Why should I do this workshop?

If you are an indie game developer that doesn’t have the budget to hire a PR agency, there are still plenty of tools and tips you can learn to help you make the most out of your own PR efforts. If you are currently working on a game and want to make sure it gets noticed through all the noise in the crowded indie game space, this workshop will equip you with the tools and knowledge to do this, with a strong focus on practical, hands-on sessions to help make your PR efforts and plans as successful as possible.

At the end of this workshop you will have:

  • a fully formed idea of your PR positioning and messaging
  • a defined, focused PR plan to help maximise your PR opportunities
  • good knowledge of how to best showcase your game through visual assets
  • a strong idea of which media outlets and influencers you will target
