  • A passion for video games with knowledge of mainstream games such as Call of Duty, EA FC, and more
  • Knowledge of TV and Movies
  • Awareness of big Twitch streamers, YouTubers and other content creators
  • Strong editorial judgment with the instinct to know what stories will resonate with our audience
