Social Media & Community Management

vMarketer helps indie developers, AA studios and game publishers plan and manage social media strategies designed specifically for games. We create platform-specific content, grow engaged communities and connect social activity with wishlists, playtests, launches, updates and commercial goals.

Social Media Marketing Built for Games

Game marketing is not the same as marketing an ordinary product.

Players want to see the game in action. They want to understand the fantasy, discover the mechanics, follow development, meet the team and become part of the community.

Successful video game social media marketing gives players a reason to stop, watch, respond and participate. It should make the game easy to understand, exciting to follow and worth sharing with others.

We build social media strategies around your game, audience, genre, development roadmap and launch objectives.

We create a practical social media strategy based on your audience, platforms, development stage and marketing goals.

Content Planning

We develop a structured content plan that turns your game, development process and marketing activity into a consistent stream of relevant content. Rather than posting simply to remain active, each piece of content should support a clear purpose, such as building awareness, generating wishlists, recruiting playtesters or encouraging community participation.

Short-Form Video Strategy

Short-form video is one of the most effective ways to communicate a game quickly. We identify the gameplay moments, visual hooks and player fantasies that can capture attention within the opening seconds. We then shape these into repeatable formats for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and other social channels.

Social Media Content Creation

We create and coordinate content for platforms including TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, Facebook, Reddit and LinkedIn.

Gameplay clips
Short-form videos
Feature reveals
Character introductions
Developer updates
Behind-the-scenes content
Memes and reactive content
Community highlights

Community Management

Social media should create conversations rather than simply broadcast announcements. We help manage comments, questions, feedback and player conversations while maintaining a consistent brand voice. This allows your studio to build relationships with players and better understand how the market is responding to the game.

Discord Strategy and Management

Discord can become the centre of your game's community, but only when players have clear reasons to join, participate and return.

Channel structures
Roles and permissions
Bots and automation
Community guidelines
Moderation processes
Events and competitions
Feedback channels

Social Media Campaigns

We plan and manage focused campaigns around important moments in the game's development and release cycle.

Wishlist campaigns
Demo releases

DLC and expansions

Paid Social Media Support

Organic content and paid advertising should work together. We help identify strong-performing organic content, develop paid social concepts and coordinate messaging between social media and advertising campaigns. This allows successful creative ideas to be expanded rather than treating paid and organic activity as separate marketing functions.

Reporting and Optimisation

We track the performance of content, campaigns and community activity to understand what is resonating with players.

Reach and impressions
Video views and completion rates
Engagement
Follower growth
Community growth
Click-through rates
Steam traffic
Wishlist activity
Playtest registrations
Audience sentiment
Content performance by platform

We use these insights to improve future content, refine messaging and identify the aspects of the game attracting the strongest response.
