You’ll play a key role in driving growth, brand awareness, and customer acquisition, while also building and leading a team of marketers over time. As such, we offer compensation in the form of stock options (negotiable).

    • Organize online events, beta tester challenges, and community feedback initiatives.
  4. Content and Social Media Marketing
    • Oversee the creation of engaging content, including blog posts, social media campaigns, email newsletters, and videos.
    • Drive consistent growth and engagement across platforms like Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
  5. Data-Driven Marketing
    • Analyze marketing metrics (CAC, LTV, conversion rates) to optimize campaigns and maximize ROI.
    • Use A/B testing and data analysis to refine strategies and improve performance.
  6. Strategic Partnerships
    • Identify and secure partnerships with influencers, streamers, and gaming/content platforms to boost visibility and credibility.
