As an agency that works exclusively in the gaming industry, we always get asked about how companies should connect with an audience who loves games. With an average of 25 video games being released a day, new services being added every year, and 2.2 million streamers on Twitch, the world of gaming is always expanding, making marketing in those spaces often overwhelming. We scoured the internet to find a good primer on what marketing in gaming looks like, but we couldn’t find one. So we decided to make it ourselves. Senior Strategist Mindy Lee led the creation of our first report in the Twofivesix Gaming Marketing 101 series, where we give you a lay of the land of what’s possible at the intersection of games and marketing. In this episode, she gives you a brief rundown of the Twofivesix Levels of Play framework along with some industry examples to solidify your understanding of each level. Lee highlights the first level of our model: Play, which represents everything that happens in-game. As she explains, everything from banner ads to Fortnite collaborations falls under this type of marketing activation and advertising. Like what you see? Subscribe to our newsletter and podcast. Here are highlights from the conversation, lightly edited for clarity. THE REASONS WHY BRANDS SHOULD CONSIDER ADVERTISING IN VIDEO GAMES “The first is just the proportion of people who play games is increasing year over year. So it's likely that if you're a brand, that's probably where your audience is going to be found. The second reason is that video games are not like other advertising spaces—TV or the internet—and they require a lot of focus. The audience is not just possibly blowing past your ad. They're actually actively engaged...Some reports estimate that players are in-game for an average of seven to 12 hours a week. As a point of comparison, Americans age 18 to 34 they only watch an average of two and a half hours of TV [a day].” FOR IP COLLABORATIONS, IT’S ALL ABOUT EXECUTION “How brands execute and how well comes down to the match between the brand and the game itself. A lot of IP collaborations over the past year have been with Fortnite—they had Nike and the Marshmello concert. Those brands came off pretty well because they played an active part in the game.” Subscribe to our newsletter and podcast for more compelling insights.

Mindy Lee’s mysterious death is a cold case in more than one sense. The mom’s frozen corpse was found five days after friends told police she jump out of their truck, leaving her young daughter behind, and ran into woods wearing no shoes and light clothing in 25-degree weather in the shadow of Colorado’s Pike’s Peak in 2010. Private detective Bobby Brown began working the case amid Lee’s mother’s concern about the police probe. Nancy Grace talks to Brown in this episode.
Jay and Mike recommend two-fisted sci-fi with "Atomic Robo" and "Bounty," and then in honor of the new Marvel/Netflix series, we go back to a classic "Luke Cage, Hero for Hire" comic, and ask the question: Where's my money, honey? We wrap up the episode with a game of "Super-Mundane," and ask who would be the best and worst to host a surprise party - and who would be the best/worst to have a surprise party for? Pull List: Jay: “Atomic Robo and the Temple of Od" (Tesladyne), written by Brian Clevinger, art by Scott Wegener. Mike: “Bounty" (Dark Horse), written by Kurtis J Wiebe, art by Mindy Lee. Main Segment: "Luke Cage, Hero for Hire" #8-9 (Marvel), written by Steve Englehart, pencils by George Tuska. Game: "Super-Mundane - Best / Worst to Host a Surprise Party? Best / Worst to be the Recipient of a Surprise Party?"

This week on The Comics Alternative podcast, those funky PhDs, Andy and Derek, discuss three recent titles revolving around the mercenary side of crime fighting. They begin with Jules Feiffer's Cousin Joseph (Liveright Publishing), the second in a planned trilogy of noir-tinged graphic novels. It is the follow up to 2014's Kill My Mother, a text that Feiffer discussed with the Two Guys in a previous interview. The events in Cousin Joseph predate those of the earlier book, making it a sort of prequel. In fact, many of the major players in Kill My Mother make appearances in this new work. Most notable are the characters Elsie and Annie, whose husband/father Sam becomes the central figure in the current narrative. Derek and Andy note the fact that Cousin Joseph is a more tightly constructed, and even a more ambitious, work than its predecessor, especially in its engagements with the sociopolitical matters of its setting. Next, the guys look at the first issue of a new series by Kurtis Wiebe and Mindy Lee. Bounty (Dark Horse Comics) is a futuristic adventure focusing on the exploits of two anticorporate criminal sisters who eventually become bounty hunters. Almost from the beginning, the guys compare this title to Wiebe's Rat Queens, but both Andy and Derek feel that the first issue in this new series lacks the humor and cohesion of the earlier comic. Indeed, there were parts of the story that were unclear -- some of it due to writing, and some because of the its visual perspectives -- and the exposition at the very beginning unintentionally compounded this confusion. Nonetheless, the premise shows promise, and Mindy Lee's art went a long way in carrying the narrative forward. Finally, the Two Guys wrap up with another first issue...sort of. The Paybacks #1, written by Donny Cates and Eliot Rahal, with art by Geoff Shaw, is part of Heavy Metal's new initiative to produce monthly ongoing series, but this isn't the first time we've seen this title. Last year Dark Horse published the series' first narrative arc, four issues recently collected in a trade, and now this recent manifestation picks up where the earlier one left off. Derek and Andy set a context by discussing the Dark Horse series and then segue into the new issue. The transition between publishers is seamless, with Cates and Rahal sustaining the humor and action of their high concept. But what really gets the guys' attention is Shaw's art, with its detail of character expression and more realistic flourishes. Andy and Derek comment that if The Paybacks is the kind of story we can expect coming out from Heavy Metal Comics, then we might just have a publishing endeavor similar to AfterShock on the horizon.
