You want to give them a pre-packaged story and from a quick look around your site, you appear to have one (ex-MSFT guy who moved to Amsterdam, built an awesome game and it's now featured in the app store - that's a story).
You might consider reaching out to the Microsoft PR department. They want as much good publicity for the app store as they can get - so they might be willing to put some PR muscle behind you and your game.
My background is in marketing (and I lived in Amsterdam for a year haha) feel free to shoot me an email if you run out of ideas. Good luck!
- aschearer 14y agoThanks for the advice, Wilfra. I'm still reading through the link but I'm sure it will prove helpful. Figuring out how to pitch the correct story is a good point. I think one problem I suffer from is sharing my story and recognizing it might be of interest to others. I mean I live my life everyday, hardly newsworthy! Will definitely try to reach out to Microsoft too, great idea.
