Zoe Pennington — Project Manager
Hi friends, I’m moving back to LA this summer! 🎮🎬 I got my start in TV/film and found my home in games. With 5 years in game production, I have hands-on experience in AAA marketing and indie development. I also bring 8 years of experience in post-production across digital content, commercial campaigns, and entertainment trailers. I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated producer who identifies goals, protects them, and guides cross-discipline teams toward success within real production constraints. I’ve specialized in AAA trailers for titles like Elden Ring, Hades II, Hogwarts Legacy, COD Mobile, Tekken 8, Spider-Man 2, Remnant 2, Sword Art Online, Armed Core VI, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Hyper Light Breaker, and Netflix's: Geeked Week. Let's build legacies together: My true passion is learning. I’m always exploring new ways to grow and strive to add meaningful value to teams. My favorite and strongest attribute is how I connect with a team on a personal level. I believe trust and respect in the people around you are essential to being successful together because great games come from empowered people. What I can bring to the table: A calm force: When complexity rises and timelines compress, I'm a steady presence teams can rely on. A hybrid mind: Bridging strategy and execution, translating between technical pipelines and creative visions. A history of collaboration: Trusted by teams like Netflix, Sony, and Bandai Namco to deliver projects successfully, again and again. Highlights as a Game Producer and a Finishing Editor: ⬥ Unlocked team potential by introducing Jira workflows to enhance cross-discipline collaboration in Agile environments, boosting on-time sprint completions by 28% and reducing production delays by 40%. ⬥ Drove scope and priority planning for 100+ production gameplay tasks per sprint, cutting missed deadlines by 38% and ensuring deliverables aligned with milestone goals.
