Summary Of Position

As a key member of the Market Intelligence team, this role supports the development and leads execution of data-driven marketing strategies aimed at increasing acquisition and engagement of Asian American gamers. This role bridges data-driven consumer insights with actionable marketing execution, ensuring campaigns effectively resonate with Asian American gamers and align with broader business objectives.

This individual will identify Asian American market opportunities, analyze consumer behavior, evaluate campaign effectiveness, lead go-to-market campaign planning and execution, partner with agencies, and cross-functionally with marketing, product, content, and leadership teams to shape strategic initiatives.

We are currently working in the office 2-3x a week in a hybrid work model.

Job Responsibilities

• Asian American Understanding & Strategy Development:


• Build a specialized roadmap of the platforms and social ecosystems unique to Asian American gamers (e.g., specialized Discord servers, platform-specific sub-communities, or culturally specific apps).


• Execute \"test-and-learn\" media strategies to identify which specific platforms and messaging styles yield the highest acquisition for Asian American gamers compared to general market channels.


• Direct and challenge agency partners to move beyond \"standard\" media strategies, instead uncovering high-impact, niche opportunities for deep cultural resonance among Asian American gamers.


• Convert campaign data and \"trial-and-error\" learnings into go-to-market frameworks that define exactly how, where, and when to reach Asian American gamers most effectively


• Campaign Execution & Performance Optimization:


• Lead the execution of social and digital campaigns, using A/B testing to determine which creative hooks and cultural nuances drive the strongest engagement among Asian American gamers.


• Monitor KPIs across social, community, and paid media channels to \"course-correct\" in real-time, refining the team’s ability to find and convert the Asian American gamer.


• Evaluate campaign success by isolating channel and creative effectiveness, documenting specific \"wins\" in Asian American gamer-specific spaces that can be repeated for future launches.


• Analyze dashboards to communicate performance trends and learnings about Asian American gamer media consumption to leadership.


• Cross-Functional Collaboration:


• Serve as the strategic bridge for agencies and internal teams, ensuring that the way we talk to the Asian American gamers is authentic and avoids \"one-size-fits-all\" marketing.


• Provide learnings and insights on Asian American gamer-specific media trends and platform shifts to ensure brand relevance.


• Present findings that demonstrate the unique ROI of specialized Asian American gamer targeting, justifying the team's distinct focus through acquisition data.

Work Experience
