TW's new partnership with Conversant Media

[qan]

Greetings, Trench Warriors!

We're happy to announce a bold initiative for Trench Wars. Please join us in celebrating our new partnership with Conversant Media!

Before, we risked losing servers due to funding shortages. Reliance on old-fashioned donations means never knowing if we can pay the bills.

All of that is about to change. Introducing targeted banner advertisements in all of our most popular arenas!

These short messages allow you to play the game without interference, displaying only between deaths. Meanwhile, they pay for 100% of our server costs. And for the first time ever, each member of staff will receive a modest salary!

Thank you to all our donors over the years. And thank you to all players for your support in this incredible new era of self-sufficiency!

Our profiles are built across more than 7,000 dimensions, including each individual’s purchases (online & offline), GPS locations, video views, web browsing, advert interactions, life events and product interests.

As more real-time data is absorbed, the more we understand each consumer’s preferences, how they act and how they’ll respond in the future.

With access to these profiles - the most comprehensive ever built - you’ll know your customers better than ever before. You’ll anticipate their next purchases and grow your relationship with them every time you connect.

if it is real.

I've received several messages about an Ogron hockey school advert, made me chuckle.

being in lock down I lost all track of dates and was genuinely annoyed when I first had the ads pop up, face palm moment when I realised mid-moaning to a ZH

Ad Partnership Temporarily on Hold


Hello everyone.

All I can say is: Wow. We really did not expect that kind of response to our revolutionary new partnership with Conversant Media, leaders in the business. While the ads were ethical and also unobtrusive, many of our community members had very strong feelings about them.

We hear you, Trench Wars! Next time, before embarking on such a substantial change, we'll consult the community first to make sure we're all on the same page.

Thanks for your patience with us. Have a great second day of April.
