After a ten-year long career in social media at Vanity Fair, WSJ, Vox Media, etc., I'm currently in games marketing. I lead marketing on Trinkets!, a multiplayer party card-based game. Trinkets! won the Most Innovative award from Xsolla, NetEase, and Akupara Games. During the winter Steam Next Fest in 2025, we doubled our wishlist. Trinkets! was featured by Patch Magazine in their "Bird Indie Game" roundup and AAPI in Gaming. We showcased in Boston during PAX East 2025 and in NYC at Archway Arcade. I've spoken in game dev career panels/presentations at NYU and Creative Mornings NYC. In general, my social media strong suits (in descending order) are: strategy, video, copy & design. My community manager strengths (in descending order) are: live events, customer service, and defining the player voice. In addition, I serve as the marketing lead for Future Suit Games. We're working on a narrative card-battling game called Daughter of the Rift. My email: margaretglin@gmail.com

Carving with Care was made as a team submission (nine members) to a game jam in Fall 2024! We were given the opportunity to pitch to a panel of live judges and received live and written feedback. I led marketing and wrote all the Substack posts, marketing copy and some in-game copy. I also led the pitch deck creation and created a MVP budget breakdown. About the game: *Board* at work and want to escape the modern 9-5? Play as Ash, owner of their family's reopened wood carving shop, Carving with Care! Chisel away to your heart's content as you complete the ancient runes found in a family heirloom journal.
