DEPT®/GAMES

DEPT®/GAMES is a team of experts in game strategy, design, development, and marketing. We help conceive, build, and market future-ready games that audiences love. We’re proud to craft unforgettable stories.

Pioneering the future of engagement 

Games aren’t just games. They’re the new social media, runways, stadiums, storefronts and classrooms. Already, concerts and sports regularly surpass 10 million views on gaming platforms like Fortnite and Roblox, more than they do in real life. We foresee a future in which interlinked gaming platforms will deeply engage audiences, connecting people in new ways.

With experience stretching back to 2009 across AR, AI, VR, and game platforms, we have a uniquely deep heritage in this space. The DEPT®/GAMES team has shipped over 250 AAA Games, and worked at most major game studios. This, combined with the expertise of over 4,000 digital specialists worldwide in marketing and technology, makes us uniquely placed to support your gaming business.

We draw on global know-how. At DEPT®, we pair the culture and creativity of a boutique agency with the resources and range of a global one. Our global network covers a range of skills and technologies to create the right team for your brief.

We use our creative chops. We’re trusted for creative marketing by industry giants like Roblox, Twitch and Snap. And we channel this knowledge of game culture and creativity into our game work.

We partner for the long haul. We understand how to make games that stay sticky and relevant. This lets us put your long-term strategy front and center of all our thinking.

Our clients

We work for some of the world’s best game companies, from understanding audiences and how best to reach them, to coding and creating games with a consideration for ethics and in-game economics.
