GGG Marketing Guy would love your ideas!
"dont know about "cost effective" but it's out of the box marketing. You heard about a game called Anodyne? (http://www.anodynegame.com/) well i found about this indie guys through thepiratebay, they had some sort of deal and where on their front page a week or two, and uploaded for free (now $9.99) the game for people to download. couldnt hurt to contact hose guys :) |

Not sure how many current followers for youtube channels like SourceFed and sxephil ( Phillip DeFranco ) it was around 500,000 for sxephil at one point. Both are pretty chill and do news and gaming reviews, I would just drop him a line and have him do a review. That would be a free 1/4 to 1/2 million views..... so it shouldn't break the marketing bank.
A subscribers comment is actually how I heard about POE a couple years ago. echo "The world is full of smart people" |sed -e 's/smart people/sheep/'

I read all my game info from TeamLiquid.net

I think the easiest and cheapest way to get some publicity is to make a cool mtx and give it to everyone who subscribes to your YouTube channel and likes you on Facebook. It's really basic and I wonder why you guys haven't done it yet.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

I think most English native speakers will have their respective sites like IGN and most non-native English speaker will have their gaming sites in their native languages. I for example only visit one gaming site and that´s in my native language. The good thing: They regularly report about PoE. ;)
No idea how to merge those sources though. What can never be lent or earned?
Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i? |

GGG marketing guy: self found league and then announce it on your main site. You will have a lot of my money again. Ratios for drop rates and crafting will be relaxed in that new permanent league. I can promise you lots of money making a move like this.

Twitch seems to be my main source of new gaming information these days, as soon as an NDA is lifted I can watch people playing the game without beta access myself.
There are lots of dedicated twitchers out there that I follow as many times they share the same game styles I enjoy. Marketing there (via ads) may be a strong option. |

" No dude, its still way too expensive. Facebook made sure of that. Apart from that according to my experience not too effective either. But I like the way you think, you should be in marketing ;) " Same thing here. It will be extremely hard to target (especially if you only use Google Adwords), and pretty pricy. Plus I think most of the target audience already have some sort of adblocker installed or simply just skip the ad by reflex. I like many of previous ideas though. To be honest I really liked GGGs marketing activities so far. It could be slightly more aggressive though but I would mostly stay with online marketing (not only because I am an online marketer myself). |

" Really? Guess my information is outdated or not precise. I was holding this for true coin because I always see ridiculous ads of local business around my corner in Germany on Facebook. Could have never imagined that they got the bucks to have a heavy marketing budget. :D Then maybe Google? Or are they also that expensive if specified to a small target audience? But I guess what was said about AdBlock is true. Better rely on own community interaction and media driven advertisement. Last edited by Nightmare90#4217 on Feb 19, 2014, 9:44:27 AM
