Frequently asked questions
What does Gaming & Esports marketing actually require in 2026?
Gaming & Esports marketing in 2026 requires three things working together: a category-aware channel mix (meta-ads, youtube-ads, social-media-marketing), unit-economics discipline (CAC 50–400 ₹ as the operating band), and a creative system tuned to regulatory geofencing. Generic "performance marketing" without category specifics consistently underperforms in this segment.

Engagements typically run ₹2L–₹15L/month depending on stage and channel scope. Average CPC sits in the 4–35 ₹ band; CAC lands in 50–400 ₹. The right starting tier depends on your revenue stage — most Gaming engagements start with a 2-channel program and expand once unit economics prove.
