CREATIVE DIRECTION • DESIGN • PRODUCTION

Your creative department.
Without the department.

Senior creative experience. Hands-on execution. One-on-one collaboration. Built to scale.

Let’s Get to Work
Independent by choice

One point of contact.
No layers.

Game6Media is the independent creative practice of New York-based, award-winning designer Steve Raia. For over a decade, Steve led creative departments focused on custom content at tech-centric media companies Ziff Davis Enterprise and United Business Media. He escaped the corporate madness and now works independently to focus on what he enjoys most: hands-on creative work.

He brings that leadership experience to every assignment—understanding the brief, working with stakeholders, and carrying the details through production. Agencies, publishers, and marketing teams work directly with Steve from the first conversation to the finished piece.

IN GOOD COMPANY

Take their word for it.

It makes me extremely happy to be able to recommend Steven, as it has been an absolute pleasure for our team to work with him on our whitepaper project designs. I have worked with Steven for approximately two years now, and he reliably provides tremendous work that our clients are consistently pleased with. So much so that providing examples to some, they note that they would like their projects to follow a similar design. Steven consistently turns projects around in a timely manner, sometimes even same day, which we greatly appreciate in our line of work as things can be unpredictable. Steven's level of work and dedication shines through and always gives our team confidence that we're in good hands with him. We trust Steven wholeheartedly with any project we ask him to undertake!
Jillian BlauveltMarketing Programs Team Lead at Questex
Steve headed up our creative operations at UBM Design Central where we produced 150-200 creative marketing, publishing, and events projects per month on average. He is very creative, can multi-task, and inspired our team of creative and marketing professionals to excel and produce award-winning, innovative work.
Gene FedeleCEO at Openbox Creative Solutions
I have known Steve Raia since 2001 when he was art director at Ziff Davis Media. We worked together on multiple levels. He was/is a remarkably talented art director/designer/creative director. His experience in the digital medium and print medium is unsurpassed.

From 2007-2017 I was the editor in chief of AMIT magazine. I hired Game6Media, Steve's company, to design and produce all aspects of the magazine. Once again Steve proved to be exceptional.

His creative input, professional manner and customer service is beyond measure. I could not have produced a magazine of such a caliber without Steve's abilities and professional acumen.
Robert SuttonEditor in Chief/Creative Director at Consultant
Steve is an excellent creative director and designer. He and I worked together previously at UBM where he led the creative services department. More recently, I hired him to work as creative lead for the Travel group at Questex on a temporary basis while my permanent employee was on maternity leave. I then asked him back a second time while she was on leave a second time. He's an excellent designer, leader and manager and any company would be lucky to have him.
Jennifer RosenGroup Marketing Director at Questex LLC
Steve is patient, intuitive, supremely talented, good-natured, flexible and a pure delight to have on a team.

His talent is closely seconded by his personality and desire to go the extra mile.

He's been my first choice of designer for over 20 years and will remain that way for as long as he'll have us as clients.
Christy LamagnaCEO and Master Strategist at Strategic Meetings and Events
Steve is and has been my go to for design work around my events. We have worked together during my time at multiple companies. He is professional, collaborative and always works with me on inevitable tight timelines and crazy turn arounds. He is extremely detail oriented and a pleasure to work with!
Julie M MuroffCOO at Blockworks
I have worked with Steve for over 15 years at three different companies. He understands, with very little coaching, what his clients need and want. He is on point, easy going, flexible and fast. He is an incredible asset to any and all teams.
Martha SchwartzChair and Chief Growth Officer at Activate
We have worked with Steve over several years on a range of projects.He is an outstanding designer and art director and well versed in all major creative software programs. He translates complex info into appealing designs and is a pleasure to work with.
Atif ToorCreative Director at Institute of International Education
Steve Raia is our go-to designer. Visually (warning: here comes a hockey metaphor), he puts the puck in the back of the net every time. And we greatly appreciate his professionalism, can-do attitude, work ethic, communication skills, and sense of humor.
Jack RosenbergerDirector of Content Strategy at Activate
Steve was my manager for 3 years at UBM where he proved to be a responsive and creative design professional. Steve has a knack for considering multiple factors in a situation, and formulating the best possible strategy for the project. I could always count on him to provide valuable insight and guidance that reflected a real world point of view, and through his leadership was able to grow both professionally and personally, and advance in many areas. Steve's character and integrity are above board and he comes highly recommended.
Mara CruzSenior Product Designer at Sprinklr
Steve is the guy who doesn't hold you back. His natural leadership skills help bring out the talent in yourself as well as the entire team. I've worked with Steve for 3+ years now and he has helped shaped my career & fostered my growth within the company. He believed in me, and what more could you ask from your manager? Thank you!
Peter CannizzaroCreative Director | Leading Global Content & Digital Experiences at Arrow Electronics & AspenCore
Steve is a creative professional, always full of ambitious ideas. He's also a solid team leader and proven mentor. I hope our professional paths cross again soon.
Michael SanchezVice President, Integrated Marketing
Steve is a top-notch creative director with a keen eye for graphic design across multiple media formats [print, digital, tablet, etc]. His work always combines the best artistic elements with an emphasis on readability. Steve was instrumental in bringing to fruition our re-design of CIO Insight in a way that communicated a fresh brand identity for the publication and added value for the readers.
Susan NunziataB2B Content Marketing Strategist & Editorial Consultant | Cybersecurity, Tech & Brand Marketing | Fractional Content Leader | Ghostwriter for C-Suite Executives
Steve was very good at managing multiple projects. He could take my goofy ideas and turn them into designs, illustrations and graphics with a professional look and feel.
Eric LundquistTechnology Analyst at Ziff Brothers Investments
Steve is one of the finest creative directors and department managers I have worked with over the course of my career. He has a sharp eye for what captures people's attentions in graphics, document design and presentations. And he has a keen ability to aptly manage people and projects.
Larry WalshCEO and Chief Analyst @ Channelnomics | Data Analytics, Strategic Partnerships
Steve Raia is a highly talented designer and an exceptionally capable manager and director. I've had the privilege of working with him and his team for six years. His own work is always aesthetically pleasing, clear, fresh, and interesting. And it's always delivered on or ahead of deadline. As an art director, he recruits brilliant designers (unerringly, I might add) who are always eager to contribute and motivated to deliver the best work, every time. Consulting and brainstorming with Steve on creative projects is an absolute joy. His work exceeds expectations consistently. Any creative team would be well-served with Steve as a colleague or manager.
Michael SteinhartSenior Editor at PwC
Over the 5+ years I worked with Steve, never once did he falter. A consummate professional, he managed an overwhelming number of often complicated or last minute requests with a calm, can-do attitude, came back regularly with ideas and solutions, and continuously turned out high-end work that made our marketing materials pop. Without a doubt, he would be an asset to any company.
