Overview
Turning a broadcast page into a community
GameLoop is Tencent's official Android emulator for playing mobile games on PC. I ran content operations and community growth for the Southeast Asia audience on GameLoop's official Facebook channel, owning the content calendar, the creative, and day-to-day community management.
The Challenge
Followers, but not a community
A large official page was mostly broadcasting product updates to a passive audience. For Southeast Asia — the heartland of PUBG Mobile and a key market for every new title arriving on the platform — that wasn't enough.
The job was twofold: convert passive followers into an active community that comments, shares, and creates — and build launch-day demand for new titles arriving on the platform.
Approach
A content engine built for two-way engagement
I rebuilt the content mix around participation, not announcements. Multi-week launch campaigns for new SEA titles, localized memes, and always-on community management ran underneath — but four recurring formats did the heavy lifting on engagement:
Interactive series
Appointment-style formats engineered to pull comments — a bi-weekly Saturday Q&A and "Reading Comments" videos answered on camera.
Community games
Low-lift, high-participation prompts like Master Detector that turned passive scrolling into a guess-the-answer game.
User-generated content
Player gameplay clips, sourced and spotlighted — turning the audience into creators with a reason to keep posting.
Game content
Title news, mode spotlights, and game highlights tuned to what the SEA community actually played.

Recurring community series
The strategy compounded into real audience growth — the fan page climbed from roughly 2,300 to 10,000+ followers in two months — and, just as important, into participation. The shift to two-way formats showed up where it matters most: in the comments. Interactive formats — the bi-weekly Q&A, the "Master Detector" game, and "Reading Comments" videos — drove roughly 4–6× the comments of standard product announcements, a 300–500% lift.
Launch campaigns sustained that elevated engagement through each countdown, and relatable, localized memes punched above their weight — regularly out-commenting polished brand creative. Replying to players in the comments, post after post, turned one-off engagement into ongoing relationships.
Reflection
What I learned
Operating GameLoop's community taught me to treat content as a growth lever, not a megaphone. The posts that worked weren't the most polished — they were the most relatable and the most participatory. A meme or a "comment your answer" prompt consistently out-engaged a glossy announcement, because it invited people in. Understanding local gaming culture and designing for two-way conversation mattered more than any marketing framework.
