Who’s this Klanger? An Interview with JJ Plunkett

We would like to Introduce JJ, our Lead Community Manager! We chatted with him about a lot, from his passion for SEED to his love of music.

How did you find your way to Klang?

Well, I moved to Berlin three and a half years ago for a position at a marketing agency working in gaming and Esports. It was a great experience but at some point, I decided to look for something fresh and new. I was also interested in focusing on one brand instead of managing several different ones. That’s when I saw a position for Klang on LinkedIn and applied! The rest was pretty straightforward.

What is your favorite part of working as a Lead Community Manager?

I would say I have several favorite parts rather than just one specific one, but I particularly enjoy working with imaginative people who enjoy brainstorming and generating great ideas. I find it fulfilling to use creativity to develop content and ideas that resonate with the community. Another thing I love is working with diverse communities, getting to understand them, having fun with them, and actively being a part of them as well. I am really glad that Klang sees the community as an important part of the creation of SEED.

What excites you most about SEED?

A lot of things excite me about SEED. I'm very intrigued by the political dynamics within the game, where community members actively engage in role-playing and immerse themselves in the lore. As a strategy game enthusiast, I find SEED's unique features especially cool. Additionally, the fact that there’s nothing quite like it on the market makes working on such an innovative project especially exciting.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I have a deep passion for music. Each week, I make it a point to discover three new bands, curate playlists, collect albums, and build up my record collection. Music is a significant part of my life (I even have a bunch of music-related tattoos), and exploring new sounds brings me a lot of joy. Besides that, I also enjoy time with friends and gaming when I can find the time.

What is your favorite part about living in Berlin?

Berlin's social life is awesome. There are so many different kinds of people in the city and the food and restaurants are amazing. Plus it’s a great place for the gaming industry. I moved here to work in gaming and quickly managed the social media channels for Gamescom, plus we also have a big Esports and gaming scene which I really enjoy.

Thank you JJ for all of your amazing work! We are grateful to have you on our team.
