So I was just laid off from Vicariously.
If you‘ve got an opening in PR/marketing and want to hire someone who does good work and has a family to support, I’m your guy.
Any reposts super appreciated.
Oh no, it was my choice! I’m going to work for a YouTuber lol
After a remarkable run, my time as Director of Client Services at UberStrategist has come to a bittersweet end. This role gave me chance to work alongside *incredibly* talented people, to help build something meaningful, and to grow in ways I genuinely didn't expect.

I'm also not stepping away from games. This industry has given me too much for me to ever really walk away. I'll be taking on a limited number of consulting projects at a time, working with studios and teams across marketing, leadership, and sales. (dm if you)

CJ and the team at @uberstrategist.com were instrumental to our success at Nightdive - every interview, podcast, review, and event we participated in was elevated as a result of their involvement. I will miss you guys, but I'll always still be here for you.
What a very lovely day!

* RSVP confirmations for the GIG party (thegig.social/gdc) will start going out later today.
They go out in batches, and are not entirely based on a 'first come first in', as we work to create a good mix.
That said, if you were one of the first 100 to RSVP, you'll definitely be approved.
My day was absolutely made by @alykkat.bsky.social today.

Direct ads are only one part. Ads alone often don’t sell most products so you need the other components of marketing too.
“We’re being marketed to everywhere we go all the time. It used to be, you had to see a product 7 times before you were primed to buy it.[..], it’s now upwards of 15. So, I think, we need, as an industry, need to realise that we need to do a little more planning.”
