Akshon Esports is an esports media start-up based in Vancouver. Focusing on the Overwatch League, League of Legends and other various gaming titles, I was responsible for all social media communications from strategy to deployment.

My most memorable experience here was being able to work for Akshon, while residing briefly in Los Angeles. I wanted to have the first-hand experience of doing esports media coverage. I attended the UCI Esports Conference, Overwatch team’s LA Valiant’s tailgate event, TwitchCon 2018, League of Legends Scouting Grounds event and All-Star event hosted in Las Vegas. In one quarter, I learned valuable experiences of interviewing, writing and collaborating with various partners. I made a lot of valuable connections here with colleagues who are passionate about esports.

I really enjoyed working with Akshon because they gave me the freedom to explore various ways of content creation in the esports space.

Fun Fact: I learned how to use the Adobe Suite (Photoshop/Premiere) here!
