Episode 302: Ori Kagan, Kagan Productions

Published on: 9th July, 2024

Ori Kagan leads Kagan Productions, a renowned agency that specializes in producing high-quality animated trailers for board games. With a career marked by aiding campaigns that have collectively raised over $19 million in crowdfunding, Ori is dedicated to collaborating with both established publishers and ambitious first-time creators.

As a former daydreaming kid who once directed Star Wars fan films in the backyard, Ori's journey evolved from dreaming of directing blockbuster movies to merging filmmaking with his passion for board games. This unique niche allows him to work and play in the fantastic worlds he once only dreamed about, working on videos for IPs like Skyrim, D&D and Dune.

In addition to his work at Kagan Productions, Ori has also founded Kagan Duckademy, a specialized program designed to empower board game publishers with advanced marketing strategies. Known for helping publishers level up their marketing to reach crowdfunding success, Kagan Duckademy offers tailored workshops and consultations that guide creators through the complexities of launching successful campaigns on platforms like Kickstarter and Gamefound. Today, Ori and his team not only create visually striking trailers but also provide comprehensive marketing strategies that empower game creators to launch successful campaigns.
