Focusing on the first three seconds
As a CMO, you know the hook is everything. Your gameplay clips must grab attention in the first three seconds. If they don't, the user keeps scrolling. Focus on showing the most exciting part of the game immediately. Don't start with a slow intro. Start with a win, a battle, or a high-energy moment. The content should be designed for a mobile-first audience that is looking for instant entertainment.
Creating for volume and variety
You need a library of content that covers different game events, characters, and modes. This variety is key to keeping the network fresh and engaging. If you only post one type of clip, your audience will quickly lose interest. Keep the content library diverse and frequently updated. This is how you stay ahead of the algorithm and keep your reach high across all your brand-owned pages.
Integrating with your marketing calendar
The managed network should be a key part of your launch and live ops calendar. When you have a new update, you need content ready for the network on day one. Create a process where your creative team is focused on delivering these assets on time. This is how you synchronize your marketing efforts and drive the biggest possible impact from your game's updates and events.
Using data to drive creative decisions
You have a wealth of data available to you. Use the network performance metrics to guide your creative team. If a specific type of clip is driving more installs, produce more of it. If another type is failing, cut it. This data-driven approach is what separates the best marketers from the rest. You are not just guessing what works; you are knowing what works.
CMOs should use a data-driven creative process to provide the high-impact clips that maximize the performance of their managed content network.
