Brand ManagerGlobal brands, marketing budgets, teamwork, and events organization are all just part of the duties of a brand manager. More than just any single product, brand is an all encompassing effort that requires working globally and collectively. From a PAX or E3 stage shows and press interviews or two year life cycle meetings, I push for new, different, better and interesting for Konami, fans and the IP. For example, working with global cross functional teams, I drafted, budgeted and executed a brand directive bringing top tier YouTube content creators from across the YouTube gaming space representing the US, Germany, Japan and Hong Kong, to attend the LA YouTube studios for a series of on site video shoots and live streams and got to work with some very talented and fun people.Social Media & Community ManagerMy first promotion within a year of being hired at Konami was to operate the corporate and brand social media channels for English speaking Konami and brand sites. All of the channels show steady organic growth and conversion rates, but truly serve as a much more valuable touch point for us to learn from and listen to our fans and detractors. As an extension of this job, I get to work with some incredible content creators and communities from all over the world. I also created the fan driven KCODE streamer team at www.twitch.tv/team/kcode to provide a unique jump start for passionate streamers within the Twitch ecosystem to work with a major brand like Konami. We have seen multiple Twitch partners emerge since it was founded.Online Products Manager Initially brought to Konami for my Project Management skills, I was tasked with organizing and executing websites and back end architecture projects. Ranging from brand sites, events like E3 and even an SSID system called Konami Code that was designed to unify Konami ID. Working with teams of talented creatives and devs, we brought these campaigns to life, sometimes under crazy deadlines.
