Games-Career.com: Since when have you been working with GAMEVIL COM2US and how can your position be described?

Concretely, the M&C manager is the conductor of the PR, media and events plans.
Games-Career.com: How and what were your first week’s experiences at GAMEVIL COM2US?
Ludovic: I’ve arrived at the perfect moment when the team was less busy than usual, which gave me plenty of time to know the people with whom I will collaborate and to follow all the processes to be quickly efficient. It was also the best time to discuss plans for the upcoming year with the Head of Marketing, Chinh.
Games-Career.com: How have you been supported with onboarding at GAMEVIL COM2US?
Ludovic: From my perspective, two things are very important when you’ve just joined a company: the way people integrate newcomers and goal’s clarity from your management.
So I couldn’t be in a better position as I was welcomed the best possible way by everyone and after only a month in the company I already have the feeling I’ve been a member of the team for months, and I know exactly what are the challenges I need to address.
Games-Career.com: What do you particularly like about your new position?
Ludovic: The people: I have never seen people more passionate about company’s games. This is very beneficial in many aspects: the people in the company are the same people who are playing the games, which means plans we are building will always talk to our audience. Last but not least, it creates a very positive atmosphere where people are sharing their own experience and their best practices with others.
Games-Career.com: How did you get to your current position and which career steps have you taken so far?

Therefore, it made total sense to me to focus my search for an internship at this time on video game companies. That’s how I was considered for a training at Ubisoft in the customer service and then in the Direct Marketing EU department. After my studies and until I joined GAMEVIL COM2US, I have worked for very exciting companies such as Sony (PlayStation), Nintendo, Activision and Blizzard.
