Hello! My name is TurboClicks, and I lead AvatarMC's Communications Team. In this blogpost, I shine a light on this team's incredible work, with the hope of moving you to consider applying!
The Communications Team has a broad skillset with a primary goal of showcasing the server and all of its creations. Our current positions include Photographer, Social Media Specialist, Videographer, Web Specialist, Writer, and 3D Render Artist.
Below are some of the major functions that the Communications Team oversees:
Wiki: The AvatarMC Wiki is the definitive source of truth for players looking for a Towny command to those wanting to learn about which dungeons best fit into their bending level range. Chat Moderators regularly reference the wiki when fielding questions in game. We are in need of Writers who can help us continue to maintain and grow the wiki. This could mean something like updating stats on the Waterbending entry or creating entirely new categories like what our staff is currently doing for the server's custom soundtracks.
Blog: We are also seeking talented Writers who can help contribute to the AvatarMC Blog. Blogposts are used to announce server updates like the recent Towny outpost rework or kick off yearly events like the Festival of Kyoshi Day. Blogposts are crucial, as they help AvatarMC reach new audiences through search engine and social media traffic.
Website: The Communications Team even helps maintain AvatarMC.com to help lessen the burden for the server's Development Team. Our Website Specialists do everything from uploading blogposts to coding entirely new wiki entries. Every blogpost is written using the lightweight markup language, Markdown. The rest of the website is composed of HTML, CSS, and some minor usage of JavaScript. An understanding of Git is necessary for managing the website through our repositories. I am open to working with somebody with the knowledge and passion to continue modernizing the website through new frameworks and libraries.
Media: With our limited resources, we would benefit greatly from additional help in the social media space. We have designed the Social Media Specialist position to create all of the social media content that the server produces for platforms like Instagram and Twitter. The Photographer and Videographer positions help create the media that ends up on our social media platforms and website. Additionally, the 3D Render Artist position works to create renders of our 3D models like the one featured in the recent blogpost announcing new Sokka cosmetics.
Thank you for taking the time to read!
