Trailblazing games creator, manufacturer and retailer Steamforged Games prepares to enter the next phase of their business, following early success, through incorporating digital technology to increase operational efficiencies and engage new international markets. Steamforged Games held an extensive and highly competitive tendering process in order to secure the best partner for the undertaking and ultimately appointed Manchester digital agency, e3creative (Part of Dept).

A new e-commerce storefront will also be designed and developed, providing an immersive platform to engage with consumers, launch interactive retail campaigns and trade globally.

The strategic teams at e3creative (Part of Dept) will be redefining the Steamforged Games brand positioning, as they’re taking on a larger market share in both the wholesale and retail spaces. This involves activating the Steamforged Games international marketing strategy and engaging with new audiences and demographics.

Founder of e3creative, Jake Welsh said: “It is a fantastic opportunity for e3creative (Part of Dept) to join hands with Steamforged Games during this pivotal moment in their business.
