GAMA has hired John Kaufeld as its new marketing director, according to an announcement by the game publishers’ organization.  Kaufeld has been handling marketing, communications, and publicity for the organization on a part time basis for the past year.  He also had a previous two year stint with the organization as communications director, and has served on the GAMA board and on the GAMA Retail Division board. 

Matt Ragsdale, who had been handling exhibitor sales and services, left the organization earlier this month “as part of a strategic move to better utilize our staff,” the organization said. 

And the organization has made an offer to a candidate for the GAMA executive director position (see “Gallela Leaving GAMA ED Post”), and expects to have an announcement soon.
