The Game Manufacturers Association has hired Rachael Blaske to become their new Marketing Manager.

Blaske has 17 years of experience working as a marketing and brand consultant. She entered the games industry as a professional in 2018, starting out as the CEO of Five24 Labs, LLC (which was later rebranded as Poketto), the publisher of Mint Works. Later, Blaske became the Vice-President of Channel Marketing for Wise Wizard Games in 2020.

"She is uniquely qualified for the position having worked as a Publisher, worked in Sales and Marketing, and as Brand Consultant,” said GAMA's Executive Director John Stacy. “Her communication skills and passion for tabletop games will be of great benefit for our members and the industry.”

As GAMA's Marketing Manager, Blaske will head up their communications team to promote and support GAMA’s programs and events. She will also help grow the tabletop marketplace with the help of GAMA’s Market Expansion Committee efforts.
