At Jamango!, I began my role as a Creator Growth Intern. My role entailed:

• Reached out to potential creators to become part of our Discord community with concise messaging

• Assessed prospects based on their work within other UGC (User-Generated Content -- Roblox, Fortnite Creative, Scratch etc.) communities on various platforms including Discord and Reddit

• Provided technical support to members of the community

• Grew the Discord community by more than 100 members per month alongside the rest of the Creator Growth team

​

After 3 months, I was promoted to the Marketing Content Coordinator where I:​

• Recorded and edited short form video content for distribution on TikTok and YouTube platforms
• Scripted and concepted with Notion
• Storyboarding with Excalidraw
• Designed setpieces for use within the videos
• Performed voice over work on all videos
• Edited and compiled clips into short 7 - 15 seconds videos with Davinci Resolve
• Created educational and entertainment videos that were posted on a regular basis
• Adapted video structure based upon trend analysis
• Chose appropriate hashtags to appear on relevant audiences' devices
• Used copywriting to post community announcements in the Discord community
• Organised community events to increase engagement
• Used Photoshop​ to create accompanying high-quality assets
• Worked alongside the Marketing Lead and Founder to create and adapt our content strategies

​

Towards the end of my tenure at Jamango! I took on responsibilities akin to a game designer role:

• Concepted and pitched multiple game ideas inspired by the UGC ecosystem

  • In particular, we investigated areas that browser games were not serving to a high-standard and where we could fill the gap​

• Used Excalidraw to break down all possible games

• Utilised the MDA Framework to produce fun experiences

​

Working on Jamango! was different to anything else I'd done in the past. I connected really well with the mission the company was trying to accomplish: making game design more accessible to a wider audience. It was a huge leap into a different side of the industry. Coming from a perspective of leading production of a small team to being the cog of a larger team was a fantastic and eye-opening shift. Firstly, the team at Jamango! utilised a sprint workflow, which I resonated with greatly. I worked directly with the founders and the marketing lead to produce high-quality videos that continued to push me to develop my skills when it came to video editing but also taught me how to talk to leadership confidently and openly.

​

The community of Jamango! was electric and it's something I look back on fondly. Acknowledging and working directly with community members, usually of a younger demographic, taught me a lot about how to present myself to players. It opened my eyes to how players really act, especially in relation to a project that was still closed off to the general public.

​

Jamango! taught me many things and I'm immensely glad I was able to make an influence on a evergrowing and flourishing community with such a passionate team.
