Meghan Murphy’s Summary
From public relations, marketing, planning and execution of game launches, event planning, convention logistics, online media planning and buying, advertising sales and business development...you could say I have a pretty well-rounded skill set.
My experience is mainly within the videogame industry, but I have previously dabbled in professional services, tech and non-profit areas. I currently work for the most cutting-edge Themis Media, publisher of the videogame industry and culture hotbed The Escapist (www.escapistmagazine.com).
I previous utilized viral marketing and social networks to promote game launch and expand online presence for clients. I am a avid user of social media networks and applications, finding the most successful ways to grow a community through those mediums.
