Situations vacant at Electronic Arts

Electronic Arts has gone on a recruitment drive to fill five managerial positions in its European marketing division.

The company, which employs a total of 425 people across Europe, has cited an increase in both turnover and product range as being behind the latest move.

Tom Stone, Electronic Arts European marketing VP, said "We are a reasonably modest company. Electronic Arts is a clear market leader in Europe, and the Christmas season is shaping up to be fabulous."

In the three weekends prior to Christmas, a 60-second commercial is going to be aired on ITV, promoting all EA Sports titles.

Fifa 97, its lead product, has a pan-European marketing budget of u1.6 million, with most of this to be spent on TV advertising in the UK.
