The Marketing Intern | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 229

Please welcome Jeremiah Potter to Sacred+. Jeremiah is a senior at the University of Kentucky, and his studies there led him to an interesting experience this past summer, when he worked as an intern at Unity Technologies. Unity is a huge company in the gaming industry, employing more than 5,000 people and earning more than a billion dollars in annual revenue. (You'd probably know them best from their titular engine that powers the likes of Hollow Knight, Kerbal Space Program, Tunic, Inscryption, Death's Door, and so much more.) Jeremiah is a prime example of what I often talk about on our show: That the games industry has a varied appetite for people with all sorts of skill-sets, not just ones rooted in the creation of games themselves. As a 'growth marketing' intern, Jeremiah interacted with a sector of gaming many don't even know exist, and his experience is proof that you, too, can make your way inside, if you work hard enough (and catch a little bit of luck along the way).
