I simply wanted to pop in here to introduce myself, as I started working with IOI a few months back now. I am part of their Social Media team as a global content creator. Meaning I will be helping Samir (aka Combatglue) with creating and doing posts – mainly on Instagram and TikTok.
My name is Katrine, and I’m so excited to connect with you all! Before working for IOI I’ve done a number of other things. I have a background in journalism and started my career as a reporter for GameReactor in Denmark and later as an esports reporter for ESL. I’ve also worked as a journalist at the Danish TV channel called Glad, working with reporters who have disabilities. But now I’ve found my way back to the games industry - and boy, have I missed it!
Gaming has always been a big part of my life – from helping me learn English as a kid, to being my safe space through it all. I play anything from horror games, immersive RPGs to cozy farming sims. I’m nothing, if not versatile The only thing I haven’t mastered though is being stealthy in Hitman – or any other game for that matter! If Agent 47 is the cool collected hitman, I guess that makes me the wrecking ball sidekick, constantly ruining it for him. But I am in constant awe of the ingenuity of our community, seeing how you solve the tasks the game puts in front of you. So, I look to every one of you for inspiration, when creating social media posts, that will hopefully leave a smile on your faces or even rope you right back into the game
On the forum here, I would love it if you would tag me in anything you think could be a fun thing for our Socials. Maybe you have a compilation we can repost, a content creator we should collab with or highlight, a crazy theory we can dive into, an intriguing easter egg or something else entirely. I would love to shine the spotlight on every one of you, because the creativity in our community really deserves the attention. So any and all ideas are welcome!
Nice! Maybe that encourages people to post more screenshots again.
I guess you will contact people via direct messages if you intend to use media posted here for social media? To be sure that is consensual. At least that is how I remember it with one occasion on reddit.
Welcome! Glad you enjoy the unnecessary but cool creativity in exploring the unconventional ways of completing missions that the community explores - it’s what makes Hitman such an amazing series to me and the community one of the coolest.
Welcome to the forum, Katrine. It’s cool to see this little community expanding even more. The HITMAN screenshot thread is a good place to start looking for creative things to share, as is the fan art gallery.
But for Easter Eggs, a few years back IOI released a Shirt with design referencing 24 of them.
It was fun to identify them, one of them in at the time unreleased map.
Maybe a good template for a series of shorts? (I’m certain the original design is in the IOI offices)
