I think there are three vastly untapped gaming markets (more, I'm sure; but these are the three I've decided to focus on). Europe, Colleges, and the Military. What I mean by untapped is that they "notoriously" have a higher incidence of gamers than the general population and that publishers do little to focus on direct marketing strategies geared toward them.
To that end, I am looking for three people to fill the role of Director of European Marketing, Director of Collegiate Marketing, and Director of Military Marketing.
This is, I'm afraid, not quite as glamorous as it sounds. I am not looking for full-time, salaried employees. Rather, I am looking for members of the target group with a head for marketing strategy, who will give recommendations and identify specific outlets for effective marketing.
I haven't hammered out the details in my own mind yet, but it would be something along the lines of a small, monthly stipend (maybe like $20 to start) and free merchandise (both gaming material and clothing, mugs, etc.). The effectiveness of the marketing would result in increased compensation as warranted.
I would anticipate some "direct-level" marketing, i.e., distributing flyers to appropriate outlets, posting to various forums, etc. However, I am equally interested in ideas for "national-level" marketing, i.e., appropriate websites or magazines to advertise in, product development, etc.
If you are interested, please e-mail me which position you are qualified for, your information (background, connection to the marketing sector, contact information), and some specific ideas or strategies you think could be implemented, so I can get an idea of your way of thinking.
