Most of our syndicate coalesced around the darkest arts - creating the modern VR ecosystem at Oculus Publishing as part of Meta. We bring the same mentality to our Go To Market engagements, with a focus firmly on the task at hand, not some far Horizon.
Whether you need marketing asset development, product management or PR and marketing, we can cover every aspect of taking your game to market, so you can pierce the veil of modern games discoverability. Our Trailer in a Box program is a great example of how we can provide value to teams at every scale and schedule.
