In terms of format, we are not limited to cryptocrosswords. We're also looking for a nice balance between the kinds of games that we're offering. I feel like at least for our solvers, when they're doing a puzzle, I'm more interested as a creator and, for instance, putting in a fun fact that they may not know otherwise. It's something too that I brought with me from working on a game show with contestants.
Welcome back to another episode of the Send & Grow podcast. This week, SparkLoop cofounder Louis Nicholls sits down with Mary Tobler, the brains behind the fun puzzles and games you find in the Morning Brew newsletter.
Publishers and newsletter operators alike are waking up to the value of having a “games” strategy and — like with most things newsletters — Morning Brew have been leading the way.
In today's episode, we discuss:
- how games and puzzles fit into the newsletter format
- why publishers are starting to prioritise games and puzzles in their newsletters
- (why) should you add games to your newsletter? And how to get started
