“The Marketing / UA team is responsible for the advertising activity strategy. Still, if it's not aligned and synced with the different departments, you miss the whole point.“

Why is your company so awesome?

Working at GSN games, each employee feels like their voice matters. Every person’s contribution is held in equal measure.
Being a very global company with offices worldwide gives you the opportunity to work with a variety of different, passionate and talented people.
And hi, it’s always great to work in a company that owns top-rated games.

How involved should game designers, analysts, data scientists and product managers be in the growth advertising activity?

At the end of the day, the marketing/ UA team is responsible for the advertising activity strategy. Still, if it’s not aligned and synced with the different departments, you miss the whole point. Eventually, it’s the same user who sees the UA ads, enjoys the game design, engages with the product, and is analyzed by the data teams – it’s one lifecycle.

Complex creatives or straight to the point?

For ROAS based campaigns, straight to the point works the best. Deliver your value as quickly as possible. However, when your KPIs are not necessarily ROAS, but more of branding or positioning, a complex approach can do a better job.
