| digital marketing in gaming industry: Digital Marketing Paulo Botelho Pires, José Duarte Santos, Inês Veiga Pereira, 2024-07-12 Digital marketing is not a new concept, it is not a trend, and it is not a fad either. Digital marketing has existed for over twenty years and is currently applied in all areas and marketing activities. For this reason, it is necessary to know the changes it has brought about, both in the theoretical framework, so that it can be taught, and from an empirical perspective, so that it can be applied in real contexts. The changes have been profound and far-reaching. This work addresses this theme, aiming to analyse the transversal impact of the digital in the different marketing sectors, describing the profound changes that the digital has provoked in the main marketing activities and their sectors, also referring to the current practices in use in each included topic. It begins by looking at the classic marketing topics, opening with an analysis of the impact that digital has had and is having on the marketing strategy of organisations, moving on to the study of consumer behaviour in an era of continuous use of electronic devices. This is followed by a new topic which is marketing research and data analysis, in a context where managers now have, more data, information and knowledge about the organisation, competitors, consumers and the wider environment than ever before. Marketing themes were also identified that have been significantly changed with digital. Communication is another of the themes of reference, with profound changes in recent times, followed by management of sales teams, supply chain management, relationship marketing, and internal marketing. The last chapters are also relevant contributions, being dedicated to marketing sectors: services, B2B marketing, internationalisation, politics, tourism, and NGOs. |

Game companies and their popularity are poorly understood and often ignored from the standpoint of traditional business strategy. Yet this industry generates billions in revenue by thinking creatively about digital distribution, free-to-play content, and phenomena like e-sports and live streaming. What lessons can we draw from its major successes and failures about the future of entertainment? One Up offers a pioneering empirical analysis of innovation and strategy in the video game industry to explain how it has evolved from a fringe activity to become a mainstream form of entertainment. Joost van Dreunen, a widely recognized industry expert with over twenty years of experience, analyzes how game makers, publishers, and platform holders have tackled strategic challenges to make the video game industry what it is today. Using more than three decades of rigorously compiled industry data, he demonstrates that video game companies flourish when they bring the same level of creativity to business strategy that they bring to game design.

| digital marketing in gaming industry: The Video Game Industry Peter Zackariasson, Timothy Wilson, 2012-08-21 The Video Game Industry provides a platform for the research on the video game industry to draw a coherent and informative picture of this industry. Previously this has been done sparsely through conference papers, research articles, and popular science books. Although the study of this industry is still stigmatized as frivolous and ‘only’ game oriented, those who grew up with video games are changing things, especially research agendas, the acceptance of studies, and their interpretation. This book describes and defines video games as their own special medium. They are not pinball from which they grew, nor movies which they sometimes resemble. They are a unique form of entertainment based on meaningful interactions between individuals and machine across a growing sector of the population. The Video Game Industry provides a reference foundation for individuals seriously interested in the industry at the academic level. As a result, this book will serve as a reference in curricula associated with video game development for years to come. |
| digital marketing in gaming industry: Traction Justin Mares, Gabriel Weinberg, 2014-08-26 Most startups end in failure. Almost every failed startup has a product. What failed startups don't have are enough customers. Traction Book changes that. We provide startup founders and employees with the framework successful companies use to get traction. It helps you determine which marketing channel will be your key to growth. If you can get even a single distribution channel to work, you have a great business. -- Peter Thiel, billionare PayPal founder The number one traction mistake founders and employees make is not dedicating as much time to traction as they do to developing a product. This shortsighted approach has startups trying random tactics -- some ads, a blog post or two -- in an unstructured way that will likely fail. We developed our traction framework called Bullseye with the help of the founders behind several of the biggest companies and organizations in the world like Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia), Alexis Ohanian (Reddit), Paul English (Kayak.com), Alex Pachikov (Evernote) and more. We interviewed over forty successful founders and researched countless more traction stories -- pulling out the repeatable tactics and strategies they used to get traction. Many entrepreneurs who build great products simply don't have a good distribution strategy. -- Mark Andreessen, venture capitalist Traction will show you how some of the biggest internet companies have grown, and give you the same tools and framework to get traction. |

| digital marketing in gaming industry: The Digital Role-Playing Game and Technical Communication Daniel Reardon, David Wright, 2021-04-22 With annual gross sales surpassing 100 billion U.S. dollars each of the last two years, the digital games industry may one day challenge theatrical-release movies as the highest-grossing entertainment media in the world. In their examination of the tremendous cultural influence of digital games, Daniel Reardon and David Wright analyze three companies that have shaped the industry: Bethesda, located in Rockville, Maryland, USA; BioWare in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; and CD Projekt Red in Warsaw, Poland. Each company has used social media and technical content in the games to promote players' belief that players control the companies' game narratives. The result has been at times explosive, as empowered players often attempted to co-op the creative processes of games through discussion board forum demands, fund-raising campaigns to persuade companies to change or add game content, and modifications (“modding”) of the games through fan-created downloads. The result has changed the way we understand the interactive nature of digital games and the power of fan culture to shape those games. |

Whether you’re making your first game or tenth, this book is a must read. – Paul Baldwin, Curve Digital The video game industry is a tough business and anyone looking to succeed in indie development should give The Business of Indie Games a read. – Graham Smith, Co-Founder of DrinkBox Studios This book is a fast track to success for anyone managing a game launch and looking to raise funding for their projects. It shares knowledge that you only learn after years of triumphs and failures within this industry. – Scott Drader, Co-Founder of Metalhead Software There’s nothing like The Business of Indie Games taught in school. You learn how to make a game, but not how to conduct business, market, and launch a game. This book dives into topics that every indie developer should know. – Yukon Wainczak, Founder of Snoozy Kazoo I’ve seen no better guide for understanding how the video game industry really works. An important read for anyone whose work touches games, including those of us looking to engage the community. – Carla Warner, Director of STREAM for No Kid Hungry The Business of Indie Games explores what many universities forget to cover: how to sell and market your own indie game to potential publishers and developers. While many classes help students on their way to designing and programming their own games, there are few classes that equip students with the skills to sell their own product. In essence, this means future indie game developers are not equipped to talk to investors, negotiate with publishers, and engage with major platforms like Steam and Nintendo. Authors Alex Josef, Alex Van Lepp, and Marshal D. Carper are looking to rectify this problem by helping indie game developers and companies level up their business acumen. With detailed chapters and sections that deal with different engines, negotiation tactics, and marketing, The Business of Indie Games is the perfect omnibus for up-and-coming indie game developers. The future of gaming curriculums is not just in teaching students how to create games but also in preparing them for the business of games. |
