“I’ve known Adrian since 2008, when he was one of a select group of people ahead of the curve in terms of understanding how mobile, social and free-to-play — at the time, considered “emerging trends” for games — would impact the games space. I’m excited to see this experience still serves his work. I’ve learned a lot from him, and he’s friendly, supportive and a pleasure to work with.”
“It was wonderful to have Adrian in to mentor our mobile game teams at Execution Labs. He willingly shared his hard earned wisdom in social design and monetization mechanics with the teams. Tons of great tips and tricks to implement!”
I can say with confidence that their perspective will absolutely have an impact on our future direction. Jordan even spent a week with us on campus in Vancouver to completely immerse himself into our initiatives and to work directly with our development group. This time together was invaluable in getting everyone on the same page. To wrap everything up we received a very comprehensive white paper summarizing findings, providing an assessment of our current position against the completive set, and suggesting areas of emphasis for our product teams. This paper was circulated widely across all levels of our studio and was well-received.
“I loved working with Adrian. Partnering creatively is rarely easy, especially without an existing relationship, but Adrian made it a great experience. He challenged us when appropriate, contributed great ideas and stimulated a level of design I think not possible for us to achieve on our own.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Adrian on several occasions, over the last few years. Each and every interaction has been extremely positive, with not only great results, but also reliably enjoyable processes for everyone involved. Adrian’s world-class expertise nicely complements his tireless enthusiasm, to truly energize and inspire the group, while also maintaining the necessary focus. This unique blend of creative vision and practical know-how makes him an extremely valuable addition to any team.”
Working with Adrian’s consulting group was great. They consulted with us for 3 months starting with a full-blown design audit with priorities on retention and monetization. The info that spun out of the audit set our objectives for the next six weeks. At which time we drilled down into specific areas (monetization, retention, compulsion loops, industry comparisons, and social virality) that gave us actionable tasks and a dev roadmap for six months.
“He is a master collaborator, and will embed directly with the team. He’s also the right guy to put in front of top industry execs to pitch, brainstorm, or suss out a project’s milestone plan, product goals, or design strategy. Adrian is my go-to guy whenever I get in a pinch and need someone to come in and drive an emergency project — regardless of scope or subject matter.”
