How to set your marketing budget for year one
Field-tested at Nintendo CEE, fBET and beyond, not written from a desk.
From zero to a number that makes sense. How much to set aside, how to split it between brand and performance, and how you'll know it works: even without historical data. The same process I used to run the budget across four Nintendo markets at once.
How much it can save you
Businesses without a clear methodology commonly waste up to 26% of their marketing budget (source: Deep Marketing, 2026) - often because in their first year they copy ratios that fit an established company, not their own stage. This guide gives you the exact ratio for your stage, so you're not one of them.
