Franz Mann Joins Burson as Team Lead Gaming and Entertainment
Franz Mann, former gamescom PR manager, is now responsible as Team Lead Gaming & Entertainment at Burson. The agency is handling PR for Activision Blizzard in Germany.
With his move to Burson, Franz Mann is returning to the agency side. Until 2020, Mann worked for the global network agency FleishmanHillard. There, amongst others, Mann supported communications around esports data analytics projects by SAP and brands like EA Sports. In 2020, Mann then joined the communications team at Koelnmesse and has since been responsible for communications at gamescom as Public and Media Relations Manager.
As Team Lead Gaming & Entertainment, Franz Mann will therefore remain in the games industry. Burson is the PR agency for Activision Blizzard in Germany. Hill & Knowlton brought the account with it when it merged with Burson Cohn & Wolfe in early 2024.
