PlayStation isn’t just the Best Place to Play —it’s also the Best Place to Work. We’ve thrilled gamers since 1994, when we launched the original PlayStation. Today, we’re recognized as a global leader in interactive and digital entertainment. The PlayStation brand falls under Sony Interactive Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation.

The Global Customer Engagement team is part of the broader Digital team within the PlayStation central marketing department. We execute multi-channel digital programs and campaigns developing a meaningful dialogue with tens of millions of customers across the globe.

The team's primary focus is to develop long term relationships with the highly engaged database of PlayStation users. We do this primarily through the email channel and social targeting at both a central and territory level, while also developing new channels like push messaging and on-console Notifications.

Within PlayStation, we are champions of customer-centric and data driven marketing and have established continuous test & learn processes to help us provide the business with insights about our customers and their behavior. We are creative, innovative and technical. And we seek to deliver the most sophisticated, effective marketing programs in the entertainment industry.
