About

I am working with the greatest company in the world after the startup I helped founded repeat.gg was acquired by Sony in August 2022. I am excited to continue my journey in the gaming and esports space, making connections and impactful campaigns globally. Abit about me - I am an esports veteran of 20+ years. I started my journey as a professional FPS gamer under the username Boomser travelling the world and playing Counter-strike competitively. Since retirement, I have involved myself in every aspect of esports and community within the industry, from casting, management, community management and marketing. I like to interact and connect myself with as many esports and gaming enthusiasts as I can on Linkedin, as I am always willing to network with new people in the scene. I have a deep passion and knowledge of the industry. I wish to help educate new brands, companies and people in the industry while ensuring they are connected to authentic esports business people. Please feel free to contact me or network with me; I am always available for a chat. Roles at Sony/Repeat.gg - Manager of Global Program Team Campaign Strategy & Managerment Brand Program building Global program design & management Brand activations Developer relationships Community outreach and management Influencer/talent management An ancient bio created many years ago - Boomser is the longest-serving professional esports personality in Australia. With over 18 years of experience competing in tournaments since the age of 13, there isn't much Scott hasn't been involved in gaming; this has allowed him to travel around the world, appear on network television and gain experience in esports while gaining an extensive network. This has given him first-hand knowledge of the scene work within the esports industry. Scott has been introduced to the gaming industry locally and globally due to his time on a televised gaming league, aired worldwide to millions in 2007 and 2008, on a paid contract for the Championship Gaming Series on Direct TV 101. His knowledge in esports allows Scott to speak the language of the gaming community and break the barrier of corporate communications to its users.
