Regional Marketing, Korea

Regional Marketing, Korea

Per Supercell's mission statement, “to create games for as many people as possible that are played for years and remembered forever,” we want to create games that people play and remember for years. Every day, an astounding (and growing) number of players play Supercell's games: Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans, Hay Day, Squad Busters, Boom Beach, & Clash Royale, and marketing’s role is to ensure we continue to engage and enrich our current players and encourage new players to join in on this journey.

To make these Six games, we've killed dozens along the way. That's because we're obsessed with quality. Our goal, as stated above, is to make the best games that are played by millions, enjoyed for years, and remembered forever. With the spirit of ONE global marketing team, we reach our players across the globe with engaging experiences of our games, delivering marketing initiatives that transcend the digital platform. Such an approach requires everyone on a team to play multiple roles, and Marketers at Supercell are not an exception.

Our APAC regional marketing in Seoul is looking for a Regional Marketer who will drive brand and product marketing in the APAC region, specifically for the gaming market in Korea.

About the Role

You will play a core role in the team that 1) develops and executes the marketing campaign of our live games (Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Hayday, Squad Busters and Brawl Stars); 2) prepare for new game launch(es), and provide insights on in-game content, game services, live ops, and industry trends to support the aforementioned.

You are expected to dive deep into our current live games (Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Hay Day, Squad Busters and Brawl Stars) and be involved with both the planning and execution of marketing campaigns. In doing so, you are expected to take ownership of communication with our internal teams (game developers/designers/artists, data analysts, product/brand/ performance marketers, community managers, marketing artists, etc.) and with our external partners.

Plus, we have several ambitious new projects under development with the aim to be “genre-defining” games. To achieve this goal, you are expected to play a critical role in bringing regional market and player insights to the teams. You are expected to develop and deliver innovative and trendsetting marketing campaigns and strategies that befit the genre-defining nature of the games under development.

• Experiment and take controlled risks to enhance further and build brand equity and awareness in Korea and APAC.
• Continue to push to find the right balance of existing traditional marketing channels vs. up-and-coming media, content, and trends.

• Willingness to take risks and drive innovation with the right combination of logic and intuition-based thinking.
• Understanding of social media platforms and content such as YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter; short-form videos, stills, etc. would be a plus
• Outstanding verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills in English are a must.
• Must be able to travel to Europe, U.S., China, or Japan multiple times a year.
