Role(s): | Advertising & Marketing Manager (2004 - 2009) |
Ukchaseral (also known as Al) was a member of Habbo Staff from 2004 until 2009. He was responsible for advertising and marketing for Habbo.co.uk. He was interested in storm chasing (hence the "chaser" in his Habbo name) and was good friends with Lost_Witness throughout his time in the hotel, who joined the Habbo Staff team exactly one week after him.
UkchaserAl's job was to promote Habbo through a variety of marketing channels, including SEO, SEM and affiliate marketing. He was also responsible for organising and running the celebrity visits that occurred within Habbo UK, including visits from McFly, the Sugababes, Jamelia, Akon, The Ting Tings, Ozzy Osbourne, The Subways, DJ Ironik, Bullet For My Valentine, The Automatic, Lily Allen and The Gorillaz. He was also responsible for organising several in-game competitions with external sponsors, including G-Nation, FRANK, NSPCC, Underage Festival, HMF Neon and the original Traxfactor.
UkchaserAl left Habbo in 2009 and set up a digital marketing consultancy. He now works for a digital design and marketing agency in Bournemouth, UK. He is married to the former Habbo UK Office manager, LekkerLaura.
UkchaserAl's Swap Shop
During Summer 2005, UkchaserAl ran a feature in the Habbo Newsie called the "UkchaserAl's Swap Shop". Users were invited to send whichever items they wanted to him in the Habbo UK offices in London, and he would send back something in return, usually this included Habbo credit vouchers. The items received were documented each week in the newsletter, and included everything from PS2 games through to toothbrushes and clothes hangers.
