PlayStation UK PR boss takes on European comms role

Long-serving PlayStation veteran David Wilson has been named the new director of communications for Europe.

Wilson has spent over 15 years at PlayStation, joining in 2000 as head of UK PR. He has managed the launches of PS2, PSP, PS3, PS Vita and PS4.

Prior to Sony, he worked as head of European PR for EA between 1992 and 2000.

He began in games in 1989 as a journalist.

Working on the PlayStation business in the UK has been an incredible experience, from launching PS2 to PS4, and everything in between,” Wilson told MCV.

I am very grateful for being given this opportunity to take charge of communications as we continue to build upon the success of PlayStation 4, launch a stellar line up of games for 2016, and move into a new era with PlayStation VR.”
