New York

Paradox Interactive has been a global publisher for a few years now and North America is one of the markets where we are particularly strong. Our publishing business world-wide has increased from a couple of titles each year to a fantastic 5 title line-up, and that's just for the first half of 2006!

As PR and Marketing manager I have traveled to the US quite extensively to meet with writers for the bigger sites and magazines like Gamespot and PC Gamer but also specialist media like the Wargamer and Armchair General. It's great to meet all these dedicated people who have turned their passion into careers, and showing our games in person, games which are often very rich in detail and scope, allow for interesting discussions and questions.

So when Paradox asked me if I wanted to move to New York to set up a fully functioning US office, I did not have to think about it very long. While I'll continue to work with PR and Marketing, my focus this year will be to ensure this New York office is around long after I've returned to Sweden. So in a few weeks I'll make the transition across the Atlantic and continue to strengthen Paradox Interactive's position in North America. I can't wait!!
