Case Studies

When a partner asked us to review their campaign before launch we discovered that their advertising ROI was low and their audience was not growing. We identified the issue was that their digital advertising had been set-up incorrectly by a third party- and they were targeting end consumers in two very small countries that weren’t interested in boardgames or crowdfunding! 

By correcting this mistake, we prevented them from launching prematurely and
improved their advertising ROI by more than 700%

Our team helped a publisher run their first Gamefound Campaign.

We made dozens of minor improvements and aesthetic upgrades to their campaign page, rebuilt their pledge levels and guided them to achieve maximum impact with a relatively small marketing budget of £6000.

As a result, the campaign achieved over £200,000 in funding- and generated substantial interest from distributors and localisation partners.
