About Caitlin McCann
I believe in centering fan voices to impact product decisions. At Riot Games, I leverage my fandom studies and qualitative research expertise to champion players\' voices, ensuring that their perspectives shape our gaming experiences. Since joining Riot Games in April 2020, I\'ve had the privilege to help launch Wild Rift, drive IP insights on the Entertainment team, and now support Team Fight Tactics, one of the largest strategy games in the world. Across each of these teams, my role as Researcher II has centered around uniting academic research with data-informed strategies to advocate for our global community of players. Employing skills in survey design and qualitative research, I\'ve contributed to and lead projects that demystify and amplify fan engagement in games and beyond. Before working at Riot, I was working towards my doctorate in Cinema and Media Studies at UCLA. My academic emphasis was on fandom and adaptations, subjects I still passionately apply wherever I can in an increasingly multi-media landscape.
