Call of Duty

The brand-new Call of Duty invades the old game.

While we could have announced the new Call of Duty game, Infinite Warfare, through any number of paid media outlets and reached millions of people. But why do that when you can deliver a memorable message through the game itself?  

Role:
Strategy Lead, Creative Concepting

 
 

 
 
Overall, the strategy is both practical and delightful—practical in that it’s so targeted (it’s like if Disney could put an ad for the next Star Wars inside the current Star Wars—though of course, games can do this and movies can’t), and delightful in that it gamifies the very announcement of a new game.
