Talent Short Bio

Gareth Woods – Marketing Innovation states that despite being the largest and most lucrative of demographics millennials continue to confound traditional marketing tactics to the frustration of marketers globally.

Despite their apparent “counter culture” perspective these “unique and special snowflakes” are not without their similarities and Gareth helps us to unpack some of what makes them tick through one of their largest and fastest growing passion points – video gaming.

Gareth has been into video games pretty much since video games existed and has played almost every console ever made.

He has hosted at almost every major esports event in South Africa over the past few years and across several titles such as Counter Strike, Dota2 and Call of Duty.
He currently hosts a weekly segment on the Expresso Show on SABC showcasing all the latest news and reviews in the world of gaming.
A passion for gaming and esports, as well as a corporate career in marketing and sponsorship led him to create Good Game Well Played – South Africa’s first esports marketing agency.
Gareth Woods notoriety in the esports community has grown dramatically and has been featured in FinWeek, Maggs on Media, Huffington post, Forbes Africa and The Money Show with Bruce Whitfield – as well as being invited to speak at the first ever African esports marketing summit in 2016.
