Hey
#VisibleWomen
! I'm Danni ✨
I've been marketing and translating board games for the past decade, all while trying to give back to the community who has supported me for so long - through mentorship,
@UnboxedSpaces
, and more.
Since we're approaching in-person events, let me remind you:
- do not schedule business meetings and then bait-n-switch them into dates
- do not ask for my business card and then text me after hours
- do not assume you can hug or touch me, even if you see me hugging other people
Here’s the big reveal…!!!
I’m so excited to be joining the
@HachetteGames
team as North American Marketing Manager handling all English strategies - starting April 25.
You’ll find me on social media, at conventions, and collaborating with press 🎉
Yo Twitter fam,
@DannyPlaysGamez
’s account is suspended for some reason?? His last few tweets were nothing but wholesome.
@TwitterSupport
please look into this! There is no reason for the suspension.
We are excited to announce Danni Loe as our Marketing Manager! 🦖 She will be responsible for promoting new releases and the current Pandasaurus catalog, growing relationships with customers and media, and creating engaging event experiences.
I have been serially harassed across multiple platforms, across multiple companies by the man mentioned in this video.
Rodney gives excellent advice: “Block!”
This is your updated PSA on David Leavitt, his latest nonsense, and how you can avoid falling for it. Yes, he recently made a bunch of reckless claims about me, but I'm fine. Perhaps we can help make sure others don't fall for it.
I raised my freelance rates today and it was scary, but it went well! I love the companies I'm able to work with. They were immediately like "of course, it's normal! you do great work!"
brb crying with happiness 😭🥰
Another day of tears before I've even had my morning coffee.
We're trying our best with reduced staff, in the middle of a global shipping crisis (and panini), fixing problems caused by other people.
Please be kind and patient.
This popped up on my memories from 6 years ago! My first cross-stitching project.
😍😍😍 Stares at this map that took me one year to sew.
👀👀👀 Avoids looking at the unfinished sequel that's been in my closet for many, many years.
I’ve finally graduated therapy! 🎓
After 8 months of regular sessions, I’m officially equipped with tools to communicate boundaries and heal from past unhealthy work environments.
I will always be a lil anxious duder, but at least I know how not to exacerbate those feelings.
Hi, I’m Danni! I’ve been a marketing professional in the
#boardgames
world for the past 8 years.
I try to create genuine interest by expressing genuine emotion in my marketing.
Here are some of the games I’ve worked on!
Hey
#VisibleWomen
! I'm Danni, (soon to be) 28yo Marketing Manager for
@Pandasaurusgame
🐼🦖, working in board games for 7 years.
I love fostering meaningful connections with others through the joy of games ✨
I also translate game rulebooks. Gotta use my French degree somehow!
While at PAXU, I snuck away from the convention center during lunch to have
@littlemeeples
take headshots for me 📸
Highly, highly recommend James' services to all my industry peers! Look what a badass I look like!
To be clear, I’m grateful for everyone who signed up for Origins TV and put their trust in the team to pull off something great. I’m sorry I couldn’t hang in longer to support you all, but know I stand with you in solidarity.
It's officially announced! This is my second week as the Hobby Product Marketing Manager at
@flatrivergames
.
I'm full of ideas and have already hit the ground running. Excited to meet the full team at Gen Con next week!
I’m feeling a little spicy about this TTS auto-translate update.
Get ready for a thread, from someone who is paid to translate board game rulebooks/collateral~ 🧵
I've got a ton on my to-do list, so I'm going to tackle them together with you all as a way to keep myself focused and accountable.
Follow along with my work-day as a marketing manager for a board game publisher! 🧵
All of the J names mentioned in this article have also abused me. All of them.
Believe women, even if all they tell you is that they’re uncomfortable with someone’s presence.
I translated the new version of 7 Wonders! So excited to play this new updated version of one of my favorite games. Having seen the new components, the graphic design is edgier and cleaner and I’m in love with it. Plus the rulebook is reformatted to be friendlier 🤩
Just tested Covid positive. To everyone I saw at Gen Con, please test.
Symptoms started manifesting on Tuesday (headache, cough, fever) and hit me hard yesterday. Feeling a bit better today.
My at-home test came up negative on Tuesday, but a pharmacy visit just confirmed.
Just saw that my name is added to the credits for the new version of 7 Wonders and it honestly made me really emotional. It's nice to be recognized for my work!
Quick lesson for interacting with women online!
If you have never interacted with them before, and they are posting something work-related, please only comment on the work thing and NOT their appearance.
Feels yucky!!!! 🙃🙃🙃
Someone pointed out how I’ve been chatty on here lately, and it’s like
woah, surprising what happens when I’m not overcome by stress and anxiety anymore and can respond to all my physical and mental needs!!
🤯🤯🤯
Happy Panda-versary to me!!
I love this team - both the people and the games we create together. Here's to many more years together!
So proud of all the successful projects we've kicked off the past year.

We are so excited to announce
@TheOneTAR
has joined the Hachette team as US Sales Manager! 🎉
The extensive experience they bring to the table has already seen an increase in retailer outreach, support, and communications 💪
Welcome to the team, T! 🙌
@WatchItPlayed
Thank you for this, Rodney. Over the past three months, I was also harassed - at length - by DL. And this was not the first time either.
I’ve begun reading every night, bundled up in bed until I get sleepy.
It’s been so nice to revisit and enjoy activities that I have been “too busy” for.
This is The Poppy War by
@kuangrf
. I’ve only just begun, but I’m rooting for Rin!
This is not an isolated incident, either. I see this on the social accounts I manage, or on BGG threads, or in KS comments.
The amount of entitlement and lack of empathy in this industry is astounding sometimes.
I'm adding new additions to my media sheet right now and noticed a trend that I want to highlight.
If it's your first time requesting free review copies from a publisher, it's probably not the best look to request literally *one of everything* from the catalog.
Y’ALL. Keep an eye out for KP’s photoshoot opportunities at future conventions.
He is the best 🥹 I told him I was camera shy, and he immediately put me at ease.
It was so tough picking the final photos, because they were all SO GOOD!! 😭

Danni published her 10th episode for the podcast she Co-hosts
@unboxedspaces
where they break down common conundrums & strategies within the BG industry.
And recently completed her 100th FR->EN translating project!
#ttrpg
I made this booth!!! So proud of the beautiful graphics our team designed, the social-distancing solutions we implemented, and the amazingly hard work of our demo team!
CW: body dysmorphia, weight
Pants tend to be bad for my mental health, because they remind me very clearly how my body has changed during the pandemic. But fuck it! Felt cute today, body dysmorphie be damned.
Celebrating Halloween early and already getting weird looks.
But whatever, those little caterpillars are just jealous they haven’t emerged from their cocoons yet! 🦋
Applications are open for a Convention Coordinator at
@Pandasaurusgame
. This position will be working directly with me to make sure our convention presence is amazing - in person and online!

Just got tested at CVS because the amount of people not wearing masks properly or *actually testing positive* while at the show is too damn high.
I’m negative and it’s a weight off my shoulders!
Excited to reveal my personal website!!
It started as a central place to keep my media appearances, and grew into a whole little portfolio. I've done some pretty cool stuff, if I do say so myself!
☀️ ☀️
Happy
#InternationalComingOutDay
! I’ve known I was bi since middle school, when my friend Anna kissed my cheek and then I kept finding reasons for her to do it again.
Thank you thank you for all your kindness yesterday 💖
I was an emotional wreck most of the day but checking in periodically to see all the cuteness you shared really made it more manageable.
Today is a better day!
Today was one of those rare days when Imposter Syndrome straight up leaves my brain alone.
I have accomplished impressive tasks, I have made an impact, and I am fulfilled.
And there is so much more to come!
Who’s ready for some cozy game time?? 🤩
Just need one last frame for our Quacks poster and to swap out the outlets by the table, but the gaming nook is done!
Wow, I was so anxious about how backers would respond to our latest KS update that I had heart palpitations and cold sweats.
Now I'm feeling overwhelmed (in a good way) because everyone's responses have been SO KIND & UNDERSTANDING.
I wish every update could be like this!!
