Aaron Webber, longtime friend to the site and a legend among Sonic and SEGA fans, has had a long career with SEGA of America. Joining SEGA in 2008, Aaron worked as a Game Master for Phantasy Star Universe, an Assistant Community Manager and then as Associate Brand Manager before a brief departure from the company in 2014. Then, in 2015, Aaron returned to act as PR & Social Media Manager and then Senior Social Media Manager for the Sonic the Hedgehog brand. It was during this period that Sonic saw a social media EXPLOSION with national attention on how he and his team handled the brand’s social media accounts.
Now, Aaron has accepted a role with SEGA of Japan as Director of Strategy, Studio & Community Relations. While not much has been said of Aaron’s day to day responsibilities, he has said “besides Sonic, this means I get to support a lot of great SEGA teams – first up is PSO2 which just launched on Steam!”
We here at SEGAbits congratulate Aaron and wish him luck on his new role at SEGA’s Japan offices.

I add my compliments on his work and congratulate him on the promotion; as an old visitor of SEGAbits I remember him participating and speaking on the forum…
NO! BAD! THEY WILL MAKE SONIC INTO AN ENDLESS MEME FACTORY! NO!!!
Congrats Aaron. Hopefully Western PSO2 would be as succesful as Japan version.
If it isn’t already, NEW GENESIS will be. It won’t be because of him though.
Is that a secret hint on that paper there,
that they are making Sonic Adventure 3?
HA! I wish. But not as a meme. I don’t wan’t effin’ memes in my games. They put Sanic in Sonic Forces. WTF?
