Testimonials
Anne-Marie McGarry - Head of Marketing - Logitech GHaving used Alan’s media services on both McLaren’s – Worlds Fastest Gamer and the Logitech G Gamechangers podcast. Alan’s knowledge provided a positive experience, quick to adapt and improvise while providing a professional service. His commentary skills involved presenting on stage with little prep during an intense production. While the Gamechangers podcast required a calm and carefully researched debate, tackling complex issues, identifying areas for concern, eventually working towards positive solutions, providing positive outcomes.
I would happily work with Alan again and would highly recommend him for a wide range of media activities.
Eric MindJimba - International Marketing Manager - ThrustmasterWorking with Alan is always a great experience thanks to his proactivity, reliability, professionalism and high level of expertise.
Dr Mike Reddy - Academic Integrity Advisory Group at The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher EducationI first met Alan in his capacity as fellow guest and commentator for “The Match”, XLeague.tv premier programme at the time. Mr. Boiston is enthusiastic and eloquent on the subject of computer games, and specifically of e-sports.
His early and important involvement with the subsequent flagship show, “Games Night” as the first presenter, brought a much-needed serious face to XLeague/Pulse as was highly acclaimed by both viewers and independent analysts. The show went through several changes, both of presenter and format, but the essence that Alan brought to the original concept, namely that of dealing with controversial issues head on, was persistent and largely responsible for the programme winning BEST Games Media Award at the MCV Games Media Awards in 2008.
Sebastien Waxin – Marketing Manager - NaconI’ve been working with Alan for the last 10 years on all our racing games, besides other genres and product lines. Our collaboration evolved over the years, from a classic media relationship to a content creator position and now more and more on consultancy missions.
Alan is a fountain of science for motorsport but not only racing games, as he also has a strong gaming and entertainment culture in general across all genres. The dedication that Alan is able to put in some projects, doesn’t have any limits. From a content creator perspective, Alan produces high quality content which makes the difference with tons of other guys online. When it comes to consultancy missions, Alan always helps to take a step back, and highlights what are the strength and weaknesses of a product with a strong knowledge of players’ expectations.
Trust and commitment are the first 2 words I would have in mind to define Alan.
Phil Robinson - Vice President - Rising Star Games Inc.I’ve worked with Alan now on a few projects and always found him to show great attention to detail in all his work, along with always being willing to go that extra mile to make sure you get the info needed. He is very knowledgeable is his area and always a great point of contact for advice.
