Overview • NaturalMotion’s Strategy • Solving Discovery • Monetization • Results & Summary
NaturalMotion’s Strategy • Experiment with the Paid to Free Model • Seek Uplift in Paid Charts with New User Base • Generate Buzz during GDC San Francisco • Monetize via 3rd Party Solutions • Cross Promote to Other NM Titles • Beat OMGPop… (This was my personal goal.)
Solving Discovery • External Promotion • Free App Networks • Press/Blogs • Social Networks & Forums • Internal Promotion • Interstitial Advertising • Social Networks
Internal Promotion • Interstitial Advertising • Chartboost Direct Deals • More Games Button • Leverage Social Networks • Facebook • Twitter • YouTube
Monetization • Cross Promotion to Our Own Titles • My Horse • Interstitial Advertising • Only showed to users at launch of application. • Targeted only FREE Users
Summary & Results • The Good • 4 Million Downloads = Success • When Switched Back to Paid = Success • Cross Promotion & Monetization = Success • $0 = HUGE SUCCESS • And The Bad • Didn’t Capitalize on Press • Better Monetization Strategy • Weren’t Prepared for Massive Amount of Users
