Why
Studios, Platforms, & Startups
Trust Me

Deep rooted industry insight

A decade of experience in gaming, streaming, and community engagement gives me a unique edge to help build lasting consumer trust and loyalty.

I understand both sides

I know what users expect, what businesses need, and I act as a strategic translator to help companies integrate user feedback into better product decisions.

I focus on retention, not just acquisition

I help companies design communities and experiences that keep users coming back by understanding what makes a game or platform feel rewarding, engaging, and worth a user's time.

I turn customer insight into actionable strategy

I provide concrete, data-backed recommendations that help studios and platforms improve their product, UX, and community engagement.

I help avoid costly mistakes

Many brands waste money on misaligned marketing, influencer partnerships, and disconnected messaging. I help ensure your budget is spent in ways that actually work.

I cut through the noise

The gaming space is oversaturated, and users are beyond skeptical. I help position your brand authentically so that consumers trust, engage with, and advocate for your product.

What others are saying

"10 out of 10, would rely on him again!"

Markstrom is incredibly fun to work with and has vast insight into gamer and streamer reactions to games, especially within the extraction shooter genre. As a consultant, his priority is giving you the best advice to maximize the potential success of your project. His core beliefs tie to meaningful experiences, maximum creative fun, and well developed games. Whether you want to maximize the reception of your game with your market entry strategy, boost metrics with in-game events and user reward opportunities (ie. Twitch Drops), or gauge what the market reaction might be to your innovative new design; Markstrom can give you a strong indication of how effective your efforts will be and he will set you straight if you are lacking fundamentals. His foresight is consistently accurate.

"Proud to work with him and would recommend! "

For nearly a decade, Gamers Outreach has partnered with Markstrom in support of our fundraising efforts with streamers. His expertise, guidance, and direct involvement have led to thousands of dollars raised for our programs. He's been directly responsible for bringing joy and relief to hospitalized families. We're proud to work with him and would recommend his services for anyone interested in creating meaningful strategies alongside creators!

"He didn’t just consult—he joined us in our mission"

Working with Markstrom transformed our partner program at Cafe Collazo. He didn’t just identify why so many programs stumble—he showed us how to avoid common pitfalls, address structural flaws, and design a model that truly serves creators.

Thanks to his insight and collaborative spirit, we’ve launched a program that empowers our partners and drives real results. Markstrom’s openness to fresh ideas and strategic guidance made him more than a consultant—he’s become a pivotal part of our journey.

"His feedback has shaped our roadmap"

The team and I at Blerp have had the pleasure of working with Markstrom for the last 4 years. In that time he has been an invaluable resource for product feedback. We routinely run new features by him for his first take, follow up thoughts, and more often than not spirited discussion. He is passionate about representing his stream, his audience and the interests of his fellow broadcasters. His strongest ideas are well supported and are malleable when he is presented with conflicting information. We routinely count on him for actionable feedback before and after our releases. We often get messages days or weeks after our calls that include additional relevant anecdotes, feedback, and even changes to his opinions informed by conversations with us or his peers. His feedback has shaped our roadmap and product for as long as I have been with Blerp.
