ACTIVISION — #CODNATION
To launch the new Black Ops 4 game and its Battle Royale mode, we created a social campaign that united the COD community through their shared love of weird, dumb, and meme-y content made in-game.
Using the game's engine, we made dozens of social videos and invited the COD Nation to do the same. The community loved it and created over 25,000 of their own videos within the first 24 hours.
Results :
Broke Playstation and X-Box Store records for digital downloads
Highest selling day one release for Call of Duty
Black Ops 4 was 2018’s best selling game

We ran a lot of them on TV, which looked pretty damned weird in-between your average pharma and automotive ads.
We were pretty thrilled to find that fans on Youtube were creating some legit reaction video to our weird ads.
