In this episode, we’re joined by Aimee Baller, Head of Partnerships, West & Central at Overwolf—the engine behind the gaming creator ecosystem that’s reshaping how brands connect with modern audiences.

Aimee reflects on her path into gaming as the first female leader on Overwolf’s Brand Partnerships team, exploring the power of in-game advertising, why brands can’t ignore gaming culture, and how Gen Z is rewriting the rules of media. She also offers thoughtful insights on mentorship, leadership, and creating space for other women in male-dominated industries.
