After 6 yrs, I’m leaving StreamElements. Since I love the staff, products, doing their PR, spearheading the creator diversity program, managing TwitchCon, and crafting stream reports, I will still work with SE on occasion in an advisory role. Time to plan my next ft move!

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas!

Today is my 6-year anniversary at StreamElements. Love the cool people and products!

The games industry is hitting hard times in terms of the media and pub/dev landscape, but there's still no other industry I'd rather be in.

Wait, maybe the cheese industry. Does it come with free samples?

It's so refreshing to be able to share the launch of a new videogame publication instead of the decline of one!!

Wishing @dringo.bsky.social and @geoffkeighley.bsky.social the best of luck with this new initiative!!

The enactment of the Marriage Equality Act makes Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia and the third place in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, after Taiwan and Nepal.

to kick off the new year, what upcoming game(s) are you most excited about?

for me, it's Judas, Ghost of Yotei, Borderlands 4, and any new or remastered Fall Out games

Since plenty of people (like me!) worked at Twitch during formative times, I created a Starter Pack of other former staff to help you find those who helped make it a thing. 💜

I'm happy to add any other former staff who reach out!

PR take on award shows

The Game Awards has fans riled about games that didn't get nominated and, soon, those that don't win. If the outcry is loud enough, frustrated publicists will also be winners.

Snubbed games are written about as much as those selected since readers prefer stories with drama

I did another update to the LinkedIn PR starter pack with managing requests for inclusion across bsky and li feeling like a full-time job :)

I will hold off until tomorrow for another update.

Thank you all for your interest!

Since I recently got a bunch of public relations industry followers, what's one of your favorite pr tips (other than having a good story)?
November 17, 2024 at 11:49 PM
Many of the PR and communications folks who hang out on LinkedIn are expanding their presence to Bluesky.

Here is a Starter Pack for those interested in the public relations corner of this app!

Alright the initial starter pack is set up. I'll be adding people who reply to this post and remember the cap is 150 and you need 7 to start. Note, bookmark, etc to keep up with this as I add people.

Again it is with consent and opt in for people I know to be added.
