Are you a brand that wants to explore and understand the esports and gaming industry better so you can develop meaningful, long-lasting relationships with gamers?
For switched-on marketers, especially for brands seeking new ways to drive results, the esports and gaming industry represents a new audience to create long-term partnerships with.
When Reuters comments on the growth in gaming during the COVID-19 lockdowns around the world, it’s time for brands and companies in all sectors to consider how gaming can play a part in their strategic marketing.
This goes way beyond hard-core gamers. Gamers of all ages, many backgrounds, and across multiple genres, have turned to gaming for the first time, returned to gaming or increased the amount of time they spend gaming.
Research also suggests that many new and returning gamers plan to continue gaming in the future.
This represents a huge opportunity for both B2B and Consumer (B2C) brands to start engaging with this audience.
Some questions you might be thinking about are:
- – How do I do this?
- – What are the opportunities?
- – How big are the risks?
- – What investment do I need – financially and emotionally?
- – And, most important of all, what does success look like?
To help provide you with the answer to these questions goto.game has brought together industry experts to help demystify the esports and gaming industry and share their experiences working with gamers.
On 6 August, gotogame.temp927.kinsta.cloud will be hosting an online virtual event specifically for non-gaming brands to learn how they can be involved in the biggest digital entertainment media in the region!
