Background

About Patrick Dane

I’m a dynamic and experienced entertainment editor with over 12 years of industry expertise. Most recently as the gaming editor at Dexerto, I helped the website grow to over 45 million users a month, hitting all-time highs for the website under my tenure of its most popular verticle. As a BAFTA Connect member, I also bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep network of industry connections, backed by over a decade of active involvement in the press. In February 2023 I became the gaming editor at Dexerto, where I oversaw the vertical and massive growth. Before that, I was hired by Future PLC to be part of the team that built TechRadar Gaming from the ground up in early 2022. While there, I worked alongside a world-class team of writers and editors. I led guides and evergreen content on the site, a deeply important aspect of any brand looking to survive in the current landscape. In many ways, I have always had that spirit of building something new. In 2014, Bleeding Cool challenged me to launch their gaming section, which I developed into a significant player in the gaming press. Within a year, I was promoted to Managing Editor, where I guided the site through major changes, managing around twenty contributors, while implementing a new style guide and improving our remote working system. In 2017, I wanted a new challenge after being at Bleeding Cool for years, so I joined the world of freelance to broaden my writing experience. From there I went on to hone my craft at some of the most recognizable names in the industry. During this time I was published on IGN, Edge, Metro, PCGamer, Eurogamer, GamesRadar, International Business Times, GamesTM, GamesMaster, and more. This experience allowed me to work closely with some of the world’s leading editors, which improved my work as a writer immensely. As a writer, an editor, and a leader, I've proven success with some of the biggest outlets in the world, a skill I can bring to any team.
