The road here
Three levels, one thread: listening to players
In-house community
Community management for game studios and Toplitz Productions: Discord architecture, creator programs, playtest systems, and live ops through content droughts and rough launches.
ReKaiku Media
The studio version of all of it. Community management for games, founder-operated: strategy, systems and execution from one person who has done the work hands-on.
Home base: the German countryside, one hour from gamescom.

Kim Stahlberg
Social Media Creation
Kim is ReKaiku's junior and learns the trade the old way: next to someone who does it every day. She writes captions, keeps the posting schedule running and handles the camera at events. At gamescom 2026 she covered the show floor while Kevin sat in meetings. She came to this as a gamer, with TFT and Palworld on heavy rotation, and off the clock she draws, crochets and does self-taught tattoo work. Client work and strategy stay with Kevin.
Where the name comes from
Kaiku is Finnish for echo
Say something into a community and it comes back: louder, changed, carried by people who were not in the room when you said it. The “Re” is the part most brands forget. Response, return, repetition. An echo only exists because something answers.
That is why the mascot is called Kaiku, and why he wears a headset. He listens first.
It is also how I work. Understand a community before you talk to it, then build the conditions that make it answer.
What makes it different
No agency setup:
you work with the person doing the work.
You work directly with the founder: no handoffs, no account managers.
Editorial craft from years in games media, applied to community work.
Systems that keep running when the week gets loud.
Communities treated as ecosystems, not audiences to extract from.
Honest reporting: you always see what worked, what did not, and what happens next.
