1. So Monika, tell us a bit about yourself! Who are you and what do you do?

• I’m Monika, a Business Development Manager at Gamelight. I live in Edinburgh and apart from my professional passion for growing businesses, building connections, and networking, I love travelling, fashion, basketball, and sunny days. So perhaps Scotland might not be the best place for me haha.

2. Are you an AM or a PM person?

• To be honest a bit of both haha. It depends on my schedule but I definitely feel better when I go to bed not so late.

3. What tips do you have from your experience working remotely?

• Working 100% remotely can be a dream come true to some but a nightmare to others. I find it important to exercise in the morning or at least stretch/ do some yoga as it puts me in the right energy for the day. I also plan my week ahead on a Sunday and then a day before each day I double-check my schedule. I try to take regular breaks and finish work on time rather than always staying late to avoid sacrificing my personal life with work. (Not always the case but I try haha)

4. What are your go to games at the moment?

• To be honest I don’t have much time to play games these days but my fav ones are Homescapes, Gardenscapes, Wordscapes, Two Dots, Chess, Nonogram.com & Cross Logic.

5. A song plays every time you walk into a room. What song would you choose and why?

• Bésame by Play-N-skillz, Daddy Yankee, Zion & Lennox. I just love the vibe and it makes me happy and ready to dance every time.

6. How did you start working in mobile gaming?

• Working at Gamelight is actually my first job in gaming. The gaming community is proving to be a bunch of amazing people and I cannot wait for more networking opportunities

7. Can you share a bit more about Gamelight and your game recommendation platform?

• Gamelight is a Hamburg-based app publisher. We have a mobile game-discovery platform where we recommend various games to our users. For partners, it is a direct in-app UA source with 100% gamers traffic. Main USPs are:

- Age & gender targeting

- Competitor game targeting

- Self-serve dashboard on a CPI basis (More detailed info can be accessed here: gamelight.io)

9. Thanks for joining us at Gamesforum Barcelona last month! What was your highlight from the event?

• Many on-topic panel talks that I could learn from. Meeting with some old friends and making so many new ones!

10. We had some great panels and presentation in Barcelona, can you pick a favourite?

• Hmm if I am to pick one, then the unfiltered panel on UA day was one of my favourites.
