Interview: Reverb: Solving The Publisher Problem

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:00:00 +0000

The role of the publisher in the modern game business grows more precarious by the day. Companies that used to dominate the industry have begun to falter, a select few leap from success to success, yet the development community is diligently exploring ways of cutting publishers out of the picture altogether: Larian Studios has built its own channels into physical retail and brought marketing in-house; Double Fine is raising millions from its fans to fund an idea that few publishers would believe had market potential. It's hard to know what all of this talk and possibly isolated incidents will mean in 10 years time, but developers' frustration at the aversion to risk and the influence of marketing and finance teams is impossible to ignore. According to Doug Kennedy, CEO of Reverb Publishing, the current model is "broken", and it's up to publishers to find ways to stay relevant to developers. In this interview, Kennedy discusses Reverb's musical legacy, the unique challenges of digital publishing, putting developers in the spotlight, and bringing the million-selling Dungeon Defenders to market.

A clever use of youtube for selling mobile phones from O2

jamescoops — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 13:38:29 +0000

One of the jobs I did back in the day was selling mobile phones for Orange. The best thing about the job was some of the people that you worked with that knew absolutely everything about all the latest handsets. In those days they had just launches colour phones (the Ericsson T68!) and bluetooth and GPRS was at the bleeding edge of technology so things were a lot less complicated than today.

Whilst us mobile phone geeks as well as young kids know all about the latest handsets and features the average punter finds it difficult to get their heads around what 'Android' means or why you cant get Angry Birds on a Blackberry. When you think of all the different operating systems now, all with different ways to do even basic things like change the screensaver or ringtone, add a contact or connect to Wi-Fi it's pretty clear that many people are going to have real trouble navigating all this technology. In my day the hardest thing you would have to do is show an old lady how to use text messaging - imaging having to explain how to download an app...

So the UK mobile operator O2's latest customer initiative looks interesting - they have a network of O2 Guru's in stores that are trained up to answer questions about how to use your phone. They've now extended this onto an O2 Guru channel on youtube. Quite a smart bit of 'education based marketing' which is what the sales masters are recommending these days as the best strategy for selling to people.

O2 YouTube Channel

O2 then have links back to their online store - effectively extending the model that they are operating in stores onto the internet. Not a bad bid of youtube marketing - a lot of attention is on facebook marketing these days but this shows there's a fair bit of room for innovating using other social platforms. It's a good idea to use video as well - a lot of people dont like reading a lot of text and it's much easier to explain stuff.

Back to the mobile gurus that I used to work with in the Orange shop back in the day. If you look at the model used here there is no reason why someone couldnt create their own mobile phone review and tech channel on youtube and build a massive audience. Howard Chui did it with http://www.howardforums.com years ago and new technology creates a new opportunity to become an authority. With affiliate marketing sales of mobile contracts, handsets and so on you could make a good living out of this. Very similar to what Gary Vaynerchuck advocates in his book Crush It! - if you have a passion about something the tools are now there to make a living from it.

Anyway good to see an operator trying out different marketing channels and trying to solve a problem for consumers rather than blowing money on TV ads.

Las Vegas is Dead – Can the City Recover?

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:40:00 +0000

For a couple of weeks we’ve been revisiting the blogger VegasRex’s classic posts from Las Vegas – the town he once loved and later hated to the extent that he had to leave.

To sum this up, we give you a couple of post about why Las Vegas slowly, but steadily, is dying.

How Sin City lost its “cool”.

But can Las Vegas once again regain its attraction?

Let’s end this series with Rex’s tips on what the city has to do to recover.

Thanks again Rex for all the cynical, yet valuable insights.

Is Las Vegas Still Cool?

“It's been a long time since I met someone my own age who reacted to Las Vegas residency in a positive way. There is no more envy, and there are no more excited questions about the town. From my own point of view, it really feels like the mystique of Las Vegas is a thing of the past.”

Straight from the Hip

“I do not think that these are traits that anyone would associate with Vegas. Las Vegas is a place filled with manufactured excitement and tireless self-promotion. It's a place where people preen, get drunk, and excitedly run around the perimeter of swimming pools screaming: Woooooo!"

Prelude to Recovery

“For the past 5 years, I have been yelling, nay, SCREAMING to anyone who will listen, exactly what needs to be done to restore Las Vegas to the most sought-after tourist destination in the USA. The problem is, nobody has listened to me.”
