Overview

Overview

When Nightmarket Games engaged Untitled, the Slugterra: Slug It Out 2 community had been largely dormant for approximately six months. Marketing activity had slowed, engagement had dropped, and growth had stalled despite the strength of the Slugterra IP.


The challenge was not just restarting marketing, but rebuilding momentum without alienating an existing fanbase.

Our strategy

Our strategy

The strategy centered on revitalizing the community first, then scaling growth through a tighter value loop across organic, ASO, and paid acquisition channels.

Key strategic decisions included:

  • Leading with IP-driven content to re-ignite nostalgia and excitement

  • Gradually shifting toward more game-centric content as engagement recovered

  • Strengthening App Store Optimization to improve organic discovery

  • Scaling creative and user acquisition only after signals proved player resonance


Rather than forcing growth, the approach focused on amplifying what players already loved.

Execution

Execution

Untitled supported Slugterra across the full mobile marketing stack:

  • App Store Optimization across iOS and Google Play

  • Community and social media management

  • Creative production for organic and paid channels

  • User acquisition testing, optimization, and scaling

  • Content strategy aligned with both IP storytelling and gameplay depth


Community feedback and performance data directly informed creative iteration and spend decisions.
