Sam Forrest becomes Jagex VP of communications

UK developer Jagex has confirmed that Sam Forrest is its new VP of communications.

Forrest joined the studio as PR director in August 2012. This new role sees him take charge of Jagex’s entire PR, video production, video marketing and events operations.

The past 18 months have seen the PR team go from strength to strength,” Forrest said. The in-house team has doubled in size and we’ve recruited a global agency network to support Jagex’s games and promote the studio properly for the first time.

2014 is key for Jagex with the launch of Transformers Universe, and I relish the challenge that comes with this new role as we solidify Jagex’s position as a UK development powerhouse.”
