Business Growth Operations Senior Manager

About The Team

Marketing Art is one significant competitive advantage inside Wildlife Distribution. We make games grow by optimising their IPM. We do this by attracting a larger audience to our games through the creatives displayed in marketing campaigns. Those creatives (videos 3D, 2D, and mini-games) are the first point of contact of millions of users with our games.

To find great creatives, we developed an outstanding process that combines creativity and tons of data analysis that brings learnings from past creatives, benchmarks, and market trends. To guarantee that we are continually generating new creatives with a major impact on our game’s growth, we produce creatives on an industrial scale.
