Own Your Niche: Find Your Fans with Audience Insight
Wondering if a Fortnite streamer will enjoy your indie roguelike turn-based medieval-inspired RPG? Probably not.
Good news: not every game will benefit from hitting the widest possible audience. Sometimes, your game or your budget means you have to go specific – often, it's a much better strategy than throwing content creators against the wall and seeing which one sticks (sorry, creators!).
Social media fuels algorithmic niches, making it easier for you to saturate a specific online space. In this talk, I'll show you how to focus on niche communities instead of raising broad awareness, creating true fans in the process.
Session Takeaway
- You'll have a greater understanding of audience research, including best research tools.
- You'll know the pros and cons of targeting smaller but better-connected gaming communities.
- You'll gain practical insight into how to execute niche marketing campaigns.
