Something quite different
Not just game marketing services A mix of marketing & dev-alignment.
We offer end-to-end video game marketing services, including market positioning, marketing strategy, Steam page optimisation, influencer campaigns, PR, social media, paid advertising, community growth and launch support. Whether you need a complete marketing partner or targeted support, we adapt our services around your game, team and development stage.
So what makes us different?
We don't just know how to market games. We build them too, working inside production teams to help shape the product for the best positioning, audience appeal and market fit throughout development.
​
Successful games are rarely the result of guesswork. They come from constant refinement, playtesting and collaboration across design, programming, art, audio, production and marketing. As the game evolves, so do the expectations of the market. We work with your team and find the best solutions to solve both complex in-game gameplay appeal, external market expectations & growth.
​
Passion for making a great game is essential, but passion alone does not make a game marketable. Developers are understandably focused on building the game. We focus on making sure what they are building has the strongest possible chance of finding, attracting and converting the right audience.
​
vMarketer helps you answer the questions production teams often don’t have time or distance to answer properly: Is the game appealing to the right audience? Are we communicating the strongest features? Is the Steam page doing the game justice? Are we building the right assets? Is the game becoming easier or harder to sell as development changes?
​
That means fewer late marketing surprises, clearer priorities for production, stronger market fit, and a better chance of launching a game people already understand and want.
We align game + marketing for
stronger video game advertising
Because we work closely with your team and understand how the game is being shaped, our advertising goes deeper than simply promoting what is obvious. We identify the hidden moments, mechanics, behaviours and player experiences with the strongest potential to be shared, talked about and turned into audience growth.
​
That insight informs everything from TikTok, YouTube and short-form video to influencer campaigns, UGC, live-action, skits, trends, performance ads and user acquisition campaigns. The result is creative that feels native to the game, resonates with the right players and is built to drive wishlists, installs, engagement and sales.
There's a lot to games marketing, here are the most commonly requested services:
Video Game Marketing Strategy
Build a stronger, more marketable game with audience research, market positioning, competitor analysis, playtesting and marketing strategy integrated with your development team.
Steam Marketing & Wishlist Growth
Improve your Steam page, positioning, discoverability and conversion with Steam marketing designed to grow wishlists and build demand before launch.
