Hi everyone. Please welcome our new marketing manager, Sun Tzu. He will be handling promotional matters, business development, social media, PR - basically everything me and Amok suck at. Please be nice to him.

Feel free to ask him questions in this thread.

Google Shadow Aces P0sts: 2705 Fr0m: USA	+16 27.10.2015 - 11:40 Google Congratulations Sun Tzu. Will you be paid? Will you be handling moderators, supporters ect? Please tell use your story how you got this job? I am glad this is you who got this job, seeing the experience you have had. Sun Tzu: Thanks Google, I will be working towards incentives, and I think the moderator team is doing fine without me. I will be looking to work with the supporters for any contributions. There isn't much of a story to be honest, I think being a close location is is beneficial and we discussed in what ways I may be able to help the develop game from a promotional perspective. edit - was meant to quote, admin hax op ---- Helpful Guides L04d1ng...

What do you plan to do differently from elme/abfahren? 2) How will you use social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube)? 3) Are you concerned that perhaps AW is intrinsically niche/by its nature cannot achieve broad appeal?

What do you plan to do differently from elme/abfahren? I spoke to Ivan about previous experiences with abfahren, I havn't even heard of elme, about what went wrong, I believe as long as focus and direction can be maintained we can grow strong as a team. 2) How will you use social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube)? ST: We are considering a multi-platform social media tool and looking for contribution from the community to help sustain activity on the networks. A few players have already expressed an interest, we just need to be organised so we are using these tools as effectively as possible. 3) Are you concerned that perhaps AW is intrinsically niche/by its nature cannot achieve broad appeal? ST: Yes, unless fundamental ascpects of the game change then it will remain and I am sure there would be a virtual riot if such changes were imposed. But we are looking at new markets and mobile and the Eastern markets are areas for potential growth. Good luck. Thanks Acq ---- intelligence + imagination = extraordinary result L04d1ng... L04d1ng...

What kind marketing experience do you have? How do you plan to get more exposure to AW? Will you need the player-base's help? Can you hack me to rank 15? Are your targets global markets or just US/Europe? How much time are you planning to invest into AW? Good luck! @Mecoy: I have beaten an admin on record in a duel c: What kind marketing experience do you have? I have about 12 Years experience in sales and marketing environment and have relative experience towards the games marketing objectives. There is of course a learning curve for me personally, such as dealing with SEO on such a large scale, my previous experience directly relating to this is on a smaller scale and from start-up. How do you plan to get more exposure to AW? Getting the basics right first of all and making sure we are fully utilising the tools we have I believe are the primary objectives. Other traditional methods are being explored and hopefully we can employ 'guriela marketing' style techniques to raise the brand profile. Campaigns like the Developers AMA on reddit was a real big pull for new traffic, just a shame some lowlife ddos the site at the same time. Can you hack me to rank 15? Sure. Will you need the player-base's help? Of course, there are many players who are better than me in certain areas and the communities interaction with social media will be a determining factor in keeping players engaged with the game. Are your targets global markets or just US/Europe? Initially we will refresh and update the meta tags and content relating to SEO and focus on localised markets, where the game has a stronger presence. Going forward we aim to explore China and other Eastern markets however that does also bring operational challenges. How much time are you planning to invest into AW? A couple of hours a day on most days. This will be a side project around my main day job. ---- intelligence + imagination = extraordinary result L04d1ng... L04d1ng...

How you intend to to introduce atwar to East Asian population? Through configuring the meta tags and optimising the atwar site with Baidu, the Chinese search engine. This may involve splitting the site up as, should we market to a Chinese audience we can hardly expect Chinese people to communicate in English, and the lobby would be a mess. Wr1tt3n by Laozi, 01.11.2015 at 23:14 Do you plan on promoting atwar mainly with great assistance from our community? Social Media will be a factor in our promotional efforts, mainly to keep players engaged, without the support of the community this would be impossible.
