Twofivesix is a strategic consultancy firm that helps brands reach gamers and own gaming as a channel. We’ve developed an unbeatable approach by creating a unique audience and content offering combined with a deep expertise.
At Twofivesix, technical writers are responsible for writing about marketing through gaming channels, emerging tech in the gaming industry, conducting research, and collaborating with editors to ensure you produce high-quality content that meets the needs of our clients and partners.
What you’ll do
This is a contract position and assignment load can vary month to month. You’ll report to the Content Marketing Manager who will provide edits, feedback, and revisions if needed.
You will write articles for Twofivesix’s Insights. Insights is our content marketing program that discusses the latest in gaming trends. We also provide analysis on different marketing strategies we see from brands who are trying to market on gaming channels.
Articles are published on a bimonthly schedule and are typically close to 1,000 words. An interest in gaming is always a plus but we are looking for a great B2B writer who conducts factual and accurate research first.
