Work in your pants

“It's a real honour to be joining Stu and the team at Dead Good, and not just because my new job description contains that wonderful phrase ‘work in your pants’,” said Pellett

“As a journalist I had first-hand experience of Dead Good PR living up to its name on a weekly basis. Years later, much of its work is still fresh in my mind. I can't wait to begin adding to that legacy and working on the range of knockout titles set for 2018 and beyond.”

As well as working at entertainment publisher and distributor PQube, Pellett has held roles as a consultant on Ninja Theory’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Official PlayStation Magazine editor and GamesMaster editor.
