Nathan Johnson

I am a motivated and versatile graduate with a BA (Hons) in International Esports Business and Digital Media, bringing a unique blend of academic insight and practical experience across communications, marketing, and digital community management. My background reflects a strong understanding of both the creative and strategic aspects of brand storytelling, audience engagement, and digital media production.

Throughout my time working with high-profile Minecraft networks such as MineSuperior and MCParks, I have led community-facing communication strategies, crafted announcements, developed brand-aligned promotional content, and maintained positive engagement across Discord and social media platforms. In addition, my work with Inertia Lighting allowed me to further hone my skills in marketing and public relations, coordinating with internal teams and external partners to deliver effective campaigns that boosted brand visibility and user interaction.

My academic journey included a dissertation focused on the integration of esports into educational curricula—an underexplored but emerging area where I contributed valuable research. Alongside my digital media background, I also hold multiple qualifications in Health and Social Care (Levels 3–5), demonstrating a flexible and well-rounded approach to both business and community-focused roles.

I'm passionate about creative industries, gaming culture, and the future of digital engagement, and I'm eager to bring my skills to roles in communications, marketing, and brand development—particularly within organisations that value innovation, storytelling, and community connection.
