'THE ENTIRE NIGHT RADIATED AN ATMOSPHERE OF HOPE' - HERSTORY EVENT BY BLACK TWITCH UK AND NOX LUMINA CEMENTS THE POWER OF WOMEN IN ESPORTS | ESPORTS NEWS UK

Black Twitch UK and Nox Lumina hosted women in games event HerStory at London’s Red Bull Gaming Sphere last week, honouring Women’s History Month. Hannah Marie reports from the night.

Influential women spanning the esports and gaming industries gathered to discuss navigating their respective fields, breaking barriers and the overall value of diversity. Attendees included esports and gaming host Frankie Ward (recent host of the 2023 BAFTA Game Awards), Women in Esports manager Billie Purdie, and streamer/presenter Cyborg Angel.

Despite efforts to encourage diversity in esports, women are estimated to make up less than 1% of professional players and around 5% of the overall workforce. So for young girls seeking inspiration, a role model, perhaps, in esports and gaming, women in the scene must stand even taller to be seen among the crowd.
​
Standing tall was precisely the energy surrounding HerStory– one of pride, support and enthusiasm. The entire night radiated an atmosphere of hope.
B2C content is fundamental to all businesses with a public customer base. As a content writer, I have dedicated significant time to developing my B2C skills to ensure I can cater to the specific needs of every client. 

Working with Lionscreed and SideQuest, I have produced content covering news, company updates, announcements, and events. This style of content is more closely focused on community engagement, raising and explaining topics of interest and creating short, yet informative, pieces. Experiences with these companies has also assisted me in developing a strong ability to determine the necessary lengths of written content, ensuring no piece is too long or short for its purpose (which is particularly useful in the writing of announcements). 

With all B2C content, I ensure to gain an understanding of the audience and community that I am writing for. The intricacies of each community are vital to creating effective connections and narratives. Whenever writing in these contexts, I focus on the creation of a narrative to guide readers through a piece - this is often discreet, not necessarily reading in a narrative way (as this is not appropriate for all formats and purposes). However, framing B2C content through this narrative lens assists in understanding how information will be received and consumed. 

While working with a Canada-based beauty client, I also had to gain a deeper understanding of how B2C written content shifts when copywriting. I helped her rewrite her beauty e-commerce site, writing product descriptions for each item, how-to guides, and blog-style accompanying content relating her product to current beauty trends. Each element of this project required an understanding of the customer journey - examining exactly how they would progress through her site towards making a purchase.
