Enhanced Brand Loyalty and Player Retention
A strong gaming community fosters a sense of belonging. When players feel connected to other players, streamers and developers, they invest their time, energy and creativity into fostering a community. 
Loyalty grows when players feel seen and understood by brands, making them more likely to advocate for your brand, even within a competitive market.
Top Tips: Support community spaces and elevate players, create or sponsor discord servers, and streamers or have your team engage with players and play the games you’re wanting to market in.

Gaming Creators and Organic Promotion
