Social Media Contributor
As Bulbagarden continues to work on ways to interact with our users across the internet, we are revamping our social media efforts. Because of this, we’re looking to hire a few dedicated social media editors. What we’re looking for is people who are passionate about the project as well as looking to interact with Pokemon fans across the internet. As we’ve gotten Bulbacast off the ground, we are looking to make a massive push towards video content. Which means we need designers for graphics and thumbnails as well as editors.
You may be writing or working for different Bulbagarden social media platforms, which include:
- Tumblr
- YouTube
Staff Artist
Bulbagarden is also looking for new Staff Artists that can do one or more of the following for the forums and social media channels:
- Make Pokémon related art
- Make graphic art (e.g. banners, image manipulations, etc.)
- Make forum skins
