• Keep track of the latest social media trends and present opportunities for Warfame’s engagement strategy 
• Work closely with our marketing and development teams to become an expert on our games and brand voice and tone
• Transform and organize huge, constantly changing feature lists into captivating, cohesive, and concise marketing copy that captures the spirit and narrative of its source material
• Work directly with advertising team to deliver copy and concepts that successfully cut through the noise 
• Curate community-generated content that every player needs to see, from awe-inspiring fan art to must-watch videos

REQUIREMENTS
