One of our key assets is a team with a vast knowledge of not only Sonic, but of pop culture and video games. The main focus of the team was to create content that the fans would find engaging and challenging. Coming up with an arrange of post types ranging from Sonic-ized version of current games being released on the market, a collection of Holiday-themed gifts created in the spitting image of Sonic and his team.
