehand. Starting marketing a month before launch is the single most common, and most costly, mistake studios make. We help you build the runway early.

How do I improve player retention?

Retention is where games make or lose their money, acquiring a player who churns on day one is a loss. It's driven first by the game itself (onboarding, early fun, progression), and marketing supports it with lifecycle campaigns (push, email, in-game), live-ops and events, and an active community that gives players reasons to return. We build the retention and community marketing that turns installs into a lasting, engaged player base.

How do I get featured on the App Store or Google Play?

Store featuring is a major discovery lever, and it's earned, not bought. The stores favour polished, high-quality games with strong ratings, good retention and engagement metrics, timely updates, and use of their latest features, and a relationship with platform teams helps. We optimise your ASO, metrics and submission approach to maximise your featuring chances, which can transform a game's trajectory.
