Draco Studios

I had a 9-month contract working for the award-winning Mexican games design company, Draco Studios. During this time several Kickstarter projects were launched and successfully funded, the most recent being Dragonbond: Battles of Valerna.

This campaign was fully funded just over an hour after going live, and the total pledged by backers exceeded the predicted amount by around 30%. To see the campaign, please visit the page on Kickstarter.

Before writing anything for this Kickstarter campaign, it was vital that I took the time to understand the world of 3D printing, specifically with regard to collecting miniatures.

Thankfully, my 17-year career with world-leading miniatures company Games Workshop stood me in good stead and I quickly began to understand the unique benefits of 3D printing, and the qualities that customers look for in this fascinating sub-niche.

Alongside writing the copy for the Kickstarter campaign, for Battles of Valerna I also wrote:

  • the live campaign updates, which were a vital way to stay engaged and build relations with the backers.
  • a silo of 12 blog posts that really dug deep into each of the armies and brought to life the creation process for one of the dragons.
  • a series of emails to support the marketing campaign.
  • all of the campaign social media text.
  • outreach emails and briefs for content creation with industry influencers.
