Our global community engages with our content–spanning editorial, video, documentary and live – we reach 1 billion people each and every month. Our mission is to give the youth generation a voice by building communities that laugh, think and act. Using all major platforms, we’ve rapidly risen to become one of the world's largest publishers.
About the Role
As our new Journalist, you will work closely with the wider LADbible Group editorial team as part of GAMINGbible. You will be utilising creative skills to enhance GAMINGbible’s brand image whilst continuously developing and improving the quality of articles by reviewing and responding to audience feedback.
Using awareness of current news, trends and viral content to produce quality articles at speed to both engage and maximise audience potential, you’ll be an expert in video game coverage and nerd culture.
If you can't stop thinking about the release of GTA 6 or have burning opinions on the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we want to hear from you. We appreciate everyone has a preferred platform or gaming brand, but you must be well-versed in the industry as a whole and able to tap into the community of any given game.
Finding and pursuing time-relevant content, specialising on stories from the world of video games, and writing around these to involve the reader and maintain a strong online presence is essentially what this role is all about! You’ll also be supporting other teams in delivering content and executing new projects where needed.
