EA product manager Kevin Flynn defects, joins Call of Duty team

4.3
Kevin Flynn, who's worked for the last two years as a senior product manager for EA's UK arm, has left to join Activision's UK side as a senior brand manager on Call of Duty. Flynn's previous efforts for EA include launching Battlefield 3 and its subsequent Premium DLC campaigns in the region.

Flynn enlisted with the Call of Duty squad this month, which we imagine must be the busiest time to sign on for an Activision paycheck. With Call of Duty: Ghosts launching on November 5 and next week's next-generation engine reveal during the Xbox event on May 21, we just hope Mr. Flynn is finding adequate time for his lunch break every day. A hungry worker is not a happy worker!

This is good if he manages to mix Call of Duty with Battlefield.

I don't think we will be seeing much of his work as I live in the states but I am sure he will expand the brand throughout the UK and Europe. In a business a good marketing guy is essential and I think they found one here.

GRAPHlCS Hopefully he brings some new features in, probably not though xD

He doesn't do anything with features or game design. His job is to get people to buy the game through marketing.


Good point maybe a better TV commercial.


The Black ops 2 commercial wasn't that bad.


Yea, I liked the fact that it had FPSRussia in it.

Woobie Good move by activision.


How?, If anything it a good move for Flynn.

VampiricPosted:

I can see why they hired him.
Odds are the next CoD will be a rehash of the last one, like all CoD's have been for the past few years.

They deffo need someone good at marketing to persuade people to buy another recycled game.
