Services.
STAGE HOST. STRATEGIST. CONSULTANT.
Strategy
With a decade of experience in Category Marketing and Sponsorship, I specialise in creating bespoke strategies for brands seeking to enter the gaming market. Not only do these strategies seek to deliver your marketing and sales objectives, but they also add value to the gaming eco-system.
Content
We all know content is king, but relevance is the crown. I assist brands with creating authentic and engaging content, which I know gamers will love - because I am a gamer.
MC/Host
Having hosted several dozen esports events as well as a career as a stand-up comedian and MC – If you are looking for someone to host your event – look no further.
Influencer
Not only do I speak to a large following of gamers, but I’m also well connected to key influencers, professional teams, players, streamers and key subject matter experts and content creators in the gaming industry.
Speaker
I’m as comfortable with a game controller in hand as I am with a microphone. I’ve hosted key notes at the inaugural African Esports Summit, Comic Con’s Business of Gaming forum and several guest lectures at Vega Marketing School.
