Note - we're looking for someone with 1-2 years experience in gaming, so this isn't quite an entry level role and you'll need some experience in gaming but it doesn't need to be PR! Similarly we're not looking for someone with too much experience, under 3 years. We're hybrid based in London. 🥰

✨ I had such a lovely time at Develop in Brighton this year! ✨ It was incredibly exciting to see so many creatives forging their own pathways – building games, studios, and ideas from scratch. I’m hopeful and eagerly awaiting the magic and creative energy that comes as a result. ❤️

It's tricky - but once you overcome the hurdle, you see more and more people you recognise every year. Your peers become connections and those connections become your friends - and soon it all seems a little less scary and inaccessible.

But one thing I will say is - it can be overwhelming to come to these things and feel like you don't know anyone. My first Develop I knew maybe 4 people there and I awkwardly wandered around looking for people to latch onto. This was like a decade ago and I still sometimes feel a little lost.

I was on a panel as part of @sxsw.com! Had a lovely day discussing the evolution of video games multimedia with a panel of experienced professionals in the space. I talk about it more on LinkedIn but I’m eagerly excited to see how many more games IPs and narratives are explored! ❤️

Obsessed with #adolescence but even more so as it allowed me to have a conservation with my Mum about the Andrew Tate effect and toxic masculinity in young boys - an issue she had no idea about as she’d not ‘online’. It’s an honest look at our future whilst we give Tate-ies a platform.
