To get access to and generate a meaningful connection with a niche audience, your brand needs to understand its codes.

The sentence above couldn’t be more true than with gamers.

Gamers are often seen as a young, vibrant and niche audience many brands want to connect with, want to reach and engage.

But not anyone can really say they’ve been able to pierce the shield of a culture that works on memes, inside jokes and simply disregard a lot of what brands try to do when reaching out to them.

This is something we often say to clients: the audience you want to reach, you have to take the time to understand it, learn as much as you can about them, discover their values, their needs, their expectations.

No easy task.
