2. The purpose of this presentation is to make sure that you;
1. Research and collect examples of recent gaming marketing campaigns that you believe
to be successfully in producing consistency across different media forms.
2. Should you be asked in the exam, explain the need to have consistency across different
media forms when planning a successful gaming campaign. (A* approach = student are
more likely to explain as opposed to just listing advantages of consistency across
different media forms).
3. Have knowledge of media platforms (forms) that are commonly as part of media
campaigns to promote new games. Secondly, that you have a good understanding of the
strengths of each media form in helping to reach audiences and facilitate (make more
likely) the buying of a new video game. (A* approach = student are likely to also have
good knowledge and understanding of each media platform’s limitations (weakness)
and how to try and address these).

3. Your task

one, look at it on the blog if you want to remind
