BACKGROUND

The Nigeria Map Jigsaw is a game that lets players learn about Nigeria (Culture, History, politics), the game is educational and fun, suitable for all ages. There are two aspects to the game, which makes it fun for players. There are map jigsaw and general knowledge.

CHALLENGES

Creating a fun and exciting game is one thing, getting people to play your game is another. Nigeria Map Jigsaw has all the qualities of an engaging and exciting game, but sometimes that is not enough.

Being a newly developed game, Nigeria Map Jigsaw struggled to build a presence in a very competitive market. Getting game enthusiasts to patronize its hard work was proving difficult. This was due to so many factors.

The game had no online presence, and a big part of building one is by having a good SEO ranking for keywords related to the game. Nigeria Map Jigsaw had a poor SEO ranking, amongst other faults.

Nigeria Map Jigsaw knew the marketing of the game to be successful would require layers of strategies. When they came across AdHang, they jumped at the opportunity to reach a large audience.

In all the digital marketing strategies needed to make the game successful, the developer and AdHang agreed to work only on awareness, educating the target audience, searching engine ranking, and establishing trust.
