Manage episode 397400612 series 3436805
Dustin Winn (Class of 2014) is a seasoned Public Relations professional with more than 10 years of experience managing global video games and tech-driven PR campaigns. Dustin shares the story of how he took his passion for gaming and turned it into a career, which now includes being the co-founder of Ember PR.
That wasn't Dustin's plan and it didn't happen immediately. He gives advice on becoming a master of your craft, whether you need to be a gamer to excel in the video game industry, how different games are marketed based on the audience, the rise of social media influencers to promote a game, and how he selects media members to attend special events.
"Where Ya At?" is a podcast focused on the School of Journalism and Media Studies at San Diego State University. Each week, during the Fall and Spring semesters, host Josh Suchon (Class of 1996) interviews alumni to learn about their experiences as college students, entering the workforce, key steps in their professional development, advice they'd give to current students, and details about how they covered a specific story.
