Atsushi Ozeki

Atsushi Ozeki (大関 淳嗣, Oozeki Atsushi) is a member of Koei Tecmo's advertising department, having joined the group in 2015. His duties involve promoting the company's main titles and forming public relations with numerous channels.

Ozeki formerly worked in sales with another video game company, but became jaded when they neglected home console titles in favor of smartphone gaming apps. This led him to apply to his current workplace because it gave him the opportunity to advertise for console games once more. Being a fan of realistic overseas games and Famicom titles, he often tries to come up with ways to make the things he enjoys more appealing to others.

As a salesman, Ozeki states that the first step to selling a game is to talk about it beforehand. During his college years, he came to appreciate the joy of interacting with people after doing a preliminary survey for his a cappella club to determine what songs worked best during certain hours of the day. Despite not having much technical knowledge early on, he managed to adapt and gained a sense of accomplishment in advertising game information to customers in different platforms whether they be magazines, promotional events, or social media.

For students pursuing a career in public relations, he advises them to learn new things that happen to be fun and trendy. They do not necessarily have to know everything related to marketing since the skills required for certain positions can also be learned on the job. He feels that those who work in the gaming industry should be able to convey the things that make video games fun and enjoyable. In the future, he hopes to improve the accuracy of his company's market data analysis to create more effective ads for newer titles.
