Your Game’s Marketing Blueprint

Developing a game is hard enough, and now you have to do marketing too?! This session is designed to help you find a manageable starting place in finding and connecting with your target players. You can’t do everything (and the good news is you don’t have to) but identifying where and when to promote your game will serve you well in the long run!

Jen Corbett currently serves as Head of Marketing at Midwest Games where she leads marketing for portfolio and client games. She has been a Vice President for Sony and Discovery focused on catching fan’s attention and building engaging online communities. At Crunchyroll, Jen launched cross-channel marketing campaigns for top anime titles, blockbuster films, and Crunchyroll Games and started the annual Anime Awards.
