The Perfect Mix: Public Relations in The Gaming Industry

The other day while playing a game on my PS4 I started to wonder about PR in the gaming industry. For a second I caught myself daydreaming about my new dream job. I did some research on that exact topic and I came across an interesting article written by PR &Communication Specialist in the gaming industry Linda Wijnen. When Linda started as a public relations specialist in the gaming industry, she began to wonder how could she implement PR tactics effectively in the world of games. “Now I realize that you need a custom PR approach, which works for a specific (niche) market, in my case gaming.” says Linda. (full article). What does she mean by custom PR approach? Well, you should read her article because I won’t spoil it. Also, don’t forget to come back and share your thoughts on this topic in the comment section.
