Comms & Messaging

Speak directly to your intended audience with the right information, tone, and terms. When press releases and posts need to communicate more than just key message points, we’ll help you write between the lines with the cultural nuance needed to show that you “get it”.

Hosting & Speaking Engagements

Our authentic storytelling sessions inform and entertain while providing a multifaceted POV as content creators, game industry professionals, entertainment biz ops, and small business owners. We host, provide lectures, lead panels, and moderate interactive seminars with our unique flavor.

With a combined 30+ years of games industry experience, Danny Peña and Riana Manuel-Peña are offering product consulting, hosting and speaking engagements, and marketing support for companies in and around games. We specialize in licensed games, transmedia, IP crossovers, and audience subcultures including music, dance, fashion, sports, and children's properties.

What sets us apart from others in this space is our first-hand experience - through games publishing and development from AAA to indie, as well as Hall of Fame games media and content creators.

As a man and woman of color, our perseverance and ingenuity have motivated us to always move differently and lead rather than follow.
