ABOUT OUR GAME

Tectonicus: On The Edge Of War synthesizes mechanics of turn-based strategies, auto-battlers, and card games. To succeed, you are to use strategic thinking when placing heroes, commanders, and units on the board, as well as building synergistic decks that emphasize each faction’s unique strengths. Apart from online and local PvE battles, Tectonicus will be featuring a full-scale story mode. The player will be called to restore the historical truth lost in contradicting accounts and theories, rewritten history, and scholars’ disputes by reincarnating significant battles and living through them as warlords, across centuries.

ABOUT YOUR DEPARTMENT

You will be joining the Business Department, which is responsible for overseeing and executing all the commercial and organizational tasks in our startup. These can range from everything to acquiring funding, planning the G-2-M-strategy for our game, collaborating with external business partners, setting up user studies, and SoMe campaigns, etc. You will have a say in developing, picking, and choosing tasks from the Trello board. You can prioritize what aligns with your strengths and interests. We encourage you to challenge yourself and take on tasks that may be outside of your comfort zone.

ABOUT THE JOB

We need 2-3 new team members who can plan and execute our promotional campaigns, which include SoMe campaigns, physical promotional campaigns, and collaboration with content creators, etc. We also need team members who can oversee our e-commerce activities, as our game is planned to be a digital release. We are also beginning to collaborate with external events and festivals, so team members who can oversee that as well are welcome.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Depending on your profile, whether you are a SoMe specialist or a more general marketing strategist, your tasks can involve

• Setting up a timeline for regular SoMe posts and other digital promotional content, and then executing it.
• Create content for our social media that can increase awareness of our company and video game.
• Be present at a physical event and take pictures that can be used for promotional material.
• Plan strategies for our marketing and help execute them.
• Scout content creators that our company can collaborate with, and make contact with them through “cold calling”. You will then have to act as a liaison between them and our company.
• Manage our store websites and ensure that customers can easily access our most recent demo builds for our game.
• Stay aware of external physical events and venues where we can show our game off.

ABOUT YOU

You have either graduated from or are currently studying in a commercially oriented education program and have a solid understanding of how to plan out a marketing strategy and/or social media campaigns. You are a hustler by heart and understand how to take advantage of opportunities for showing off our game or company in a way that will resonate with our target audience. You are also a team player who is able to collaborate across fields of expertise and pitch in with your own knowledge. Our team consists of game developers, designers, creatives, business developers, and historians. It is also an advantage if you have the will to put yourself forward and help with collaborative projects like applying for funding and setting up events to show our game off. As we are a so-called indie developer making a video game, it is an advantage if you have knowledge or an interest in these types of products.

SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS

• You are either studying for a bachelor's or master's degree, or similar, with a focus on business, marketing, and/or e-commerce. Alternatively, you have existing experience with social media campaigns
• You can communicate effectively in English, as that is our company language
• You are comfortable using social media platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, etc.
• You understand the digital customer journey and can help design the funnel for online users.
• We don’t expect you to have experience from the video game industry, but a basic knowledge of video games as a product is a plus.
