Traditionally, this “top-down” method of selecting target terms has been the only way to assemble an audience; and often enough, it still works well today! But it shouldn’t be the only option.
In this case, we’re looking at a new community and a company which hasn’t done much user research. As such, the terms used for targeting would be related to gaming, meaning the campaign would be vying for the same ad space as its competitors – many of whom are much larger and have deeper pockets.
