Books

I write books on different areas of e-sports or e-sports in general. By far my most important work is "Screen Athletes", which I published in 2018. This is seen by the Institute for Ludology, among others, as the standard work on the subject. I have also co-authored six other books at Flying Kiwi Media, co-authored a guide at Heel Verlag and co-authored the first volumes of Esportpedia, as well as co-authored a number book on esports. I was also the writing and academic director and co-founder of Esportpedia until November 2021, and in this position I was responsible for the first four books of the encyclopedia, but have retired due to lack of time. Esportpedia is the world's first analogue e-sports encyclopedia, published by Meyer & Meyer Verlag.

content creation

I offer editorial and writing work in e-sports. This includes the creation of texts, articles and news for endemic and non-endemic newspapers, magazines, publishers, portals and websites. The focus of writing texts in e-sports are: The economic system, business models, sponsoring employer branding, recruiting young talent, team building policy, e-sports as a sport, recognition and promotion of e-sports association structures, mass sport, general explanation of the topic

Speakers / Advice

I have already been invited to various events as a speaker and have given lectures on e-sports there, both analogue and digital. In addition, I advise companies, clubs, associations and other organizations on e-sports, in the past including PENTA, TSV 1860 Munich, eSport Rhein-Neckar and various universities. Consulting companies are subject to a contractually guaranteed confidentiality (NDA).

EMPLOYER BRANDING

E-sport offers many opportunities for various areas of the economy, business and society.


With e-sports as an employer branding measure, for example, completely new target groups can be addressed for the recruitment of specialists, managers and junior staff.


But that's not all: E-sports also offer many opportunities for team building, sharpening skills and learning skills.


I was able to tell more about this at SAATKORN, among other things.
