How Monster Energy connected with gamers during the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, engaging them directly in gameplay
After a successful first campaign, Monster Energy teamed up with Buff once more for an exciting new activation:
OBJECTIVE:
Monster Energy has long been a staple for Call of Duty players. With the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Monster Energy aimed to energize its brand presence and engage gamers during the most critical time—the game’s launch day.
How could Monster Energy cut through the noise and capture players’ attention right in the midst of gameplay?
APPROACH:
To drive engagement, Monster Energy leverage Buff’s exclusive Moment-Triggered Ads technology to develop a Leaderboard Tournament in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, perfectly synchronized with the game’s release across 24 countries.
The tournament encouraged players to compete against one another to dominate the leaderboards, earning amazing prizes.
A wide-reaching media campaign amplified the tournament, increasing both awareness and player participation.
