@lewischege
Data-driven communications specialist with a focus on the gaming industry.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate communications specialist with extensive experience in the gaming industry. Currently, I serve as a video games industry reporter at GamesIndustryAfrica, where I create original editorial content and engage with industry leaders to highlight trends and insights. My ability to grow social media presence has been demonstrated by increasing LinkedIn followers significantly since my tenure began.
In my previous role as a Communications Specialist at Bright Gambit, I collaborated with indie developers to craft compelling messaging and executed communication strategies that aligned with marketing objectives. My experience as an independent video game content creator has honed my skills in audience engagement and content analysis, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of gaming technology and trends.
With a background in research and marketing strategy, I have developed a keen understanding of data-driven decision-making and the importance of effective communication in promoting products. I am committed to delivering high-quality, engaging content that resonates with audiences and drives business success.
