Promotions at PocketGamer.biz as site continues to grow

As PocketGamer.biz continues to grow as the world’s leading mobile games B2B website and events series, Craig Chapple and Ric Cowley have been promoted to new positions.

PocketGamer.biz Editor Craig Chapple has now been made Senior Editor. On top of his duties with PocketGamer.biz, he will play a closer role in Steel Media’s popular Pocket Gamer Connects Events, including the newly announced Mobile Games Awards, as well as overseeing a brand new B2B website reporting on the world of influencers - set to launch very soon.

Exciting times

PocketGamer.biz News Editor Ric Cowley meanwhile, who has been reporting on mobile games for over two years, has been promoted to Deputy Editor.

He will continue reporting on the biggest news stories in the industry and offering informed analysis on the latest trends, as well as taking on more responsibilities around the website.

“Ric Cowley has proven himself an able journalist over the years and an expert on all things mobile, and fully deserves his promotion,” said Senior Editor Craig Chapple.

“Our influencer marketing website is a hugely exciting new project that I’m confident, under Editor Danielle Partis, will become the leading media hub for business to get their fill of influencer news and keep themselves up to date with a rapidly growing and evolving market.”

COO Dave Bradley commented: "PocketGamer.biz remains the go-to destination for news about the mobile games business. It's trusted by the industry and this is reflected in how it's thrived in 2017, with users up over 30% and page views up over 60% compared to this time last year. Craig, Ric and the team are committed to insightful analysis and genuine utility for the industry, and their initiatives like the Mobile Games University section and practical webinars have contributed to the site's success.

"The Pocket Gamer brand's B2B event series, PG Connects, has had a fantastic year too, and all the signs are that PG Connects London in January will be Steel Media's biggest ever conference.This foundation has given us the confidence to branch into new markets over the last year, including VR, AR and PC.

"Mapping the landscape of influencer marketing is our next editorial venture. I'm excited to see what Craig, Danielle and team will create there – watch this space."
