Gaming Editorial
Press coverage for teams, orgs, players, and creators across IGN, Kotaku, PC Gamer, Polygon, Dexerto, and category-specific trade outlets. Not one-off mentions, but consistent media presence.
Gaming & Esports PR
Gaming has more attention than almost any other industry. Very little of it translates into real recognition.
Coverage on the platforms the industry respects separates a known name from a forgotten gamertag.
Millions watch, follow, and engage — but the players, teams, and brands that get remembered are the ones whose names appear outside of Twitch chat. MXNN Media secures press across the outlets the gaming community treats as official record.
The ecosystem of official record
We secure press coverage across the outlets the gaming community reads, and we work within the editorial standards of the databases and directories that the scene treats as authoritative.
Databases & Competitive Record
The press coverage we secure builds the documentation that independent wiki editors (Liquipedia, Wikipedia, scene-specific databases) cite as sources. We build the record — their editors decide what qualifies for their pages.
Community Amplification
Coverage on respected platforms does not just get read. It gets clipped, shared, embedded in Reddit threads, and posted in the community servers where the scene actually lives.
Attention Architecture
Timing the peak hype.
We time coverage around the moments that generate the most attention in gaming — tournament runs, roster announcements, game launches, sponsorship deals, and content drops.
A single well-timed feature during a peak moment can do more for long-term name recognition than months of grinding content. It makes the community perceive you as an established part of the scene rather than someone still trying to break in.
Earning community belonging.
Gaming audiences are loyal but skeptical. They can tell instantly whether someone belongs. Press coverage on the outlets this community actually reads signals that you were covered because you deserved to be — not because you paid for a shoutout.
