We worked with Chinese publisher BiliBili to help raise the PR sails on their nautical-inspired RPG.
Overview
Having delivered exceptional results for their previous games (such as Soda Crisis), Chinese publisher BiliBili came to us once again to help raise the profile of their latest game, nautical-inspired RPG Sailing Era.
Our role involved crafting a press release highlighting the game’s strengths, including its highly-detailed recreation of the ocean and weather effects. We also compiled media and influencer lists, utilising our previous connections from BiliBili’s past game launches to enhance our outreach to target key media outlets.
Our team also oversaw code distribution, allocating Steam codes before launch to high-value targets and handling any additional code requests received throughout the launch period. We made use of the Sailing Era’s strong initial interest to generate further coverage across the launch week in top-tier PC-focused outlets, as well as console-focused media.
