Short-form videos tend to perform better when viewers immediately understand the point and can quickly get value from what they’re watching. If you have multiple ideas to share, try breaking them into a series of shorter clips instead of one longer, crowded video.

I will be joining the Arvocalists cast for a live D&D session during the ArvCon charity marathon! The stream is raising money for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and will be live from 12:30 PM–3 PM Eastern tomorrow, May 23rd. Come hang out and support a great cause!

Early feedback can be one of the most useful marketing tools during a crowdfunding campaign. Quotes from playtests, previews, or early supporters help show real reactions to your project and can make your campaign feel more tangible to potential backers. #crowdfunding #kickstarter #marketing

Season 3 of World of Shadows is finally dropping on April 12th! I’ve been GMing this Shadowrun Sixth World campaign for a bit now, and this season has been a fun one! Lots of unexpected turns, some very questionable decisions (of course), and a crew that keeps me on my toes.

Timing can make a big difference in social media performance! Test posting at different times to see when your audience is most active. Keep in mind that each platform may have its own peak hours, so track engagement on each one separately. #marketingstrategy #socialmedia #marketingtips

Build your FAQ before you launch. Write out answers to common questions like shipping costs, delivery timelines, and reward details. Then update it throughout the campaign as new questions come up. The easier you make it to find answers, the more confident backers will feel supporting your project.

Crowdfunding Day is tomorrow, so here’s a quick tip for anyone planning a campaign.

Which marketing metrics matter the most? The answer depends on your goal. If you're building awareness, pay attention to reach, impressions, and traffic. If you're focused on sales or pledges, look at conversion rate, cost per acquisition, and ROAS. Different goals require different metrics.

I have some big news to share. After three years with Catalyst Game Labs, I’m stepping away from my role to focus full-time on my own company, Rem Alternis Productions.

Finished an amazing week at GAMA Expo last week! The week was packed with great conversations and reconnecting with so many friends across the tabletop industry. Thank you to everyone who took the time to chat, share ideas, and catch up. Already looking forward to next year!

Got a campaign to launch or a brand to grow? At Rem Alternis Productions, we handle the strategy, content, ads, emails, graphics, analytics, and everything in between so you can focus on creating. Want to learn more? Schedule a free consultation by emailing [email protected]

I didn’t start my company just because I love marketing. I started it because I had a passion project of my own called Chicago Shadows and quickly realized something: creators like me have big ideas, but don’t always have the resources or support to bring them to life the right way.

I’m excited to be hosting a panel at GAMA this year! We’ll discuss what metrics you should track, how to interpret them, and what to adjust when they’re not meeting your goals. I’ll be joined by Monica Paprocki, Grant Mielke, Christopher Landauer, and Edward Doty. #GAMA2026 #tabletop #marketing
