• Develop and present 3 to 6-month creative plans, including trend analysis and strategic priorities.
• Oversee the creation of all branding elements, including typography, logos, color palettes, and overall brand identity.

• Develop the strategy for and ensure high-quality, high-converting store listing assets (screenshots, app icons, feature graphics).

4. Leadership & Operations

• Create and deliver all design assets for developer implementation, ensuring proper documentation and versioning for a smooth handoff.
• Maintain strong cross-department collaboration, ensuring creative ideas are aligned with both the game development (technical feasibility) and marketing (growth) departments.
