Consultancy

My extensive experience within the game industry has been garnered through my management of an independent game development studio since the mid 1990s. This has included work across many diverse platforms; from mobile phone to XBox 360 and from Nintendo DS to PlayStation 3. I have handled both original IP and licensed IP from the likes of Atari, Disney, Revolution Studios, and Sega, including for ‘traditional’ games and ‘casual’ games.

I’ve spoken at events held by organisations such Game Republic and Casual Games North West. I’ve also taken part in specialist labs such as the wonderfully inspiring Crossover, which mixed leading figures from documentary and new media, and have participated within advisory groups for organisations such as Nesta.

My professional interests also cross over into mainstream digital media, television production, social networks, user generated content, ARGs, and mobile communication.

I am available as a specialist game industry consultant within the following areas:

• Aiding new and existing studios with business development.
• Advising indie developers, solo or teams, at any stage of game development.
• Helping tv producers, writers, directors, and production companies understand the power and benefits of interactive content, including social networks, user generated content, and Flash games.
• Advising investors and media companies considering entering the mobile or games market.
• Advising IP holders considering licensing their properties to the game industry.
