[/p][h3]Behind the Team: Lauren McMullen, Borderlands 4 Influencer and Creator Marketing Manager[/h3][p]Every week, we’re spotlighting one of the minds behind the mayhem. You’ll get to learn about folks from both Gearbox and 2K, and how each person who touches the game both influences and is influenced by Borderlands 4. This week, we're talking with Lauren McMullen, 2K’s Influencer and Creator Marketing Manager:[/p][p][/p][p]What goes into deciding which creators are the right fit for a game or campaign?[/p][p]Lauren: So much stuff! But the first and most important determining factor (at least for me) is a genuine passion for the game.[/p][p]If we're partnering with someone to make content for one of our games, we want that person to enjoy making that content. :heart:
[/p][p]How do you maintain authentic relationships while working within brand guidelines?[/p][p]Lauren: Honesty = authenticity. I always try to be upfront about what we're looking for when we first reach out to any creator to partner with us. If there are any things a creator should or shouldn't include in the content we're making together, it's best to make sure we're all on the same page from the start.[/p][p][/p][p]What advice would you give for someone just starting out in your role?[/p][p]Lauren: Play a lot of games, watch a lot of livestreams, discover the creators YOU like, and reach out to them! We're all just a bunch of people here in the games space working on what we love. Sparking those relationships early on has always been something I never regretted doing.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Community Creative Corner[/h3][p]Our community members aren’t just gamers—many of you are also artists. Whether it’s cosplay, digital art, or some yet-to-be-invented medium, we’re your biggest fans. Check out this week’s hand-picked fan creations:[/p][p]![]()
