Her company AHEAD OF THE GAME is a pioneer of Alternate Reality Games (ARG) in Europe. In ARGs, the participants explore multiple levels of a narrative through websites, video and audio clips, emails, blogs, sms, posters, TV, radio, live events, etc. “An ARG is part theatre, part cinema, part the 'The Game', part conspiracy theory, part online chat and part old-fashioned story telling.” (A. Losowky)

AHEAD OF THE GAME develops games for brand promotion, education and human resources.

Claudia will be the moderator at the Virtueel Platform's Hot100 debate.
