Marketing graduate BSc Marketing Social Media

A great opportunity for an enthusiastic Marketing Executive (junior) to work on a fast-growing (and slightly bonkers) mobile free-to-play Trading Card Game: Cards, the Universe and Everything (CUE Cards for short).

If you’ve ever wondered who would win if Einstein and a T-Rex took on Odysseus and a Burrito (and who hasn’t?), this could be the job for you. CUE has become a success in spite of a low-key profile. Which is why we’re looking for someone ambitious and enthusiastic to take that profile on and send it soaring.

Please note, we do expect a covering letter and CV.

It’s an ideal role for newly qualified marketing graduates looking to get into the gaming industry. We’re seeking a smart individual who is looking for a hands-on role where they can develop their skills in all aspects of marketing and PR. You’ll work as part of a collaborative team that is passionate about video games and your role will involve supporting marketing across a number of key deliverables, including social media, content marketing, publicity, reporting and anything that helps our business to achieve its goals.

Key Responsibilities:

What you’ll do

Create compelling, engaging content by making great stuff and engaging with people.
Help manage social media campaigns with an aim to drive growth
Help to us achieve success with PR ideas and campaigns
Help grow the CUE social accounts.
Foster and promote community-generated content.
Help set a tone, look and feel for our social activity that aligns with the game’s enthusiasm, humour and design.
Collaborate across the team to ensure that community feedback is addressed.
Help create and coordinate assets such as game videos, podcasts, developer interviews, product updates, etc, in conjunction with live ops and marketing teams.
Assist with community research and occasional reports on the status of the community.

Who you are

A graduate or assistant level marketer or PR role
A love for what you do, and for what we are doing with CUE
A good University Degree - or similar indicator of effort and application
An excellent writer with excellent communication skills – written and verbal
Bucketloads of curiosity
Someone with an understanding of social media and how to best leverage channels for success
An attention to detail
Passionate about marketing and capable of generating press releases, blog entries, feature articles, case studies, creative ideas and more
Time management whizz, able to work on multiple activities
A passion for games and, in-time, a passion for ours
A can do attitude

Nice to haves

Basic graphic/illustration and video editing skills
An interest in CCGs, TCGs or other mobile card games
Interviewing and/or filming experience

Perks

Work From Home - We trust each other to get the work done. This means a high degree of flexibility and autonomy for the whole team. We’re all in contact throughout the day though - you won’t feel isolated.
Competitive salary, and 22 days holiday (plus public holidays). Plus an extra day for each year worked.
Personal Macbook
'Perks at Work' money off at multiple High Street retailers and trips to the cinema
Quarterly ‘away days’. From retro arcades/VR experiences to zorbing/segways (travel costs are covered).
Room to grow.
We’re a small team with a big opportunity. Over time you might want to be more involved in other aspects of the business… you will evolve this role, and we will support that.

About Avid Games

Avid Games has been producing digital trading card games for 8 years, working with major brands such as NFL, Discovery Channel, and F1. In late 2019 however, we created something that’s entirely our own, and it is doing rather well.

In Cards, the Universe and Everything players collect, trade and do battle with an expanding universe of cards (3,000 and counting), covering every topic under the sun. And plenty of things over the sun too. And the sun itself.
