Brian Jarrard

Brian Jarrard, aka Sketch,or Ske7ch, is the Community Lead at Bungie.net. As the community manager his job involves wearing a lot of hats, also which includes ensuring the well-being of Bungie at large, publicly and internally too, being the evangelist and spreading the Bungie love to the community out there, basically acting as the conduit between the development team and our fan base. His responsibility is also in merchandise licensing, meaning he ensures the quality control of our Action Figures, books and fan-related sites.

It was brought to our attention at Bungie that there are lots of fans out here in Asia, and I’ve never been to Singapore. Being based in the states makes us US-centric, so it’s good to be able to travel around and show our support to all the fans out there.

Brian on a typical day at Bungie:

''For me, a typical day begins with my morning 'rounds' - I check up on the various fan sites and see what's new in the community and what's happening in the various forums around the net. I keep tabs throughout the day as time permits.

The rest of my day is pretty typical stuff. You know - meetings to talk about Halo 2 launch plans, jumping in for the occasional multiplayer gameplay session to give feedback the new, downloading the latest single player build to play through , talking about the logo and packaging, discussing and it's relationship to Bungie.net, etc... Just your normal every day meetings.''
