WIGJ Profile

Emma Park | she / her

Emma currently works as a campaign manager at Fourth Floor, a creator marketing agency focused on gaming. They’ve been working in marketing for 5 years - 3 of those in video games - but they’ve got a lot of personal projects going on outside of that as well. They are a freelance artist, are writing a book, have plans for a video game, and have very recently started streaming, too!

It’s important to Emma that young women understand there are so many ways to work in the video game industry beyond being the person making the games. Working in agencies is a great way in, and has enabled them to collaborate with so many different game devs and publishers, from the indie to triple A, and feel involved in the success of a title (as well as introduce them to so many cool people, too)!
