Experienced Industry expert assumes PR responsibility Starting in February, Axel Schmidt has assumed the responsibility for PR as GameDuell’s Head of Public Relations. He holds a master’s degree in political science and literature and was most recently working as Director of Corporate Communications for Gameforge. Following his studies and traineeship in Hamburg at PR agency Borgmeier Public Relations, Axel Schmidt became PR Manager of the Berlin-based online games publisher Frogster in 2006, where he was in charge of developing the international product PR.

In March 2012, he transferred to the parent company Gameforge AG, where he was responsible for both external and internal corporate communications in the same position. “We plan to expand our activities and offers in the area of mobile and social games significantly this year. We will accompany this expansion by building out our public relations efforts targeted at professionals who really want to make a difference in the world of games. We are delighted that Axel Schmidt, as an experienced industry expert, has joined us in this endeavor”, comments CEO Kai Bolik on GameDuell’s job and PR initiative.
