About
My name is Eric Seufert, and I am the Head of Marketing and User Acquisition at Grey Area Labs, a mobile gaming start-up based in Helsinki, Finland. Prior to Grey Area, I led the analytics team at Digital Chocolate in Helsinki, and prior to that, I was the product manager of the quality analytics platform at Skype in Tallinn, Estonia. I have an MA in Economics from University College London and a BBA in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin.
Ufert.se (my last name in pig latin) is a platform for me to share information I find useful about mobile marketing, user acquisition, and growth engineering. All views expressed in this blog are strictly my own and do not necessarily represent the views of my employer.
