Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tripledot’s Akin Babayigit: Hard Work Over Know-How, Rising Hubs & the AI Era
Q: What was the toughest period you faced while co-founding Tripledot and building it up?
The toughest times were the early days with limited resources and the personal risk of not taking salaries, but he found motivation in the support of his wife and in the possibility of a future where he could still pivot if needed; the core takeaway is that founders must be willing to endure uncertainty and commit to a bold path despite statistical odds.
Matt Veysberg: Plarium's Director of Global Creative Marketing on Marketing, Creative, and AI
Q: What role will AI play in the near future of game marketing, and how should leaders respond?
AI will amplify capabilities and require leaders to embrace it, manage adoption, and use AI as a time-saver for planning and brief creation while maintaining human judgment, taste, and product alignment to sustain long-term value.
Matt Veysberg: Plarium's Director of Global Creative Marketing on Marketing, Creative, and AI
Q: How do IPs and external collaborations fit into a mobile game's strategy?
IPs should feel like a natural fit, integrated into the game's narrative rather than slapped on; the right IPs expand audiences by aligning with the game's lore and progression, and speed-date different IPs to find the best resonance.
Matt Veysberg: Plarium's Director of Global Creative Marketing on Marketing, Creative, and AI
Q: What are pillars in creative testing, and how do you approach soft launches?
Pillars are four personas or motivations used to create distinct creative sets; you test these pillars to determine which resonates with the target audience, then double down on successful pillars across bursts to reduce risk before a global launch.
Matt Veysberg: Plarium's Director of Global Creative Marketing on Marketing, Creative, and AI
Q: How should a creative marketing team be structured for high-scale operations, and what skills matter most?
Teams should be organized by disciplines (creative strategy, production, project management) with a strong product understanding, data literacy, and the ability to translate data into briefs for artists; leadership should be able to work cross-functionally across UA and product.
