Game Production Consulting & Career Coaching
Level Up Strategies helps game studios build smarter, smoother, and more sustainable production systems.
Founded by veteran Lead Producer Rhonda Cox (Epic Games, Riot Games, Blizzard Entertainment, Sony Santa Monica, Respawn Entertainment, Activision), Level Up Strategies offers hands-on production consulting for game teams of all sizes, from early-stage indie studios to established AAA developers.
We specialize in helping teams:
Streamline delivery pipelines and milestone planning
Improve cross-discipline collaboration and shared resource management
Automate milestone tracking and reporting workflows
Balance creativity and structure to foster innovation without chaos
Strengthen production leadership through mentorship and scalable systems
Our approach is rooted in 20 years of real-world production experience on some of the industry’s most ambitious titles, including LEGO Fortnite, VALORANT, Star Wars JEDI Fallen Order, World of Warcraft, and God of War Ragnarok.
Whether your studio is juggling multiple projects, struggling to maintain production clarity, or scaling fast, Level Up Strategies builds the frameworks and habits that help teams deliver predictably without burning out creativity.
Recent Projects:
Partnered with WATT Studio to support two in-development titles (Tsarevna and GRIMPS), aligning cross-team pipelines, stabilizing milestone delivery, and creating rituals that balance structure and creative exploration.
If your team needs short or long-term consulting, process audits for workflows and pipelines,
or mentorships to help production run smoother, let’s talk.
About Rhonda Cox
With over 20 years in the video game industry, and 13 years as a producer, I’ve led multiple cross‑disciplinary teams to ship more than 10+ titles across iconic franchises like Star Wars, VALORANT, God of War, LEGO Fortnite and World of Warcraft. My leadership blends deep production expertise with a keen understanding of agile development, live‑service pipelines and creative vision. I’ve built and mentored teams from pre‑production through post‑launch, helping studios streamline workflows and rescue troubled projects. Today, through Level Up Strategies, I channel that experience into consulting and career coaching for game developers at every stage, helping them “level up” their careers and their games.
