    For the sixth day of our advent calendar, we come bearing virtual gifts. We have some exclusive video content you won’t want to miss out discussing everything about how you can propel your game to success from those that have done it before.

    Learn exactly how you’re going to propel your app to success through a battle-tested mobile game launch strategy from Stillfront Group’s Performance Marketing Team Lead, Alexey Gusev, as presented at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki 2022 in September 2022 during the Art of Publishing track session. Learn more about the session and watch it below:

    The last couple of years was not only the time of great turbulence, uncertainty and opportunities in the mobile gaming industry, but also years of outstanding growth. Simultaneously, the field is getting more and more competitive and saturated so it is even more important now to nail down such basics as a mobile game launch strategy. This presentation will cover the core steps of the mobile game launch strategy from the marketing perspective from the concept phase to the marketing launch and ways to maximise the output of every stage.

     

    Looking to learn more about what it takes to bring your game to market and propel your games to success? We have plenty more content coming your way this January 23rd-24th at our flagship conference in London, Pocket Gamer Connects London.

    Keep on reading to find out how to get involved!

    The Very Big Indie Pitch(es)
    Following PG Connects London’s incredibly successful Very Big Indie Pitch opportunities last year, they will return for Pocket Gamer Connects London 2023!

    The Very Big Indie Pitch features two editions once more this year, one geared towards mobile games and another for PC and console developers. These speed dating format competitions give each developer five minutes with each panel of experts, meaning entrants get genuine constructive feedback from the event.

    They are fun but hotly contested events that have proved a genuine game-changer for teams in the past.

    The winner for each event further earns editorial coverage on PCGamesInsider.biz, alongside the chance to impress our other journalists in attendance, making this a great chance to get you, your studio, and your game played by the media – alongside potentially winning a share of a large Steel Media marketing package.

    The deadline to submit your game is midnight on Friday, 6th January 2023 but don’t wait up! The sooner, the better. Spots get filled up fast, so to avoid disappointment, don’t wait to submit your game for consideration.

    How do I apply?

    What past participants have to say

    "I've been participating in the Big Indie Pitch on and off for several years now, and I'd recommend it to any indie in any stage of development. It is said that if you can't describe your game in a sentence, it'll never sell. The speed-date format is an incredibly valuable exercise to gauge reactions, gain feedback, and overall help hone that elevator pitch to distill your idea into its marketable core."

    - Kevin Beimers, Director at Italic Pig
