First 90 days of a content network for a mobile game CEO

Short answer

The first 90 days are the experimental phase to calibrate the content network to your game's audience. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your clips many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, helping you build a consistent and scalable organic growth engine.

Phase 1: Building the foundation

The first 30 days are about system setup. You are establishing the account infrastructure and testing the content flow. This is not the time to look for massive ROI. You are building the machine that will drive your growth. Your focus as CEO is to ensure your team is aligned and ready to provide the content needed to make this system work. It is an investment in your growth capability.

Phase 2: Data-driven learning

During the second month, you begin to collect data. This is where you see what content resonates with your target players. The provider will help you understand the performance metrics, and your team will use this to refine their creative output. You are essentially calibrating the network to your game. It's a critical learning phase that will define the effectiveness of your growth engine in the months to come.

Phase 3: Scaling and performance

By the third month, the machine is starting to run efficiently. You have a better understanding of the costs and the returns, and you are ready to scale. This is where you really start to see the impact on your user acquisition. You have a system that is generating consistent traffic, and you have the data to prove its value. This is the payoff for your initial investment of time and resources.

Setting the stage for long-term growth

At the end of 90 days, you have a proven growth channel. You are no longer in the dark. You have a clear understanding of the risks, the rewards, and the operational requirements. You are better prepared to make informed decisions about your studio's future growth. You have effectively added a new, stable pillar to your marketing stack, and you have the data to support your growth strategy.

CEOs should use the first 90 days to calibrate their network, gather data, and establish a repeatable system for organic growth.
