Working in video games is always great, but doing the PR for YoYo Games, an industry leader in 2D video game engines, is truly next level. Once they tasked us to handle media relations for the official launch of GameMaker Studio 2, the stellar follow-up to an incredible game creation tool, we were thrilled to […]

It’s no secret – GDC is becoming less and less of a media show and turning back to it’s old focus as a true meeting of the minds in the video games industry. But that doesn’t mean there is a loss of PR opportunity at the conference if the story and the product are right. […]

A little under a year ago, we were given the awesome opportunity to help bring the Sniper Elite franchise to new heights by leading the PR efforts in North America for Sniper Elite 4, in conjunction with developer Rebellion and the game’s US distributor, U&I Entertainment.

When we heard that Sniper Elite 4 developer Rebellion was hosting an event in the UK for European media, we jumped at the chance to emulate the session […]

This year I got the opportunity to take in the show by staffing Pico Interactive, Inc’s booth and showcasing the company’s amazing new VR headset – the Pico Neo CV. I could *not* have been more ecstatic. We met with a ton […]
