Video Game Marketing & Communication Specialist

Mylène Lourdel

Who am I?

For almost nine years I have been evolving professionally in the game industry, specializing in online and independent titles. My career began at ANKAMA, where I worked as the Product Manager for the game DOFUS. My next step took me to CD PROJEKT, where I worked for the digital distribution platform GOG.com – again as product manager – for the French and Belgian markets.

Professionally, I like to take on a multi-disciplinary role, and I am “a jack of all trades“. I’m interested in many topics, love new challenges, and avoid restricting myself to one specific role or task. Throughout my past experiences, I’ve deployed a wide range of skills that now give me adaptability to each and every situation. If your company needs support in communication, marketing or help to target the french market, I’m here for you!
