If you’ve heard about an upcoming PC game, it’s probably thanks to the work of an enterprising PR person somewhere in the world. At the inaugural W.A.S.D. event in April, a trio of public relations wizards sat down to talk about the business of games marketing, and how it’s changed over the course of two years of COVID-related lockdowns and working from home.
We’ve been busily uploading all of the W.A.S.D. discussions and talks to our YouTube channel, so if you weren’t able to attend in person, don’t worry – they’ve all been saved for your viewing enjoyment. This one features Super Rare Games head of PR Ryan Brown, Sega Europe’s Jasmine Koolhoven, and Jon Wilcox from Team17 talking with our very own strategy editor Joe Robinson.
