• You'll be creating video ads, organic promotional content, and gameplay-driven marketing across paid social, app stores, and brand channels for multiple mobile games with very different visual styles
• This isn't a role where you make one type of ad for one type of game. One week you might be cutting a gritty, action-heavy promo for a zombie game.

• Create high-volume motion graphics and video ads for mobile game marketing campaigns across UA, organic, and social channels
• Produce gameplay-driven trailers, event promotions, App Store/Google Play creatives, and social media content
