YetiZen - The Broken Monetization Model AND Kabam - The Pivot to Mobile!
Presents
The Broken Monetization Model
AND
Kabam - The Pivot to Mobile!
Let’s face it, the current monetization model is broken and it is affecting both brands and game developers! Brands are seeing a decrease of brand engagement with the audiences. They just aren’t seeing any results from banner ads! Things aren’t much better for game developers-only a small percent of players pay for IAP so we try monetizing through ads. But lets face it, annoying and interruptive advertising hurts game play!
With limited options out there, are we doomed to be stuck with this broken monetization model?
Fear not! On April 23rd YetiZen Accelerator company Grantoo is coming to the rescue!
Join us on April 23rd @ 6PM as Grantoo takes us through the broken monetization model in games and ways to fix it while doing good!
BUT IT DOESN’T END THERE FOLKS!!!
No, Lawrence Koh from Kabam joins us to share Kabam’s new mobile strategy and how the incredible pivot they made as a traditional social developer to the new brave world of mobile games!
