🤑 👏 🎲 It's been a busy few weeks at Vala as we launched multiple campaigns on both BackerKit and Kickstarter! Not to mention the announce of BARBARIC: The Board Game, and did you catch that little teaser about Vala Foundry 👀

🐉 Dragon Ball Z: The Board Game Saga - Everyone on the team is feeling the nostalgia on this one! Day one of the campaign saw almost $100k!

🐭 Mouseborn RPG - A first time project for this client, is also currently just shy of $100k in it's first week!

💼 Satchel Games - Our very own Anthony created and launched this project last week and has hit over 300% of the funding goal!

Vala Foundry, Vala Marketing's new Board Game imprint, is bringing a hit Vault Comics series to tabletop with BARBARIC: The Board Game. Coming to Gamefound this autumn!

Vala was in the right place at the right time with the right idea,” said Vault CEO, Damian Wassel. “They approached us months ago when a Netflix series was still just wishful thinking, with a compelling vision for a Barbaric miniatures game that Vault, Mike Moreci, and Nathan just couldn’t say ‘no’ to. We’ve always wanted to see Barbaric find its way to the table top, and I know fans are going to love Vala’s horde-battler approach.”

"Board games have become one of the most powerful ways to deepen fans' relationship with worlds they love, and Barbaric gives us everything we need to build something truly special and unique. Our partnership with Vault is exactly the kind of project Vala Foundry was built for," said Grant Mielke, CEO, Vala Marketing

Previous collaborations between Vault and Vala have achieved massive success. Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile raised $2,915,277 from 30,754 backers, becoming the most funded comic ever on BackerKit. The Primal Hunter: Deluxe Collector's Box Set funded in under a minute and surpassed $1.25 million, rocketing Zogarth to the most 2nd most funded LitRPG Author ever.

🤩 🍃 Today is a GREAT DAY! We are incredibly pleased to announce that Vala Marketing is becoming an official BackerKit Partner! 🫨🫨🫨

We do more than just help creators run ads. Vala can handle the entire campaign, including building pre-launch reservation funnels, warming up communities, running paid media in real time, and driving late backer acquisition through the pledge manager.

Every engagement is end-to-end, and the results speak for themselves. We can't wait to help more creators see their projects fully realized through this partnership!

📸 Brit and Rachel were recently on-site with Norco capturing behind-the-scenes content designed to give people a real look at the role Norco is hiring for before candidates ever apply. Rachel snagged this super cute photo during their content gather!

Every day is different here at Vala. One minute we're getting product photography for crowdfund pages, the next we're on site getting lifestyle shots of people in action for local promotion!

🤩 👏 We had another great Kickstarter launch yesterday with Demonheart: The Vile Codex for Daggerheart! This one has been a ride to navigate, as it's content warning and NSFW images had the team jumping through hoops to get approvals on Kickstarter. Despite that, we had a successful launch that funded the project in 5 minutes.

Working with Dream Realm Storytellers has been a breeze! We love them and their work so much! Check out this project if you get a chance!
