Team Raptor ticked all the boxes with their considerable experience within the mobile games industry. We’re looking forward to reaching developers and publishers through great, informed storytelling with Raptor PR.”
Nicolas Gilot, CEO and Founder, Ultra, commented:
“Ultra is a platform with gaming at its core and which leverages cutting-edge technologies to improve on the status quo in the games industry. Raptor PR reflects this ethos with a tangible passion for gaming and a pragmatic approach to emergent tech. We’re looking forward to benefiting from Raptor’s energy and enthusiasm about the games industry – both present and future.”
Craig Chapple, Head Of Content , Raptor PR, commented:
“I’m delighted to join Raptor. I love writing about the games industry and making use of quality data and powerful storytelling. This has been my calling for the past 11+ years at Develop, PocketGamer.biz and Sensor Tower, and I’m pleased that the rest of the growing team at Raptor shares my curiosity and depth of knowledge about gaming.”
Raptor PR has been recently voted as a finalist for Agency of the Year at the Mobile Game Awards, from Steel Media. Its appointments by Ultra and SuperScale follow the Q4 2022 wins of Kinetix, Sandsoft Games, and Bidstack Group PLC.
