Hi, I’m James Leedham, founder of 16-Bit Consulting.

After 8 years, most recently as the sole Commercial Lead for KONAMI’s EMEA video games division, I set up this consultancy to work more directly with the teams making and selling games.

 At KONAMI, I managed revenue, profit, and business development across the region, negotiated directly with first parties and distributors, and partnered with the European publishing team to evaluate the commercial potential of new projects.

I’ve built publishing strategies, overseen retail and digital launches, managed lifecycle planning, pricing, and market insight. Now I bring that experience to developers, publishers, and games businesses who want practical, no-nonsense support.

No buzzwords. No filler. Just advice that helps your game or business sell better and earn more.
