As the Marketing Manager for events, I handled key tasks that helped One Player Mission shine. I took charge of negotiating prime event spaces and sponsorships at major gaming events such as Develop:Brighton. I also put my creative hat on, designing stand artwork that caught eyes and turned heads.
But it wasn't just about design - I was on the ground, chatting it up at the stand, making connections with industry folks and job seekers. Events were about boosting OPM’s reputation, and I'm proud to say we made some real waves within the industry.
IRL 2023 London, UK
Games Industry ‘in real-life’ Party
At IRL 2023, we sponsored a vibrant 'in real life' games industry event. Our contribution included setting up a gaming area - featuring our self-branded retro gaming tables. Giving attendees somewhere to enjoy themselves with a drink, and us a brilliant opportunity to network.
We also partnered with MCV/Develop for the 2023 30 Under 30; recognising top talents in the UK games scene under the age of 30. The awards ceremony for this initiative took place on that night and OPM’s MD played a role in presenting awards. Our logo was prominently displayed in many areas at the event. It was a successful collaboration that added value to the event and increased brand awareness.
MCV/Develop Awards London, UK
Games Industry Awards Ceremony
The MCV/Develop Awards is a prestigious games industry event in London celebrating the cream of the crop in UK gaming. In 2023 we sponsored an award for the evening, which meant our logo was showcased all over the digital content and event branding. As well as having a printed advert in the awards programme, OPM’s MD had the honor of presenting an award on stage.
The cherry on top? OPM was in the running for the '2023 Best Recruitment Agency' Award and the stars aligned to clinch an award ourselves, making it a night we'll never forget.
Gamescom Cologne, Germany
Games Industry Trade Fair
Gamescom is Europe's largest gaming expo. We sponsored ice cream at the Ukie stand in the B2B section of the show. The Ukie stand is a massive shared space for UK games companies, so it was a great opportunity to showcase our brand in front of the industry’s key players. I put my creative skills to work by designing the ice cream stand, making sure it aligned perfectly with our brand colors at the time. It was a fun way to engage with attendees and leave a memorable impression.
