Goal

Multi-Channel Advertising

Task

Our poker application faced stiff competition, and we had to deal with strict betting limits. We realized that the conventional approach to promotion might not yield desirable results, so we put our heads together to develop creative strategies.

Our marketing campaigns emphasized the social aspect of the game, highlighting how players could get to know each other or even learn how to play poker to participate in offline tournaments.

These approaches proved to be successful, especially among our worldwide target audience. However, after conducting some tests, we identified that the US, CA, and ID markets were particularly promising, so we put extra effort into targeting audiences in those regions.
