In their words

What the people I worked with say

“Kevin ran our guides and SEO with real care, and the results showed in our rankings. He works independently, thinks ahead, and I would work with him again any day.”
Sascha Asendorf CEO, Guided.news
“Working with Kevin has been awesome. He is focused, dedicated, and a self-starter.”
Head of Community Manticore Games
“Kevin combines real games knowledge with clean, fast editorial work. Whatever I hand him comes back thought through and on time, and readers can tell he knows the communities he writes about. I have worked with him for years and would do so again anytime.”
Josef Erl Editor-in-Chief, SPACE4GAMES

Community Building

Every community starts at zero. I design the Discord, set the tone, build the first structures and rituals, and get the first hundred members talking. Works the same whether your game is a wishlist page or already live.

You can't fake community. You can only make it easy to stay.

Pricing

Clear engagement models, honest capacity

Founder-operated means: I take on a limited number of clients in parallel, and every one of them works directly with me, from strategy to execution.
