What is gaming PR?
Gaming PR is the work of earning coverage, credibility and community for game developers, publishers, platforms, esports organizations and gaming technology companies. It combines media relations with creator and streamer outreach, because gaming audiences find news in many places at once. The goal is for the PR team to act as the communication link between a company and the people who follow it.
Which gaming sectors does Virgo PR cover?
Virgo PR covers nine gaming sectors, and each one needs a different story, a different set of reporters and a different community.
Esports: communication strategies that connect teams, tournaments and brands with fans, sponsors and the gaming community. See our esports PR division announcement and guide.
Digital fashion: narratives that show virtual style creations and position a brand in this emerging gaming sector.
Cloud gaming: campaigns that help a platform stand out to players who want on-demand play.
Multiplayer browsing: coverage of platform features that build a sense of community.
Gamification: stories about how game mechanics differentiate a product outside traditional gaming.
Sports betting: communications that build trust and credibility with seasoned bettors and newcomers. See the best gambling and iGaming PR agencies.
Table gaming: coverage for casino and card game offerings, also covered in the gambling and iGaming agency ranking.

How does Virgo PR approach gaming PR?
Virgo's senior team has a background in consumer tech and B2B tech PR, which helps it tell gaming stories to both gaming and mainstream business press. We look for the story behind a company, learn its creative and its technology, and connect it with the journalists and creators who cover that beat. Big stories such as launches, acquisitions and partnerships get a plan, and so do the quieter stories about how a company came to be.
What mistakes do gaming companies make when doing their own PR?
Gaming companies doing their own PR tend to make three mistakes.
Following trends instead of setting them. By the time a company reacts to a trend, it is often over.
Pushing a story that is not newsworthy. A pitch with no real news gets no real results.
Treating coverage as the whole plan. Lasting results come from relationships with journalists, editors, creators and communities.
