Maverick Enlists with SOF Studios for H-Hour: World’s Elite

top_art_hhour work

For some reason, we stopped talking about new clients for a while there. I don’t really know why. [Ed.: Maybe because some jerk hacked our site and crashed it every 4 days until we finally figured it out?] I mean, crowing about clients is S.O.P. for PR Agencies. Some even put out press releases to announce new clients. We don’t do that because a PR agency announcing PR agency stuff seems like some kind of perverted closed circle of publicity human centipededness. We don’t like that thought. At all.

BUT! We’re pretty stoked to be starting work with SOF Studios, in partnership with LVLUP Marketing, on their upcoming tactical military shooter H-Hour: World’s Elite. Read more

WE’RE BACK! MAVPR.com Goes Down For… a Long Time But Rises From the Ashes

were back copy

In the world of small business, you end up doing a lot of things yourself. Frankly, this is why I love running this boutique PR agency — I end up taking responsibility for things like logo design, business card design and production, tee-shirts and other swag, marketing materials, backgrounders and much, much more.

We love working with independent developers, and when you do that as much as we are, it’s critical that you can run as lean and mean as they do, to keep rates low and clients happy.

So… to that end… one of my additional roles is also Web Designer and Web Master. Yes, I am responsible for the look and stability of this site, a site that gets WAY more views than we ever thought it would. And no, I’m not a web guy. And seriously… way more views than we ever thought.

When we hit problems with the site at the end of last year, it was on me to diagnose and fix. But, it was ALSO on me to push awesome games like Elite: Dangerous, so the site’s priority fell pretty fast, pretty hard.

But now… we’re back! Things are normal again after a deep dive with tech support and we’ll be be back posting a lot more.

To those who stopped by and couldn’t find info on us… or media who tried to register for the media list and couldn’t… we’re sorry! But keep an eye out as we get back to posting all the great news and info on our clients as well as additional pieces that we just make up on the side, like reviving the Thank You For Gaming streaming show we had so much fun with last year.

Hopefully we won’t have the site fall apart again, but if you does, you know who to complain to… THIS GUY.
