| Overview: | A well planned marketing timeline is an essential but often overlooked part of game production that is crucial for visibility and preparedness. Learn step-by-step instructions to plan the 6-18 month timeline starting with pre-announcement and ending with the game's launch (spoiler alert: it's by working backwards from your launch to your initial announcement). This talk will show the market research necessary to create your timeline, and how to integrate it with the production schedule, public marketing beats, and internal milestones. nnYou'll also learn common mistakes which can needlessly hurt your game's visibility or lead to crunch. We will share examples from real marketing timelines and mistakes from our projects and you will walk away with a holistic view of marketing and realistic expectations of what you need to plan effectively. |
