Key Responsibilities:
Positioning and Messaging

• Lead the positioning and messaging for the title, from the core promise down to the line of copy on the store page. Everything the other channels say starts here, and you are the operational owner of the identity hook.
• Set the marketing strategy across the full lifecycle, from before announcement through early access and into live service, so each beat gives players a new reason to pay attention.
• Set the rules for what we can claim against competitors and keep the messaging honest about what the game does at each stage.

Audience and Insight

• Define the audience: core players, plus the wider audience from AGBO's film and television work.
• Turn research, playtests, and community signal into decisions about how the game is positioned and packaged. Say so plainly when the data contradicts the plan.

• Work directly with first-party platform partners to plan and execute launches.

Cross Functional Leadership

• Sit at the production table with the development studio and in its standups.
• Brief and manage creative agencies and outside partners and hold them to the bar on the assets that carry the campaign: the reveal trailer, key art, and the store page.
• Advise studio and company leadership, in writing short enough to act on.
• Own the product marketing budget, and account for what the spend returned.

• Hands on experience with BI/dashboard tools.
