Catherine Litvaitis is a community management and marketing expert who has worked for the past seven years to uplift gaming communities for PC, console, and mobile titles. She’s worked on many games across a wide variety of genres, like Bear and Breakfast, In Stars and Time, BATTLETECH, and Spellomancer. Her work was a major contributor to the success of Bear and Breakfast, organically growing its Discord nearly 400% leading up to launch. A four-time GDC speaker, Catherine’s spoken in depth about her community and social media strategy to this and other games in talks like 2023’s “Play With Your Audience: Enhancing Your Social Strategy Through Theater.” With her talent for word-of-mouth engagement, Catherine can build healthy and welcoming fan bases for any project.

A lifelong Neopets fan, Catherine co-leads the only Neopets guild for game developers. (The guild even has jackets.) When she is not running games communities, Catherine is a member of an improv group in New York State’s Capital Region. This love for acting directly informs her personality-driven approach to brand voice and reactive posting. Additionally, she has volunteered as a moderator in the Supergiant Games Discord server since Hades 1 Early Access in 2018. Community is at the core of Catherine’s passions even outside the workplace.
