Game and Esports Marketing Lessons Part 3! Especially the game and esports sector has been growing with great momentum in the last 4-5 years. This growth shows that our young people are interested in this field. “My biggest aim is to share my and our 12 years of experience in this sector as transparent as possible and to prepare our young people for this sector. We will transfer our experiences from marketing to operation. The main philosophy of our lessons is to show young people that there are not only esports players or influencers in this sector, but many options from the marketing team to the legal team, health to design and software, development and educating them with real examples before entering the industry.” Starting with these words of our founder Ozan Aydemir, our education journey continues with great interest in BAU Game and Esports Marketing Lessons. In fact, we would prepare each lesson as a separate article. But you know that after the coronavirus, fast actions in many subjects, the time spent at home, and the education carried online, caused us to get used to the new systems. Now we are giving our lessons online and due to the coronavirus, we will try to reach more young people with online lessons.
