Gina July 7, 2023 No Comments

This week, Nigel and Tazziii welcome the Marketing Manager at Freedom Games and Founder of Dames 4 Games, Destinee Cleveland. We get into the rise and fall of E3 and where we go from here when marketing video games to a passionate audience.

From the murky future for E3 to the recent supremacy of Geoff Keighley and the Summer Games Fest, we’re discussing how video game marketing has changed and what we want to see for it to improve in the future. We also get the perspective from someone working in the games industry on how you can make a career marketing video games.
