This is your chance to join Playrix's Marketing Creatives team, one of the strongest not just in gaming, but in the entire performance marketing industry. We set trends, we don't chase them.

• You'll master the tools and processes our team uses, from traditional game engines to AI-powered tools.

• You'll brainstorm ideas and analyze market trends alongside the team.

• You'll create your own playable ads under the guidance of experienced colleagues, using the tools you've learned.

• You'll analyze the performance of launched creatives with the team and pitch ideas for new iterations.

What Comes After?

The best interns will get an offer to stay on the team full-time. This is a real chance to kick-start your career at Playrix.

Tasks

• Developing ideas for playable ads by exploring game mechanics, scenarios, and creative approaches that can engage the audience.

• Analyzing market trends and existing game creatives to identify new ideas and opportunities.

• Working with performance metrics to evaluate launched creatives and identify ways to improve them.

Requirements

• Experience in game development as a Game Designer, Level Designer, Creative Director, Creative Writer, or in a related role.

• A strong interest in game marketing, game design, and the gaming industry as a whole.

We offer

• A top-level team you can learn from every day — you'll advance your skills and become an expert who understands how the best creatives in the game industry are made.

• The opportunity to combine creative and engineering approaches — we know how to break down any creative into its components, and then methodically assemble the parts into a new one that will bring us hundreds of millions of dollars.
