Law Mower is a game about mowing lawns made by developer Scoria Studios. We had one month to put together a targeted press list, complete competitive and target market research, manage media and content creator outreach/Steam key distribution and put together a unique guerilla marketing campaign to amplify game awareness close to release day.

Competitive Research & Media List” htag=”2″][/bt_header][bt_text]First, we searched for tags that are relevant to Law Mower on SteamSpy. We pulled results into a spreadsheet and documented earned coverage from games press and content creators. This resulted in a nice master media spreadsheet that we used for all media outreach.

We ended up with a social media campaign called #LawMowerDay. The campaign was simple: on a specified date, anyone who uploaded a photo of themselves mowing their lawn and shared it with Scoria Studios on Twitter with the hashtag #LawMowerDay would receive a free copy of the game. Basically, we gave everyone who mowed their lawn a game where your goal is to mow every lawn in the world.

In the process, we earned coverage from sites including (but not limited to): Mashable, PC Gamer, Hardcore Gamer, and RPS.
