Wargaming – 2010 and 2018

I have been on an incredible journey with wargaming launching World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes in the UK.

I was also instrumental in the formation of a variety of Wargaming partnerships with museums, culminating in the building of the Education Centre, Tiger Tank Collection and fury exhibition at the Bovington Tank Museum, the Dornier 17 exhibition at the RAF Museum, and the Royal Navy Museum’s Battle of Jutland exhibition.

During this time, we generated extensive coverage for all wargaming brands with a plethora of covers and coverage across all spectrums, gaining wargaming a solid foothold in the UK market.

The special projects division within wargaming offered the opportunity to work on creations for museums offering VR/AR and ‘app’ projects, which include: VR of HMS Belfast and HMS Caroline. As project lead on apps including Tank 100, HMS Caroline, and Apparition Dornier 17 and working with partners on the Microsoft hololens and Google Tango for Sturmtiger for the tiger tank collection – the only missing tank in that collection.

in 2017, our biggest project; Tank 100, was a celebration of the 1st tank on the battlefield in France in WWI. This was a year-long project starting with a media event at the Bovington Tank Museum, the creation of a special edition magazine with Gamesmaster, and an app entitled Tank 100 which includes AR and VR and ends with the Mark 4 tank appearing in Trafalgar Square.
