Check out their whole experience launch and getting fully funded!  We discuss:   [01:37]: Launching a board game experience through Tabletopia. [06:37]: Using playtesting and social media organic relationships as a pre-launch marketing strategy. [11:19]: Most of their backers came from the "notification follow" subscriber. This method was extremely effective although publishing it months in advance.  [18:17]: Getting reviews and promotion from small and medium-sized influencers and YouTubers can help your game reach out to a smaller but more tight together community. [23:14]: It's absolutely possible to DIY your campaign page, but the most important thing is to research thoroughly what other campaigns in the same niche have done.  [26:21]: Never leave a page and social channels without updates! Try to keep people hyped up by the upcoming launch the weeks prior to it. [28:47]: Using conventions offline and online throughout the middle days of the campaign and how it converted to actual backers. [35:03]: Organic reach out was the best marketing strategy: giving people the chance to actually play the game and get feedback on it.  [39:04]: How they're planning on moving forward with the brand and what they've learned from this first experience.
