Summary
Dan Long is a community-builder and host-producer with 13 years of experience helping game developers turn attention into lasting relationships through livestreams, podcasts, and creator-driven campaigns. As the face behind the IndieGameBusiness podcast and a Twitch partner with a 33,000+ follower channel, he specializes in building authentic systems—content plans, tone, feedback loops—that make brands feel alive rather than scheduled. His background spans animation, influencer marketing, and business development, giving him a rare mix of creative storytelling and relationship-driven growth. He’s launched creator partnerships, charity streams, and short-form ad studios to connect games with real audiences and measurable outcomes. Not obvious at first glance: his early animation and technical work (from CAD trusses to character animation) gives him a practical, hands-on perspective on product and production that informs how he nurtures communities. Based in the Medford–Grants Pass area, he consistently converts conversations into opportunities for developers, studios, and partners.
