At Cockerel Games, our team is our greatest asset. With diverse backgrounds spanning successful startups, creative industries, and global networks, we bring together a powerhouse of expertise and passion to redefine the board game publishing experience. Meet the people turning bold ideas into extraordinary games.
Any company in this day and age with self-respect needs a digital wizard and ours is Emil “Senzei” Johansen. Emil brings his passion for technology and creative solutions into anything he does. From creating incredible website solutions, to the crafting corner where he delves into laser engraving and 3D printing. He is always looking for ways to improve any product and strives to bring his eye for detail to the customers. When he is not working, he is playing games or watching The Simpsons… he has actually lost track of how many times he has watched the show from start to end
The next component of our flock is another much needed piece of the puzzle. Creating a brand without a badass graphic profile simply can’t be done. So, say hello to Marius “Undergod” Hollås! Marius brings a unique creative flair to Cockerel Games with his background in graphic design, street art and much more. When Marius is not cooking up the next billion-dollar idea he spends his time in the kitchen creating heavenly vegetarian dishes, whilst blasting Drum n’ bass! Oh, and he also owns a couple of cats 😛
What’s next you might think? Well, any self-respecting publisher needs a seasoned game developer and ours just happen to be Christian Sivertsen! A man of pure skill and self-taught 3D animator has done it all! Now with the power of Cockerel Games behind him, he is ready to create masterpieces day in and day out. When Christian is not creating the next golden idea on the computer, you might find him outside in the wild, where he digs for actual gold!
Content and promotional material is key they say, right? Then why not bring in an award-winning director to make sure our content is on point and crisp? Say hello to our creative director Simen Nyland! With a unique eye for details and planning, Simen brings our creations to a whole new level. Mix that in with absolutely NO “filther” and a wacky, but brilliant mind, and we can’t go wrong right? When Simen is not creating the next masterwork for the big screen, he spends his time owning kids in Fortnite and creating top tier TikTok content!
What else could this gang possibly need? Well, someone with experience at bringing products and creative ideas into completion! As project manager Kim-Erik “Zarotan” Aanes, gets to use all his experience, creativity and strenghts! Having started his first business at 17 and more than 20 years as a founder, he is ready for any challenge that might turn up! When he is not cooking up new ideas, he can be found cooking delicious meals in the kitchen or spending an unhealthy amount of time with games.
