Leveling Up: Authenticity, Identity, and the Future of Fandom
Gaming is no longer a niche pastime, it’s a cultural crossroads where music, sport, entertainment, and storytelling collide. In this conversation, Indy Khabra of Livewire walks us through how gaming is driving cultural convergence, the real value of in-game engagement, and why identity is still the underestimated frontier (hello, Gamer.ID). We’ll also dive into what makes gaming partnerships authentic (no stunts, please), how blending IP with leagues like the NFL enriches both sides, and how Indy’s journey building a global gaming marketing leader has taught him the power of community, iteration, and bold vision.
