  • Embracing complexity and compliance in modern user acquisition

    Our panel of experts delivers a Growth Track session at Pocket Gamer Connects Seattle 2019 on May 13th to 14th.

    The panel includes:

    • Dan Laughlin, Advisor
    • Jami Wardman, Senior Business Development, Lab Cave
    • Faith Price, Head of UA, DoubleDown Interactive
    • Loukas Petropouleas, SVP of US Operations, Minimob
    • Robert Garfinkle, Senior User Acquisition Manager, Nexon M

    Mobile has matured and user acquisition teams are bombarded with endlessly nuanced opportunities and challenges. Automated creative optimisation, seemingly magical lookalike audiences, and machine learning-driven bidding are options we didn’t dream of in the early days, but now developers must harness these advances or be left in the dust.

    Meanwhile, developers can quickly turn to dust if they ignore the daunting scrutiny and regulations that encircle today’s industry. Our experienced panellists will share their tips on how to navigate and succeed in this new age.

  • Marketing and business on a budget for indie developers

    APPatheia LLC Founder & CEO Kelly Maguire delivers a Growth Track session at Pocket Gamer Connects Seattle 2019 on May 13th to 14th.

    A focus on the challenges of establishing marketing & business as a core tenet of an indie studio or project. From a marketing perspective, how to setup a foundation of non-paid opportunities, how to connect with others to try and develop relationships for getting coverage, and how to use lower cost acquisition channels to drive new players.

    From a business perspective, how to consider monetization within the game concept and how to account for paying players, non-paying players, and the best way to optimise for both in order to ensure a game is viable as a commercial effort and not just a passion project.
