About Dr Ben Schuster

Veterinarian turned game marketer is a pretty normal career path, right?Well, at least I thought so.My journey from veterinary practice to marketing has been unconventional, but it has allowed me to develop a unique perspective and skill set you're not likely to come across often. If ever.For over a decade, I've been immersed in digital content creation, recognising its potential for community engagement and growth. My focus now lies in social media and community management, an aspect of marketing too often overlooked. I've built a strong social media presence with over 50,000 followers, sharing creative content and engaging with a passionate online community dedicated to pop culture and videogames.Creative content is a significant part of my life. I've contributed to multiple online publications and founded my own website, where a team of authors and I share articles and reviews. Beyond work, I enjoy photography, running, playing instruments, and participating in the film and video game industries through promotional events and social media.If you're in any of these industries and would like to connect or share ideas over coffee (or beer!), I'd love to hear from you!
