Some client highlights include Blizzard\'s Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, Theorycraft\'s Supervive, Fun Dog Studios\' The Forever Winter, Global and North American PR for Asmodee (publisher of Catan and Pandemic, and a ton more), Gearbox Publishing\'s Tribes of Midgard and Risk of Rain 2. On Star Citizen, I developed and implemented overarching brand strategy, company positioning and messaging, shaping and guiding the creation of more than 15 weekly deliverables across video, social media, web and written content. I did this while overseeing both our social media, influencer and PR work, resulting in 40% growth in Star Citizen followers and 60% increase in engagement.Outside of games, I launched a literal flying car (the EHang 184, star of CES 2016), SportStream (acquired by Facebook), Topsy (acquired by Apple), Chubbies Shorts Man Model Campaign (Shorty award winner).
