• Research industry trends to test various content strategies.

What You’ll Learn:

• Hands-on experience in social media marketing for the gaming industry.
• Video production skills with tools like CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
• Strategies to engage and grow an audience in the fast-paced world of digital gaming.
• Real-world experience working on campaigns that directly impact a live player community.
• Mentorship from a former product manager at FAANG companies, offering guidance on landing full-time roles in tech and gaming.

Qualifications:

• Proficiency in video editing software (CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve).
• Basic understanding of video production (composition, lighting, audio).
• Creative mindset with the ability to turn ideas into engaging, shareable videos.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative, remote environment.
• Bonus Points: Experience running your own TikTok account, a love of gaming, or previous experience working with VR content.
