The content is great, it's old no update and no course resource

By Lazaro Peraza on 4/4/2019

The course covered a lot of fundamental information about branding in the gaming industry. However, I do wish that it was a little bit more hands on. I feel that some of the websites that were discussed could have been linked in a resources tab and that there were more demonstrations on how to navigate said websites. Appreciated the entry-level information, but I do wish it had gone a little bit more in depth and been more engaging.

By Juan Torres Segura on 10/6/2018

This course is a very good election for people interested in the gaming media, it taught me some very basic/important things to understand. The instructor is very good at explaining everything and it really can make this course very easy to understand and even easier to learn.

Todo bien, pero aun es el inicio. Ya veremos como va el resto del curso. Audio de audio esta bien, pero el de la musica de intro es alto

By Dakota Lee on 8/1/2018

Was very knowledgeable about the field, and gave applicable knowlage to many fields outside of gaming, and social media marketing.

By Brandon Warford on 7/27/2018

useful information, but found it a little dry and narrative copywriter and resume building has the same video.

By Edward Ethridge on 7/24/2018

Yes it is a good match, so far.

By Alan Mustafa on 7/23/2018

Kind of disappointed. I really liked to see more active engagement such as a large number of examples. The only major thing I took from this course was that Twitter and Raddit are mostly used tools than Facebook in the game industry. Adding a few documents to read, a few checklists to double check an activity to the course won't hurt. Thank you for sharing your experience.

By Ashley Robinson on 7/19/2018

Really helped me in my pursuit to brand myself on social media, I'm fairly new to the games industry so I will take all the help I can get and Valgard is clearly very knowledgeable on the subject. Absolutely recommended to anyone interested in catapulting their personal image in the gaming industry! 10/10

By Sam Murray on 7/17/2018

Great experience, related a lot of his guidance to real-life situations and stories which really helped drive home the impact of the information.
