Markus is also a youtuber, who has been killing the game and testing new types of ways to create for youtube.

Fast Forward to now, Markus actually introduced me to EA Games and allowed me to Direct my first true large budget branded video for Madden with Lil Dicky, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown, and Von Miller. We’ve worked on several projects since then and are finding new ways to create and push the bar.In this podcast, we bounce all over the place to find out how Markus got this amazing position at EA. He shares some of the times he has hit rock bottom as a creator but was determined to find a way out.

Now, Markus works to share his knowledge in the gaming industry through his Podcast, “The Creator’s Toolkit”. He has an army on YouTube known as The Dots which follow his EmmDotFrisk channel that he created.
