Partner closely with internal cross-functional teams (Product Development, PR, Franchise, Legal and more) to leverage their expertise throughout all stages of campaign production
Required Qualifications and Skills:
4+ years of experience in Marketing, combined with 2+ years of working in gaming industry strongly preferred
Demonstrated success in product voice management and social/community strategy, having shipped multiple games
