Comment from a recruiter
The Cygames internship program has been well received by many students every year, as it provides an opportunity to learn about the thinking, mindset, and specific approaches to "the best content" with top creators who are active on the front lines of the industry. In addition to last year's course, we have added a new "Marketing Course" this year. The approach to marketing in the game industry is changing with the times, but this program is not just about temporary sales promotions; it is about how to communicate the appeal of content so that users can enjoy games for a long time. The program is designed to allow participants to experience the marketing approach that only Cygames can offer. We hope you will take a look at the video outlining each course on our special website and become interested in the internship program at Cygames. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
