Pad & Pixel is led by Brian Crecente, founder of Kotaku, co-founder of Polygon and former editorial director at Rolling Stone and Variety.
Every desk is backed by a bench of veteran games writers and copy editors.
We’ve run the editorial desk for a major PC storefront for five years.
The Editorial Desk
For publishers and studios with a slate to cover. A dedicated desk editor is your single point of contact, handling assignments, the editorial calendar and client communication. Every story is copy-edited, fact-checked, and delivered publish-ready with headline, SEO and art. Breaking news and developer interviews are included, with a monthly performance report. Scales up with your slate.
From $15,000/month
Managed Editorial Program
For storefronts, platforms and publishers running editorial at scale. Led by Brian Crecente’s senior team, with senior bylines, weekly performance analysis against your KPIs, structured content templates, localization workflow, and coordination with your marketing, SEO and social partners.
