Eric J. Francis

I'm part of a global team of writers, marketers, and other nerds letting the world know Megaport is THE global, full-stack, software-defined infrastructure company — the sine qua non of networking, the boss of bare metal, the savant of storage.

All writing is storytelling, and good games tell stories... or leave you with your own stories to tell about the experience. I've been a professional writer for more than 30 years and am an award-winning (if still unpublished!) tabletop game designer.

I provide voiceover narrative and audio editing services for training materials, podcasts, and other inward- and outward-facing needs. I have a warm voice and a natural delivery.

I lead the communications team for GAMA, the nonprofit trade association for the tabletop game industry, where I oversee communications, marketing, and outreach strategy for our member services, events, and advocacy work.

I manage internal and external communications and media relations for GAMA, the nonprofit professional association for the tabletop games industry. We work with manufacturers, publishers, retailers, designers, and others to provide continuing education, advocacy, media relations, professional networking, and in-person events such as the Origins Game Fair and the GAMA Expo. Our vision: A game on every table, a table for everyone.

I worked with PhD researchers to take their reports and data and turn them into narrative content that is marketed to ed tech, higher education, and nonprofits.

I create brand, web, and B2B marketing assets for a global technology company that provides cloud, security, and content delivery solutions.

I interview and profile company executives and trucking association leaders, as well as write about people, events and issues impacting the trucking, transportation and logistics industries. MPG publishes magazines in 16 states, and reaches thousands of trucking and associated industries professionals in each.

Worked with Wayfair's Supplier Creative Team to produce copy aimed at businesses who sell home goods through the nation's leading e-commerce platform.

A regular contributor to Scout Cambridge and Scout Somerville, hyperlocal magazines in Massachusetts, I stepped in as interim editor-in-chief in late 2019 to help during their transition between editors.

I created content for clients in the B2B technology sector, particularly transportation and SAAS. I wrote white papers and case studies, social media posts, and contributed bylines for C-suite.

As managing editor of a start-up statewide magazine, I was responsible for its editorial content, establishing its voice and POV. Duties included developing the editorial calendar, managing freelancers, soliciting commentary from business and political leaders, writing and editing. I was also associate editor of Vowell Inc.'s AY Magazine, a statewide lifestyles and features publication.
