Jo Bartlett has left Nintendo UK

Nintendo UK’s head of communications and partnerships Jo Bartlett has left the company.

Bartlett spent four years at Nintendo, having replaced her long-term predecessor Rob Saunders in 2011 upon his departure to Apple.

During her tenure she worked on a number of campaigns including the launch of the Wii U and New 3DS as well as games such as Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Splatoon.

General manager Simon Kemp will now oversee Nintendo UK’s PR team with assistant PR manager Emma Bunce until such a point as a replacement is found.

Jo has been a real asset to the Nintendo UK business – especially valued for her professionalism and attention to detail,” Kemp stated. She will be greatly missed.”
